The argument raging from the other side of the cave filled me with mounting fury with every word.
Joyce stood before the entrance, yelling, "Julia, I advise you to hand over the grilled fish and coconuts right now!"
"I heard you picked some berries too, didn't you? Hand them all over, or we'll come in and take them!"
'Come in and take them?'
I scoffed internally. If it weren't for the narrow opening, Joyce would have barged in already.
Julia blocked the entrance, a sharp stone clutched in her hand. Disgust twisted her features as she said, "If you want food, go find your own. Why should I give you mine?"
"Joyce, if you try to take my food, I'll cut you. "
"There's no medicine on this island. A few deep cuts, and you're as good as dead!"
Joyce recoiled, but she didn't back down.
