Humiliation

Becks POV

"Hey hey there stop crying Becks. We did what needed to be done and that's it. As long as we know that our concern was heard, that's all that matters." Austin says to me while giving me hugs

"I just felt so humiliated like everyone ganged up on us. How can I be the next Grand Chieftess and everyone still treats me like how they did today?' I say upset

"Don't worry about it. They won't act like that when they see Isaiah. Once he comes back no one will say anything like that not even Jee." he says reassuring

That's one of the only reasons why I chose Isaiah. Actually that is the only reason why I chose him over Jee. Hands down if Jee was the next leader I would have chosen him. I love Jee but I need to make sure I have authority so that I can have power. I need to protect myself. We walk outside to get ready for dinner.

"Do you think Violet will accept other males now or would it be too soon?" I hear one of the males ask

"She is perfect. She has helped out so much. I haven't seen any of the females here contribute as much as she did. I hope that she will give others a chance or opportunity to be with her. If I could, I would." another male says

I walk up to Mary and sit next to her.

"What's wrong Mary? Why do you look so sad?" I ask her

"I'm just a bit sad. I was thinking of having Turk as my main male but it looks like that won't happen anytime soon." she says back to me sadly

"Why not? You guys were meant to be together. We always thought that would happen since you guys were best of friends and did everything together all your life. What changed?" I ask her concerned

"Turk is interested and only interested in Violet now. That's all he ever talks about is Violet. She is one lucky female to have all these males interested in her." she says back to me

"Don't worry. You guys are meant to be. Things will work out." I say back to her confidently

"I don't think so. What do I bring to this tribe? In days she brought fire, cooked fish and gathered baskets that have proven to be helpful. What can I do to beat that?" she asks

"You are a smart female, you will think of something and don't forget you are a female. We are everything. You have plenty of other beasts in the kingdom to choose from. Don't just commit to just one." I say back to her

"You are right. Maybe I need to just find something I am good at." she says back

"Mary, you are perfect in your own way. None of us females had to think of trying to be good at anything till she came here. I don't know why or what she is trying to prove. Do you think she has some real motive?" I asked concerned

"You know what, we don't even know where she came from. What if she is a spy?" he asks me

"That's true! We should keep an eye on her. We don't want her to steal our strong males and take them away so that our tribe is vulnerable. Don't you think it's convenient for her to run into out of all the males in this area, Jee?" I ask her

"Exactly! I love Turk and I want him as my male. I should have him and not her, who is a stranger that we don't know about. If it wasn't for her I would have had him already. I just took too long to decide this. But now I know I want to choose him." she says back to me angry

Great! I don't even have to do much; she can do it on her own. Violet took Jee away from me and I want him back! Only I can love him the way he wants. Only I know how he wants to be loved. No one else can replace me and if I can't get him no one can have Jee.

Violet's POV

I am glad we got everything settled and I feel very helpful having everyone contribute to the tribe. At least they will be able to make their own food more and stay warm during the winter season. I'll ask Jee later about the weather. For now I need to work on upgrading a few things in the house and my new clothes.

"Hey Violet I saw a few things earlier when you brought them back on your little adventure. What is that?" he asks and points at the I think mermaid skin I found.

"I am not too sure but it's so beautiful. I found a few of them when I was walking back." I say to him

"May I see it?" he asks concerned

"Sure. Is this okay? I just thought someone left these there so I didn't think they would want it anymore. It looks like they were sitting there by the tree for a while." I say back to him

"A tree huh? Did you see anyone there or any camp nearby?" he asks

"Not that I know of. I did see a few fish bones but that's it." I say back to him

"Fish bones? I suggest never going in that direction again. We are lucky that the beast wasn't in the area anymore he would have definitely taken you." he says back to me concerned

"I am sorry Jee. It won't happen again. But can I still use the skin for clothes it's so pretty?" I ask him

"Sure. These beasts don't tend to stay on land that long. So they won't be coming back to this area anytime soon. We are too far from the ocean for them to do so." he says back to me

"Which beast is this?" I ask

"From what I have hunted before one time we were scouting towards the ocean looking for a spot where we could live. Salt water is good for us since there are a lot of growing plants and food nearby. But we ran into a few of these skins there too and I saw above they were mermaids. Thankfully we also saw them luring other beasts. Once the beasts came closer they ambushed them and took everything they had. Better than us. We were lucky. Since then we haven't gone back." he says back to me

"Noted. I won't go by that area again." I say back to him reassuring

"It's not much to worry about. They can't stay far from the ocean water they need it to live." he says back to me

"Perfect! I want to make new clothes with these then." I say back to him happily
