Two days after the crew finished getting all the things they needed and making sure they got the plan right, Akineo called Fred and Curb in. Though they weren't the smartest people on earth they had more than enough loyalty to make up for that fault.
"Fred, Curb, my sisters and I will be leaving to do something very important and we need you to watch over our place. We don't know how long we'll be gone but I promise we'll be back, okay?" Akineo said trying to make it as simple as possible. Curb and Fred nodded, but Curb looked like he was on the verge of crying. Akineo forgot, Curb was sensitive as he wold sometimes defend. She always did wonder how he can kill people and protect them when it was hard for him to part with them for a few weeks.
Nukanah patted Curb on the back then said, "Alright let's get this trip going!" She grabbed her sack of important stuff and went forward, leading the way to the city. The plan was to get to the city where Ellibel's friends were and then plan out the rest of the plan. It was pretty much a plan-along-the-way plan. Akineo didn't agree too much with this but since they really don't know much about the Origians except that they were top ranked.
---Day they arrive---
The miscalculated the time it would take to get there, that and they had a few hardships along the was. They had planned to get there in 2 days but it took 3 days because Jacque decided to become a little boy and had a tantrum about being too tired. Then Edeed said she was starving and started eating along the way. Nukanah wondered where did all her fat went but didn't ask.
When they finally got there Ellibel had found out her friends moved to a different location. It took a few hours to find them but they did.
"Helga? Are you there?" Ellibel asked while knocking on the door. Nobody answered. She knocked harder. Finally the door opened but it was girl that looked about 13.
She stared at them up and down and asked "Who are you and what do you want?" Her voice was cold and mean.
"I'm looking for Helga. I knew her many years ago." Ellibel said. Nukanah, Nerak, Edeed, and Akineo kept behind her while Jacque kept behind them.
The girl hesitated before saying "How do I know you really know her? Describe her face."
"The last time I saw her she had long brown hair. She had hazel eyes and a scar on her left eyelid. One thing that's very memorable was a burn she had from escaping a wild fire. It was shaped almost like a paw and it was on her right cheek." Ellibel said thoughtfully.
The girl's expression softened a bit before saying, "She died."
