TWO ALPHAS

I was able to gather the herbs that Mrs. Button needed and now I was making my way back to my territory. I was scared that I took too long, but I still had two days left. I didn't know if Draven's men would start looking for him, and that scared me. What if they managed to get past her and open the door? I closed my eyes and tried to force myself to think happy thoughts. I had to have faith that everything was going to be okay. She told me that she could keep them sealed and I believed her. I had to put my trust in my people and that's exactly what I was going to do. I smiled and started to run as I saw the sign come into view. I had finally made it home and I couldn't be happier. I saw a few women picking fruit and I smiled at them. They waved back but I could see the fear in their eyes. Did something happen? Why were they afraid?
