Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Beck gave her the knife he had succeeded in taking from one of the tribesmen while she gave him; her shackle, it only means one thing, she wants the fight to stop. The leader of the tribesmen that was fighting with Beck looked at her.

Stop the fighting, he saves my life, he is not an invader. She said in their language, Beck and Alexia just look at them. Welcome the guest.

What did she say? Alexia ask Beck, and he shrugged.

You should care for them, I will be back. She said as she make her way out, and the next thing, a basket was thrown over their faces. Nothing else was heard, Beck and Alexia were guided by the men, and before their face was covered Beck saw that the man's eyes were getting darker and full of terror, so as soon as the princess left, he blindfold them with the basket and rope tied on their hands.

At least, they were fair enough not to hurt them, just maybe because of the princess, whatever she had told them, is the reason they are not hurting them.

Do you know where they are taking us? Alexia asked Beck.

I don't know. Beck said, the murmur was getting strong, to Beck and Alexia, it was murmuring but they are communicating, when the basket was thrown off their face, they were visited by more tribespeople, male, female, and children they are complete family, the only difference is that Beck and Alexia's skin is fairer.

The first thing the leader did was to put them in a cage.

What is going on? Alexia asked Beck.

I don't know, let's wait and see.

Hey!!! Alexia yelled at one of the tribespeople, she turned and throw something like pin at her and fall slowly on Beck's shoulder, Beck sighed as he watch her slump, he is sure, they put her to sleep, and he waited patiently for Alexia to wake up and then hoping that the princess should come fast.

He is aware that, if these tribespeople trusts someone they will not harm the person but while the leader locked them up is one thing he doesn't understand.

After hours of watching Alexia, she finally open her eyes, he hugged her, and he couldn't blink because he was scared for their safety and Alexia was very important to him.

Hey, you are up. Beck run his hand on her head and neck.

Why are they moving? Why aren't they...

Shh! He try to keep her shut, as one of the tribeswomen walked towards them with a leaf carrying food.

I want to go home. Alexia yelled in midst of tears.

Here, this is your last meal. The tribeswoman speak in a language, Beck's eyes bulge out, and he was surprised that the young lady was able to speak a language that he could understand. Which means they are from the legendary tiger tribe

Why? He asked

You will become sacrificed early tomorrow, so eat more. Beck's eyes bulge and his face is filled of worried, Alexia grabbed his hand, as the woman climbed down from the supposed steps that they have created to climb into the cage.

Hey, do you understand her language? Alexia said, he gave her a slight nod.

According to my observation, the language belongs to the Polynesian language, but I am not sure if all of them speak the same language.

What did she say? Alexia asks, he looks at her. Come on tell me.

She said they are going to sacrifice us tomorrow.

What does that mean? Alexia asks, Beck looks at her.

It means we are going to be killed.

Hey you, come here. Alexia yelled at the girl

No! I don't want to die. Alexia cry, while Beck circle his hand around her shoulder and pulled her into a hug.

Don't worry, you and I will get out of here, I promise, I am going to make sure, that I bring you home safe and it's a good thing that I could understand someone here, so whatever they say we could understand it, it will be easier to communicate with them. He caresses her face, to keep her calm, and she just nodded.

What is going on here? A voice from behind the crowd, Beck couldn't understand that one language, so he just sits and watches the tribespeople part creating space at the middle, making the person visible, he is with his wife and a lady, which is the one they met before.

They all bow, which means he is the tribal chief. He gestures for them to open the cage, Alexia looks at Beck as the leader makes his way to the cage.

Hope they are not going to kill us right now. Beck looked at Alexia her tears didn't stop, the only time, her tears stopped is when she was put to sleep.

Shh! They are not going to kill us, here, look over there, that is the lady from earlier. Beck pointed at her and they could see that they are arguing the next thing, the chief slapped his hand on the leader's face as he was seized by other tribesmen.

It only means he disobeys the order of the princess and deserves punishment. Beck was still not sure of the situation at hand but he is sure that things will get brighter since the princess is there and the man who had imprisoned them, is now In that cage, they were in earlier. The tribal chief, walk closer to them, he places one of the ball fists to his open hand and bows a bit, Beck bows, and gestures for them to say thank you while pointing to his daughter and smiling at her, Beck too smiled at him.

He gestures for them introducing them to his family, he points at the elderly woman and then the young lady beside them. What are they saying? Alexia ask.

Probably introducing us to his family. Alexia nodded as she too gave them a sweet smile, the chief smile brightening as small as Alexia smile as well, as Alexia and Beck were shown around the settlement, they enjoyed the view, in the evening, they all seat around the fire, Alexia pushed Beck to ask the girl from earlier what is going on, since they are dancing round the fire and blowing honk that they have made from their precious stones to create music.

What is going on? Beck asked the girl, who could understand him.

Oh, dancing, we dance when serving dinner, this is what we do whenever we have distinguished guests, to welcome them.

Oh! Beck said, Alexia, looked at him. She said they are welcoming us.

Okay, it's lovely. Alexia said clapping as well.

Some villains invade our territory and kill many of our tribesmen, that is the reason, the security is very tight. The girl added.

The princess brought some jewelry for Alexia; the princess falls in love with Alexia at first sight, it's like her skin attracted the princess to Alexia.

This is lovely! Alexia said as she smiled at the dancing and lovely sight before them, although some breasts are not well covered with the leaf it's.

What is going on here and who are this people?
