the day after that i tried to speak to harrow but he was nowhere to be found.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrypAtHNhk
the next few days were tense and quiet. there was a certain edge to everything now.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM5EVjSMab
people still worked in the fields and took care of the animals, but nobody laughed as much. people talked quieter. more guards stood watch at night. every now and then i would catch people looking out toward the woods.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA3mdoz8w4
like they were waiting for something to come out of them.
as i sit near the edge of the woods on break from working in the fields i stare emptly towards the trees.
“someone needs to step up.”
i look over at sammy who is sitting near me.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvmJchncrv
he looks at me after breaking out of deep thought.
“what did you say?”
i sigh in annoyance. “i said someone needs to step up.”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXue2Vt25U
i pause for a sec. “you know ever since the huntin trip you’ve been actin weird, what’s going on sammy?”
sammy looks into the woods again.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uAdX0UTSK
“it’s nothing… it’s…”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEobzllrp2c
he tosses a pebble he’s been fiddling with this whole time.
“…stupid.”
i look at him with interest. “what is?”
he freezes again, then looks at me like he’s about to speak—
abby, drake, ashley, and katie come over.
“what are you two yappy about?” ashley says.
sammy looks back at the woods.
“nothing you need to worry about… you’re a bit too young, ashley,” i say bluntly.
“careful jack, that’s my little sis you’re talking to,” drake says, then looks at her. “but… yeah, jack is right.”
abby looks at me worried.
i catch the look. “whatcha lookin at?”53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd7S2zXcNg
she just looks away and i scoff.
later that night after it goes dark I go walk the woods, the nght is silent no birds singing, no crickets chirping.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2ckG4X7br
