Chapter 7: Played by Centaur

Inside the hut of Arnie's, her parents and siblings are worried. it's been hours since she left with the two bottles of water. They are finish picking the palm fruits, her father and her brother Jr is currently looking for her. It's past noon and they need to go home to soak the palm fruits in water.

Betty: My GOD, where did your sister go??? Loida didn't your older sister mention anything about doing or going somewhere??? Betty asks her daughter Loida.

nothing mom, she just drank some water from the jar and put some water in the bottles and just leave. Loida answered her mother.

A while later, they heard someone calling outside at the road that leads to their hut.

Peter..... Peter... he kept calling Peter's name.

Betty went out of their hut hurriedly to see who is the person calling outside.

Narding!!! it's you... Peter is not here, he is looking for Arnie with Jr.

We were picking palm fruits on the west side of our farm earlier when she asks to leave to get some water here in the hut and get some firewoods to boil the palm fruits. She didn't come back, I thought she fell asleep here at the hut because she is tired. We didn't notice that she is missing.

Narding: My gosh!!! that's the reason why I came here.

I've been on our farm in the upper part just near your farm, I encountered Arnie along the way. She is very fast!!! it seems like she is riding on a fast horse. I'm calling her but she didn't hear me. I guess your daughter was played by a centaur. Narding told them.

Betty: my God!!!

Don't play a joke like that to us Narding. Betty said worriedly.

Narding: I am not joking Betty. better yet, get ready and go home, go to the captain and tell him everything so that he could call for a meeting to assemble people who could help to look for Arnie. I'll go and tell Peter and Jr about it so that they could go home and get ready for the search.
