The chief's family had dinner with Moira, and Moira enjoyed the chief's wife's cooking, it tasted so good. The chief himself and his grand daughter who had escorted Moira, earlier today, strolled with. Moira and left her at the door of the rest house.Moira entered the rest house, and gathered everyone with her, then she told everyone, what has happened, in the village, and everyone listened attentively, then Maera asked, but. we are not involved in this, sister, "yeah" say's Betty, why should we care? it's none of our business eh? "Oh whatever, but we must take safety means and also. try avoiding. get seen tonight." Moira said loudly,
Okay let's start our safety measures, Get washed girls for noone's allowed out tonight and make you beds cos I want every girl's in one room, gather all our things in the other room and Peter lock the door so if anything happen's but all our thing's are safe. At 8:30 everything was as expected, the girl's had, washed, and made their beds in one room, as Moira had told them, and the boy's had locked everything, except for the clothes they were wearing and their beding's. Moira said, alright girls get some sleep and always be alert ok ? the girls nodded, some said "yes" and Moira, said to Peter, turn off the lights; and Peter turned off the lamp; in no minute, everyone was sleeping,.
It was late after midnight when, Maera,thought she heard a noise, trying to get to sleep again, she heard a shout, she started, and sat up now wide awake and straining her ears thinking maybe I was dreaming, and she heard it again now a female was screaming, the mens voices, she jumped out of bed and ran to the window, and lifted just slightly, the curtain that was hanging at the window, and because the moon was just going down, there was still enough light, to see the figures of men, there were lot's of them, and they were leading and dragging women and girls outside, those who insisted were whipped, and they went from house to house, and nearer and nearer to the rest house, Maera woke the other girls and the two men , then they all pushed each other at the window to see whats going on outside, then Moira said, Solaz, try to hear what they are saying, yes ma'am, and the sounds, came closer and closer, till Solaz said ma'am, they are taking out one or two girls from each homes, to take as their hostage, for the man who cut down the trees. The chief must find him, and the women and girls will be returned safely; wow says Moira, and do you think that, they will take any girl from here too?
I dont know says Solaz, hmm Moira, and the girls sat in silence till "wham" the door was kicked open, and two men stood with their bush knives, the girls were shivering and Moira said its alright girls. Ill go, and Maera jumped up "NO" you are the only one who can care for everyone, and if I go, I know you will do everything to get me back, so Maera stood up, and walked toward the man, Flora too stood up and ran towards Maera, and the two men with the bush knives, looked surprised, that these girls came willingly, so the closest one motioned them to lead the way outside. The girls were taken to the girls and women, outside, so Maera and Flora, as they joined in, the wife of the chief came to comfort them, and patted their backs saying, its alright, we must just do as they say and they wont do any harm to you cos they know you are just our guests.
