Chapter 98 : He’s in Bad Shape

“If you’re here for food, why didn’t you ask?” I called down to the sad group.

“You think we’re stupid? It’s not like you would just give it to us. We know that you’re bloodthirsty leeches!” the crying boy’s mother shouted.

I closed the window and looked at Soren.

“Mila…”

“They’re hungry. We have the food.”

“You can’t go out there.”

“Watch me!”

I hurried out of the room and down to the kitchens. It wasn’t much, but I grabbed some loaves of bread.

Through the walls, I heard the women shouting at me.

“I knew it! I knew it!

“You selfish, greedy freak!”

“You’re hoarding it all to yourself!”

When I opened the front door, they all stopped talking. I went to the kids and tore off chunks of bread, passing them out. They stopped crying immediately when they took bread from me and quickly started chewing on it.

Soon, the air was filled with the sound of munching and crunching from the hard crust of the bread.

I made sure each child got some, ignoring the adults.

“Take it slow. If you’re too hungry, eating fast will make you sick,” I warned.

The boy that started all the crying blushed when I patted his head.

All the adults were dead silent, staring at me as I checked on the children. Even if they wanted to hurt me, I was in no danger. They were too shocked and awed to do anything to me.

Soren came out onto the lawn. I was a little surprised he hadn’t rushed out right after me.

The women closest to him trembled and cowered away from him.

“My apologies,” he said, nodding his head to the crowd. “Had we known that you’d run out of food, we would have acted sooner. I have my men preparing soup now. Come inside and eat. With everyone here, we can recalculate how much food is left and daily rations to make sure it lasts as long as possible.”

Soren held his arm out toward the pack house door.

Murmurs went through the crowd and I saw the way they looked at each other. They were suspicious, like we were inviting them into a trap of some kind.

None of them said anything. They stared at Soren and they stared at me. I understood their reluctance to accept our help but I hoped they would, for the sake of the kids.
