saw them all last night during the rescue.  “Morning guys,” I
smile at them.
    They smile and nod.
    “Auzo?” The chief stands up
and stares at Auzo.
    “Um, see, Leila is here in the
event that we discuss the rescue of the Earth girls.  She can leave if you
want.”
    “No, I don’t want to leave,”
I pipe up.
    The chief looks at Auzo with
cold eyes.  Then he stares right into my eyes.  “You sure, Leila?”
    I stare back, “Yes, I am
sure.  As long as you guys are going to talk about the rescue, I’m staying.”
    “What if we don’t?” his voice
is ice old.
    “Then I’ll ask you to.”
    The chief looks at Auzo with
a tiny smirk, “Auzo, tell her the punishment for disobeying the chief.”
    Auzo hesitates for a few
moments and then mumbles, “Death.”
    “You hear that, Leila?” the
chief is staring harder.
    “Yes.”
    “Now I give you one last
chance.  Leave, or die.”
    “I’ll not leave.  The
girls may be dying.  I can’t leave them alone.” 
     
    Honestly, I don’t want to
die.  Now I have Auzo, my hero and prince.  I want to live with him and enjoy
life.  But there is no way I will step back from the death threatening.  I
promised the girls that I would look for help for them.  I will have to keep my
promise.
     
    The chief looks at me with a
tiny smile, “Don’t be silly, Leila.  The decision has been made.  And I’m not
going to change my mind.  Are you leaving?”
    I shake my head.
    “Then I will have to kill
you.”
    I swallow hard.  Gosh, I
didn’t realize it would come so quick.   I thought that this mean chief would
at least give me a chance to talk about the rescue.
    Auzo steps forward, “Zapo,
please—”
    The chief stops Auzo right
away with a stern look. 
    “Yes, chief,” Auzo lower his
head.
    The chief looks at me with a
weird grin, “Any final words?”
    I can hardly stand now.  But
I try my best.  Auzo come over and wraps his strong arm around my body. 
    “Thank you, Auzo,” I
whisper. 
    I take a deep breath to calm
down a bit.  “Look, the girls are dying.  Can you please save them?”
    “So you want to trade your
life for your friends’, huh?  Is that worthwhile?  You’re young and pretty. 
You should enjoy your life.”
    My whole body is shaking.  It’s
so hard to stand.  I would have dropped to the floor without Auzo holding my
body.  
    I blink my eyes hard but my
tears come out anyway.  They flow down my face like two tiny streams.  I don’t
want to show my fear of death to this mean chief.  But I just can’t help it.
    “Yeah, I love my life.   And
I love my man Auzo, too.  But I will never betray my friends.  It’s a promise I
made.  And I won’t regret keeping my promise, even if it’s with the price of my
life.” 
    I know this sounds kind of
silly, but my heart is full of justice.  There is no way that I will beg this
most dreadful, mean, and stupid chief for his mercy.
    “What if you die for
nothing?” the chief gives me a mean look.
    “What?” I’m so shocked.  I
look at him for a long time and then murmur, “You’re not going to save the girls?”
    “Why should I?  The
Galilatawrians are dangerous cannibals.  I can’t risk our men’s life for some
silly girls.”
     

     
    AUZO
    I’m so surprised that the
fucking asshole said that.  What the fuck is he talking about?  Killing my mate
and letting the girls die?
    What kind of chief is this?
    I regret that I’ve come
without my sword.  I could have killed this asshole with one swing.
    Yeah, I may die fighting the
other warriors in the tent.  But I die for my woman and for justice.  It’s a glorious
way for a warrior to die.
    “Zapo?” I raise my fist.  I’m
determined to protect Leila with my life.
    The chief asshole looks at
Leila with a tiny smile, “Any final words for your man?”
    Leila looks at me, her tears
pouring down her pretty cheeks.  “I love you, Auzo.  I’m sorry I can’t be with
you.  Bye, Auzo.”
    I kiss
