"This is it!" she gazes at the gleaming gem "This will.. Gertrude, we will never go hungry again."
You stare at the gem but cannot see anything other than trouble. Your friend is right, but at what cost? This is something precious. So precious that Solace hides it away in a box, and hides the box away to different places every time it's found. There is no other way to say that she doens't want people to touch it or the contents. She must care about it more than chocolate. You aren't sure if taking the jewel might get you hunted down by Solace, or worse, Risa If you bring it home and they find out...
"No!"
"Why?" Keirra sounded deathly concerned. "Please, Gertrude. You don't know what it's like to go to bed hungry for an entire week. I've only dreamed of this opportunity. We have to take it!"
"No. Remember what the sentry said? About something that happened in the closet? They most likely took something like this! And it hasn't checked in, could either be destroyed or..." you paused frozen in realization. The closet! You zip your head towards the closet door as it opens.
"Solace..." you heard Keirra as she too realizes the danger.
Out of the closet door came a giant leona. The felines hand are covered in blood along with her mouth, cuts aligned her lips and fingers; signs of the outposts heavy resistance with tacks and needles. Growling is heard in her chest, and her eyes, filled with her livid nature, lock with yours. You felt the glare of death burn throughout your body, your body that shivers uncontrollably with fear and rage now.
Both your legs are frozen in horror as she charges and swats the two of you off the dresser with a single swipe of her left hand.
You land painfully with a hard thud on the against the wooden boards. Dazed and confused you look around in hopes of finding Keirra. You see the gray figure limp by you before they forgot their pain and ran as fast as her legs would work.
"Keirra.." you managed to say through your pain. She didn't look back as she fled. You gather what strength you had left and crawled towards the door to the living room. "Keirra.. Please help... I don't want to die..."
Your pleas were ignored. Your friend is leaving you behind. You can't believe she left you for dead. Your heart aches worse than your body. You trusted her! You fed her and clothed her and took her in and she just leaves you to die!
You twist your head and look behind you. Solace knelt over and grasped you. You black out and are at her mercy.
