Chapter 8
Apparently, Oliver's little errand for the girls to run was fetching food for the trip. Their sacks were filled with an assortment of nuts, bread, goat cheese and biltong.
"You know this is crazy right?" Linda stated as she stared at the table.
Davis swung an arm over her shoulder, "Well yes, but if you don't want to come, we'll totally understand why you want to stay here at the orphanage, knit and count the dust specks on the mantle." He thought a bit then clicked his fingers, "Hey, maybe you can even ask Mrs Booth if you can watch her paint dry!"
Linda blushed and shoved his arm of her, "Well I guess there is nothing for me here."
"Brilliant!" Oliver clapped his hands together, "Well I've got to go, anything else we need? No? Yes? No? Okay."
Then he left without really giving his friends enough to time answer.
"Bloody hell, we're all gonna die." Mumbled Breece.
-----------------
It was later that evening that Breece was filling his water sack down at the river that Linda skipped down to the muddy waterside, her hair neatly combed and began to fill her water sack beside Breece.
"Breece?" She asked.
Breece put the cap back on the now full water sack and raised his head to look at her, "Hmmm?"
"When are we going?"
Breece thought for a moment before standing up and answering, "I ain't got a clue."
Breece looked at the dull stone buildings across the river and the permanently hunched fisherman sitting on the edge of the water holding little bits of string that dangle into the water.
Breece was terrified of leaving this place, but he was also scared of staying here, and possibly becoming one of the men he saw before him.
Linda finished filling up her water sack and stood up just when Davis came sprinting down from a street and yelled at them, "Guys! Travis just got rushed in to the medicine house, and he's not looking too good!"

Doesn't hurt to vote. 👍🏼
Short update but oh well.
Tell me what you think in the comments. What will happen next? Man I suck at cliff hangers. Oh well. Will Travis die? Find out, after the break... *random music*
