"I would have helped. But I can't"
Ryan frowned at the man. But how could any of them understand what he was going through, just standing and recalling what had happened in the past.
"Fine. Then we should take our leave now?" Chloe said. She wanted to help, Instead of staying quiet and let the bad breath in her mouth gather so much that she knew, she needed to brush her teeth.
"You better. It is not a good idea to be in the wilderness. So please return back to where ever you might came from... "
"No!"
All eyes turned to Felicity who now has a hard look on her face. The ladies behind her stepped forward when she did.
"I will lead you to Perilous"
LiLi's eyes widened when Felicity looked at her.
"You are not going anywhere, Felicity" Will hushed.
"Try me"
Everyone stared at Felicity and her girls in shock. What did she just say?
"Getting out of this shit hole is one great achievement of all of us if we have the opportunity to do so but we don't. Why? Because of some generational curse!" Felicity said.
Ryan and Chloe looked at each other, same goes for Leo and LiLi, Salient and Liam while Joe kept his gaze fixed in the scene.
A brave girl. Joe thought.
LiLi smiled at Felicity but was a bit shocked at the sight of Will chuckling.
He took this as a joke?! Huh, what a strange father, LiLi thought.
*BAM!*
Felicity took a step backwards and faced her left hand side as the slap that thundered on her face made her to lose balance but only for a moment.
"You are not going anywhere, you bitch" Will said and stared at his daughter for some moments and walked past her, brushing his shoulder against hers, he yelled:
"Go on your trip and God help you to locate Perilous on your own!"
LiLi was dumbfounded at the sight of his slap. But Felicity just smiled.
Something she have experienced everyday. It wasn't a new thing. She looked up at LiLi and let a wicked smile escape her lips.
"Go" she whispered with a smile and LiLi stared at her confused.
If it was her that Will slapped, she would have fainted, or worse be dead by now.
LiLi quickly obeyed and together, they all departed from the cave.
Leo stood there though and analysed over everything. He knows that he will still see Will and his crew. One day. Soon.
LiLi made sure that she kept a distance from all of them as they walked to get to the back of the mountain where the cave is.
Leo and Ryan are always conscious. They sensed something wrong when it comes to LiLi.
"LiLi, are you okay?" Ryan asked and LiLi nodded.
"Perfectly okay"
"A lie" Ryan retorted.
Before LiLi could say anything, Felicity took over.
"Now listen... " she said and turned to them that are behind her.
"I got my ass kicked for leaving the cave and it hurts. But please feel comfortable to talk to me. I am... A bit of a loner and... I wanted to come out to see if I can talk to... To you all"
It was just like as if a bomb exploded.
That explained a lot through her behavior, coarse voice, body posture and all that. It explained why she was always harsh.
Everyone stared at her and the rugged girls behind her.
"Don't worry, we talk to people who help us" Salient said with a smile, just to keep Felicity happy.
Felicity half smiled at his little cute voice amd LiLi stepped out.
"Talking to you, isn't one damn problem"
Felicity loved this saying. She had a horrible past that resulted to the death of her Mum. She really do look for ways to forget about it but it just keep coming.
The smile on Felicity's face soon turned back into a frown. She turned and kept walking and all the others behind couldn't help but wonder what type of person she was.
But LiLi understood her pain and point of view of things, she won't blame her.
Leo didn't forget about what was happening before Felicity broke in with her thunderous feelings, and so he stared at LiLi. Probably thinking that she have forgotten about it.
But LiLi knew she couldn't tell them what she felt at that moment, so she just walked on. Both brothers knew something was wrong.
But just in the middle of their thoughts, the ground shook. Everyone looked at one another.
"What is that?" Chloe had already started panicking. Eartheneous. They shouldn't forget that it was still in their midst.
"Don't tell me that it is... "
Salient's eyes widen when he turned round and stared at wat was behind them. "Bees!"
Everyone looked back and saw a bunch of bees flying towards them.
"Oh my God, Felicity what are we gonna do!" Chloe panicked.
But Felicity remained fearless. "Follow me"
They all ran in the direction Felicity and her girls led them to without catching a breath. Liam held Salient in his arms. Although the boy's weight weighed him down, he still placed in more effort in running and carrying him.
LiLi, not used to running, found it a bit difficult to even raise a leg. Chloe ran for her life and even overtook the person leading them.
"Sorry but, overtaking is allowed in the game!" she yelled when she was about to pass Felicity and everyone laughed.
But...
They stopped laughing immediately they started because another bunch of bees was coming from the front this time.
"They got us surrounded!" Liam said.
All eyes on Felicity and her girls, but there was no way to follow apart from the place Felicity had in mind which is in front.
So...
"There's only one thing to do" Felicity said and everyone waited Impatiently because the bees were not delaying!
"And what's that?" Joe asked.
"We have to fight our way through"
"Haha, yeah right. Ever heard of assassins fighting two bunch of bees before? Hmm?" Chloe asked hysterically and everyone shot at her a hard glare, so she backed off.
"Fine... Let's do this"
