“Just trust me they’re not going to die. In the end this will all blow over and we’ll be a happy family again,” Will said this in a surely voice, but he didn’t know what would happen. He was scared too.

“Remember you don’t have a house now. Where your house used to be, there are many soldiers burning our family and friends. Do you really want to go back there? I don’t mean to scare you but look at the reality of it.”

“C’mon Will I really want to go up in the tree,” Sally whined in her obnoxious high-pitched voice. Before he could even think about what she was asking she had started up the tree, swinging her featherweight body on the branches.

“Sally, get back down here right now,” Will called. He was careful to not make too much noise in fear that soldiers would find them. Sally didn’t even consider going back down and she kept on climbing until she reached a nice solid branch a little ways higher than where Ketzal was positioned. Finally Will gave up hopes that she would come down and had no other choice than to climb up the tree and catch her.

“Good choice,” Ketzal remarked as she watched in awe as he easily flung himself up the tree. He gracefully grabbed one branch by the next completely oblivious to the fact that Ketzal was watching every move he made. To her disappointment he continued on a couple branches above her instead of stopping on the branch beside hers.

“We lived on the East side of town, you know by some of the markets. My dad is a merchant so it made sense to live there, instead in a prettier part of town.’’

“Well really all sorts of things but mainly jewelry and decorations.” Ketzal could see where this was headed. How they were rich and she was poor. So she decided to change subjects.

“In my opinion if we lose all of those poor women with green eyes and the soldiers leave us away than I would be quite content. In fact all of those women with the green eyes should have just gave themselves up so they wouldn’t have to put us through all this torture.” Ketzal was shocked at his response and made sure to cover her eyes.

“Will, can I climb higher?” Sally whined. He didn’t hear her as he was focused on the view towards the village. “Will!” she screamed, this time.

“Didn’t hear a thing,” said another tall skinny man with a ponytail. They were both dressed in the traditional red uniform with a loaded gun on their back.

“Well I think we should rest here and make sure there are no villagers hanging out in these woods,” decided the fat one was all red in the face.

“Good with me, I could use a break too.” Ketzal slowly kept creeping up the tree. Branch by branch she slowly made her way up. She would check the branch first to make sure it was okay to put her weight on and then would step. Then she got off balance and lost her balance. She was hanging by her hands. The only reason they couldn’t see her was because it was still dawn and they were hidden under the leaves of the trees.

“Bill I just have a sense that someone is watching us. I just have that instinct feeling. You know?”

Sally had started to cry and had tears streaming down her face. Will gave her a glance, telling her that if she blew it they would be headed for the fires too.

“I just heard something again. Didn’t you?” The skinny one shook his head. “Bill you must be deaf. It was loud and clear, a sniffle of a child. Wanna bet that there is a witch around here hiding her baby? I can sense.”

“Pete would you relax? Don’t you already feel sorry for the people we’ve killed and lives we’ve destroyed.”

“Nope. Each person I kill, the happier I become.” The children were frozen with terror by this point. There was a little reassurance the skinny guy would be able to talk Pete out of killing them, if they were found, but it sounded like once Pete wanted to kill you he was going to kill you.

“Close call,” mumbled Ketzal. Will still wasn’t satisfied that they were gone so he motioned for her to be silent. Finally after a while, Will spoke.
