Chapter twenty
-Cinder's POV-
Honestly when I looked around I was kinda impressed with the humans. They seemed to have a decent system here. An intricate system.
I nudged Fennel who was looking at bows and arrows. She stood up and looked at me. "Do you think they have a monarchy here?" I asked.
"I'm not sure... Ask someone here if they have a queen..." She said back before going back to her browsing.
I rolled my eyes. It had been a couple days since we got here, we've been looking around.
When I turned away I saw the woman we saw when we first got here. She was motioning to me, somewhat urgently. I tapped Fennel again, "I'll be right back..."
"Kay..." She said absentmindedly.
I crossed the dirt road and walked over, "Hello, How have you bee-"
"You need to leave!" She interrupted. I flinched a little from the sudden burst of concern that came from her.
"W-Why?" I said looking around then smiling at her. Though my smile suddenly dropped when I looked at her face. Complete worry was in her eyes, she looked less healthy than when I last saw her.
"They're coming" she started, "You are not safe!"
"When's the last time you ate? You don't look well...." I said, kneeling down to where she was sitting.
She shook her head, "That does not matter, you are in danger."
"It matters to me. Lets get you something to eat..." I smiled and stood up.
When I left I bought her a loaf of bread, making sure it was perfect, and bringing it back to her.
As I sat next to her she looked at me, then the bread, "Oh no... I cannot take this... Save this for you and your friend..."
"Fennel would want you to have this too." I said, breaking off a piece and handing it to her.
She took it reluctantly, giving me a thankful look. I smiled back and took a small bite of my piece.
After eating for a bit she spoke up, "Margret...."
I looked at her, "Hm?"
"I never told you my name.. It's Margret..." She said, smiling at me.
I smiled back, "Now, explain what you wanted to, I'm here to listen..."
