152 Chapter 7. Hermit, More Children Come (1/2)

Demos was relaxing on a simple wooden chair by his little farm he was half asleep Lois was by his side also asleep. Alanis and Alexia had gone into the forest to hunt.

Then He opened his eyes to see a group of children, and Demos frowned they were in rags.

There was four of them.

A boy the oldest looked about eight years old he was trembling while holding a knife. He had blood stains on them.

The other three two boys and one girl seemed to be about a year or two older then Alanis and Alexia. They looked frightened, the girl with tears in their eyes.

”We're Back!” Demos heard Alanis and Alexia yell as they jumped from the trees an into Demos' arms. They didn't notice the other four children.

The older boy calmed down somewhat at the newcomers who seemed younger than them.

However, Alanis and Alexia became somewhat hostile when they saw his knife was pointed Demos.

”You four come here” Demos beckoned still in his chair. None of them moved for a while, but, it was the girl who made the first steps toward Demos, slowly and nervously. The other three still didn't make a move.

Demos patted the young girls' heads ”You must have been through a lot” he continued to pat her head. The young girl eventually stopped trembling as she looked at Demos with her. The little people used their magic and cleaned the little girl right up, surprising her.

The little people brought over some clothes, which Demos quickly had her change out of her old ones. Afterword's he lightly tied her long brown hair back, so it wasn't in her face.

Seeing that she wasn't harmed and not only that was cleaned and given clothes the other three walked over as well abet nervous.

Demos promptly did the same thing to the other three he watched their eyes sparkle.

”What are your names?” Demos asked

The four looked at each other having no answer.

”We don't have any names, and we are slaves.” The older boy said
