Chapter 260: The Abduction
"What do we do?" Keira whispered as Zach quickly moved her behind his back. If her estimation was correct, ten tribesmen were surrounding them. They were armed with pole weapons such as spears and long-ranged ones, like bows and arrows.
They were talking to each other, but Zach and Keira could not understand anything since they were talking in their own language. Zach and Keira had their knives ready for defense.
"I think we can take them all," Keira whispered. She was confident because both of them, especially Zach, were well trained for battle, whereas these indigenous men were not.
"No, we must not start a fight. We don’t know how many men there are exactly," Zach whispered back as he observed their surroundings. Tall trees and bushes were everywhere, so it was hard to tell if more men were hiding in them.
Meanwhile, Keira wasn’t sure how to feel about the whole situation. Of course, she was nervous and petrified, but she was also distracted by the sight of the tribesmen that surrounded them. They were all naked, wearing only a belt made with vines in which they put their short-ranged weapons, like knives.Their phallus were parading before her eyes and would also jiggle whenever the men moved.
She was a little bit shocked to see an entirely nude tribe like this. All the tribal groups she had seen on television or read in books at least had something covering their private parts.
She didn’t know where to look, and it made her feel uncomfortable. So Keira decided to just keep her eyes on her husband’s back, as much as possible.
It looked like the men were arguing because they were talking to each other with a raised voice. Then one of the men whistled loudly.
She saw her husband gesture at them, trying to tell them that they were not bad people, and they would not bring them any harm. One of the men seemed to be angry, so Keira suggested, "I don’t think they want to understand us. We should just fight them and try to escape. The island is big enough, I’m sure we can hide somewhere from them."
Keira was starting to get a little bit of panic. She was, by now, pretty convinced that this tribal group was dangerous. So far, they seemed unfriendly. There was also a language barrier which made it nearly impossible to communicate with them and try to make them understand that they were not there to intrude their peace.
Zach understood his wife’s reasoning. He definitely could bring these ten men down by himself, but again, he was not sure if they were the only ones there. And any kind of bold move would put Keira at risk, and she was the only thing in his life that he could not afford to gamble.
But before they could even do anything, an arrow fell not far from them.
