Chapter 29 Now You Got What You Wanted

   "So, the day is finally over?" Little Ben said as he climbed down from tbe tree with a bunch of fruits in his hands. 
"No, is Just getting started, silly" Curl said with a hiss. 
Little Ben handed some fruits to Iliya who was sitting down on the ground, enjoying the feels of the grasses, and the cool and soothing wind from the trees. 
"Boss, aren't we going to eat meat tonight?" 
"You know where to get them, don't you?"
"Aish, you do your thing best." 
"We will manage the remaining meat inside until tomorrow. I just want to rest. Now, we should be going back inside before someone sees us".
"Ouch, just a little time mm? I like the fresh air" Iliya pleaded. 
"I wish but we have stayed here for many hours, we can't risk getting captured. Besides there's enough air inside…" 
"I know, but the view and everything, you don't get it inside." 
"That's not a problem, you can climb to the top from the inside, and you can view a large portion of the lands" Curl paused there, Iliya and Little Ben threw him a look as if to say "did you really say that?!"
"Climb up? That's ironic right?" Iliya asked him. 
"Ummm" Curl opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. 
"Save it. Come on give me a hand, let's go inside then." Curl helped Iliya get up and led her inside. 
  Curl layed down on his bed, and as he was about to close his eyes, a butterfly came flapping it's wings and rested on his nose, right in front of his eyes. 
"Huh? Why does this butterfly… um is the same butterfly"
"Oh this butterfly again, look who's getting love from a butterfly, haha" Little Ben said. 
"Yes, is the same butterfly…" the butterfly became so quiet and only moved it's antenna as if it was looking for signals. So, Curl paid more attention to it, and it seemed it was hypnotizing him. 
"And, the eyes, they are… like a view of… huh" Curl was getting lost, Iliya and Little Ben couldn't figure out what was happening. 
"Hey, hey what's wrong" Little Ben kept calling and tapping him. He didn't say a word but raised a finger up to tell him to keep quiet, as time went on, his face changed, he became afraid, and it was all over his face…
                                               ****
  Kar was looking after Pradai, he looked around and at the two Meivs who were standing guard. He went outside to see the two Lynx Lynchs, and he became worried. He went straight to the Lynx Lynch who lost half of his ponytail. 
"What now?" He said with contempt. 
"I think we should double the security" 
The Lynx Lynch looked at him like he was mad, and shaked his head. 
"You must be crazy" 
"I am telling you, we should have more people here" Kar was starting to get pissed off. The Lynx Lynch charged back at him with an angry tone
"Huh? Who are you to make those commands ? I think you'r getting on my last nerves kid, be careful." 
  All Kar thought was beating the hell out of him, but it won't be easy, he would be getting into more trouble and that would hinder his chances of getting what he wanted. So he tried to be as cool as possible. 
"Then I would have to go tell the Councilors myself" and as he tried to move, the Lynx Lynch blocked him and drew out his sword. 
"You are not going anywhere." He threatened Kar, and he stepped back. 
"Why are you doing this? I am telling you, we need more people. It was what we agreed on, we talked about this." 
"You talked about this? You keep talking as if you have a say in this. Look, as long as I and him are concerned, you don't have any say in this, and you are nothing."
"Is that so?"
"What did you just say?"
"What? Nothing, nothing" Kar defended himself and movede away from him. 
  "We have lost more than enough brothers. We are not dragging any more Lynx Lynchs into this bullshit. We are enough, and we can take care of anything here, we can take care of her. After all we are not the only ones that can fight, I don't even know why we were dragged into this when it isn't even what we should be doing. This is below us, just because of that thing? Is the gaurds that should handle this, of even the warriors, not us! They have belittled us"
"Do you need reminding of your job description?"
"Get out of here before I end you!" The Lynx Lynch threatened him again, but this time around Kar wasn't going to back down. 
"No, I am not going anywhere, I have had enough of all these. You are to protect and fight against all threats both internal and external, and she is a threat! You refer to her as if she is just a thing, as if she is nothing, but look at your ponytail, she is the one who cut it, two Lynx Lynchs killed, she is the one! Look at your brother's face, is her doing. You talk about the warriors, is this a war?."
The Lynx Lynch didn't say anything again, but went to sit down, and after a moment had passed, Kar was still there. 
"We are not involving more Lynx Lynchs into this. And that is final. We are six here, we are enough,or should I say five? Because you are not even strong…" 
  Kar looked at him with disgust and went inside. As he laid back against a pillar, letting his body trust the support of the structure, the Meiv who captured Pradai came to him. 
"You are afraid, aren't you?" 
"Afraid of what?"
"Afraid of her. Afraid that she would escape, and come for you."
"I am not afraid of anybody" he said, and looked at Pradai, and walked away from there. 
                                              ****
  Iliya and Little Ben were still looking at Curl, confused and lost. Then Curl started breathing heavily as the butterfly that perched on his face flapped away.
He was still laying there, petrified. And then, he managed to muffle out some words. And they watched him let out those words out as if he was being careful not to be mistaken.
"Pradai… she is in danger."
   Iliya and Little Ben looked at each other in fear.
