Roe was packing something when she saw me getting up and smiled.
" We need to run. They must be back by now with the boat. We need to return. "
She said.
" Return? Wait what! Why? "
I hurriedly sat up.
" I don't know. Mother sent Xie a message with the hawk. She asked us to come back. Immediately. "
" Is Aku alright? "
My heart started racing, completely forgetting about everything that our new mission was all about.
" I don't know but I think it wouldn't have been my mother to send us the mail, had anything happened to our little star. You know, it would have been father or maybe the army.... "
She tried to joke. She had a point.
I tried to calm down as the wind took us back
