It was quiet in the tent. Everyone was staring, but none of them was willing to say a word. Occasionally, all their attentions would shift to Richard as though he was a messiah. There had been a great concern that arose amongst them after what Rachel said. The mention of cannibal sent chills down the spines of the rest of the girls. Richard was racking his brain, too. Whatever he would say to them must be something that would uphold them rather than put them to fear. He was yet to figure out the situation for himself, let alone assure someone else. He didn't want to make promises that he wouldn't be able to follow through with. He didn't think he was ready to put such a burden upon himself. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way he could have. How was he going to start? He didn't even know a goddamn thing about a cannibal. All he knew was from one of the books he had once read. It was also something that the rest of the group must have heard, too. Cannibals feed
The girls gathered around him. He felt like a king who had earned himself a harem. On the fluffy note of the situation, he should be very pleased with himself. Which he was. But then things were beginning to get really serious. "I'm thirsty." He continued. The girls eyes were glued to him as they awaited what next he was going to say. "I'm sure that everyone is thirsty, too. And we don't have any water. We emptied the water last night when we ate." He sighed. "That's why we are going to search for water. Because apparently, we can't drink from the ocean." He suggested. What he had suggested made sense to the majority of them, but of course, it was natural for there to be some with questions. "Are we all going into the forest? To look for water?""I was about to ask the same question, too." Someone else added. Richard's eyes still lingered on Rachel, the first girl who had asked the question. "That was a good question." He nodded. "We can't all go searching for water. Originall
"A ship!!!!""Omg!!! It's a ship!!!""Over here! Come over here!!!""There are people here!!!""We are stranded here!!! Help us! Save us!!!"All the girls were shouting in accord. There wasn't one of the girls who was not doing her best to get the ship to notice them. "Get a palmfrond. Get a long stick. Get anything to wave!!" Lila was the girl yelling the order this time. One of the girls went running towards the forest like the wind. She picked up one of the fallen hands of the palm tree and started to race back to the water. "Wave it! Wave it!!!" Aine ordered the girl. The girl was waving as though she didn't care whether or not her hand would fly off her body. She was doing it with every sense of urgency and desire. "Bring it here!!!" Linda quickly ran to the girl and snatched the thing from her. "Somebody, let me climb on your shoulder." Linda called. "Climb me." Lila offered without even putting a thought into it. Lila bent down to the very earth until her body was posit
Richard was clueless as he stayed glued to the spot. In his wildest imaginations, he couldn't have thought that a moment like this would happen with the ladies. It was just as though they had all bitten him in the back. He stood groundless, staring as they all walked off. Including Lila and Aine. As he stood there, he was gritting his teeth, but then again, he realized that even if he tried so hard, he couldn't hate Lila. He really wished that he could find a way to hate her, but he just couldn't. How could she join with the rest of the group? Does he mean nothing at all to her? He was very offended. In the midst of these ugly thoughts, he realised that he was having the wrong worries. He should be worried about getting all the girls back. So far, he had been able to sleep with only one of them. There were still six girls left. He wasn't going to give up so easily. All of a sudden, his jaws tightened. He shut his eyes and labored the eyelids that were already shut. "What the fuck
When Richard walked into the tent, the majority of the girls wanted to disappear into thin air. Although they had all agreed to stick to just one script and follow the suggestions of Linda, yet standing in the presence of Richard, they felt really less of themselves. Richard didn't utter a word yet. He just stood at the door, staring from one girl to the other. The majority of the girls had dropped their gazes. There were only two girls who were looking directly at him. One of the girls was glaring while the other was just staring. Linda was the girl glaring, while Lila was just staring, curious to know what Richard was up to. When he noticed the fierce and hostile reaction on Linda's face, he knew that Linda must have said some things to the other girls. He didn't know what it could be categorically, but he was quite certain that it was something quite harsh and serious. He decided to throw a bait instead of falling into their trap. Also, while making an attempt to throw the bait
After all Linda had said, all the girls had been staring at Richard. Although they all wanted what Linda wanted, they were scared of Richard, too. They were worried that he wouldn't accept this, let alone so easily. Some of them were shocked when Richard said okay and was headed towards his stuff. They couldn't believe their eyes. Would Richard really accept and embrace this humiliation without lifting a finger?The majority of the girls knew that the possibility of this was very slim, yet they couldn't help but hope so dearly. They were staring at him keenly as he kept on walking. All of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks. When he stopped, the heart of the girls missed a beat. Some of them who were already skeptical about his silence became worried, and sudden affirmation began to replay the scary thoughts flying around in their head. When he stopped, he turned and looked around. "What are you doing? Get what you want and leave!" Linda snapped, standing on her words. It was rea
"Open up!!!""Open the tent!!!""You crazy jerk!!! Are you going to leave us out here?!!!""Richard!!!""I'll tear this tent down if you don't open it right away!!!" The loud voices of the girls were everywhere. They were yelling so loudly that they didn't care whether or not they would hurt their vocal chords. They were pushing, tugging at, and trying to do all they could to gain access back into the tent. But all they tried was to no avail. They had all been hurled out of the tent like unwanted items. Richard didn't even care whether or not they were ladies and should be treated with care because of how fragile their nature is. He had thrown each of them out and even went ahead and hurled one lady on another, causing them a lot of pain. Richard was in the tent. All alone. He had a lot going on in his head. This wasn't how he had planned for this to go, but he couldn't think of any other way to get the girls to keep quiet. He knew what kind of lady Linda was. If she set her hea
All the girls were gathered under a large three. Beneath the large hickory tree, there was a plain sight. Save for the sharp stones all around the earth, which decorated the root of the tree. There was nothing much to see. This made it easy for the girls to settle down at the foot of the tree without worrying about green snakes that could be hiding in thin pastures. None of the girls was saying anything to the other person. They were all staring blankly. Into the forest. Most of them were still breathing heavily. Only a few of them have been able to regulate their breathing pace. They had walked about a couple of miles away from the beach. They didn't want to be any close to the lunatic Richard. They were scared for their lives. Most of them had been more worried about the gun than they were about accosting wild animals. They had almost even forgotten that they once saw something scary in the woods, which made them come up with a strange and scary conclusion. One of the girls he
