I still don't believe what I had seen.
"That's enough Amma." Tuh says.
She nods. I stand up.
"Would you like to see the rest of the village?" Tuh asks.
"I should get back home." I take up a spear.
"Wait, you can't leave. Not in your condidtion." Amma says.
"I'm fine. I cannot stay here." I say.
I'm not safe. They're not safe. I saw their thoughts. It was horrifying. It was like slowly drowning in blood. I don't want to befall this village. The children have full bellies and sing songs like flowers. I do not want to be their downfall. I shouldn't be their downfall. Tuh takes my hand. I look at her.
"Please. You are safe here. I'll show you." Tuh leads me out.
The sun almost blinds me.
"Oops. Sorry." Tuh says.
"It's fine." I blink several times.
My eyes adjust to the sun. I turn. I see several houses. A small bed of plants. She points. I look at the way she is pointing. Are we in some sort of hole? There were cliffs all around us. It was like we're in some sort of a sink hole.
"You see? You are safe here." She takes my hand.
"I-" I start.
"Please stay. Let us repay our debt to you." She smiles.
"Okay." I let out a breath.
"Let me show you around." She smiles.
