Argument and Tribal Choosing

“He left, Slandead!” Lilo says with a sigh and sits down. Slandead walks out of the cave and walks over to Lilo. “I like the way you handled that. Who was that? Did you actually not know him, or did you lie to make him leave?” Slandead asks Lilo with really curious. Lilo walked away Slandead with her head down. “Don’t you walk away from a warrior when they are talking to you!” Slandead snapped at Lilo. Lilo stopped and looked at Slandead angrily. “You know what? Stay out of my business. Leave me alone!!!” Lilo snapped back at Slandead. She looked at her surprised. Lilo started crying and ran home to her brother.

She ran in the house and turn back to human. Her brother looked at her confused. She ran upstairs to her room. She changes into different clothing and wipes away her tears. “Sista’? Ye okay or do ye need to talk?” Shendaman yells upstairs. “I’m okay. I’ll be down in a bit!” Lilo yelled back down beyond her door. “Well, hurry. We are gonna miss your brother’s Tribe choosing!!” An older man yells upstairs. Lilo sighs and heads downstairs. “I’m ready, sir.” Lilo said in a sad tone. “Stay together and let no one judge your choice. Are you okay, dear Lil’?” The old man asks. “I… I’m fine. Let’s get going before he’s late like I was.” Lilo said with a heavy sigh. “Remember sista’, stay with your Tribe.” The Shendaman said.

“Yes, sir.” She said jokingly with a smile. Lilo opened the door, Shendaman and her left to the center of the town where all 4 Leaders sit. They got there and saw all 4 leaders sitting there. Lilo bowed. Bloody Scar waved her to go on. She stood up and walked over to the left and center. Lilo sat up toward the front of the Tribe because she was known as a pup in her Tribe. The other pups played around with the other pups.

There was Rose Gard, father of many Rose family, also Leader of the Newly seen, Night Runners. There’s Bloody Scar, father to his daughter, Blood Tail, and Leader of the Cave Dwellers. There’s also, Singing Lite, Leader of the Meadow Shades. Finally, there is Leather Roo, Leader of the Mountain Sliders.

All the others came and sat down in their assigned spot. Shendaman sat in the center of the circle. The pups start bugging Lilo to come play. “No. I am gonna watch this happen this time.” Lilo told the other pups. “Silence, dear children of the Tribes!!” Bloody Scar said loudly. Everyone went silent and watch him. “We are gathered here today for a special day that, this little one shall remember for all his life.” Leather Roo said as she stood up. Rose Gard and Singing Lite stood up as well. “Stand, dear child. Pick which Tribe you shall join.” Rose Gard said as he set his sword down on the table. Leather Roo set her whip and daggers down. Bloody Scar set his Finger Claws down and Singing Lite set her bow and Arrow down. Shendaman stood up and chose Singing Lite’s Bow and Arrow. “He has chosen the path to follow. The path he shall follow now is the Meadow Shade Tribe!” Bloody Scar exclaimed. “Glad to have you in the Tribe.” Singing Lite said as she shook Shendaman’s hand everyone cheered. “Now, everyone may go home for the night.” Singing Lite said. Everyone dispersed, leaving Lilo and Shendaman alone.

They both left without saying a word. They got home and Lilo growled. “What is ye pro’lem?” Shendaman asks Lilo. “You choose Meadow Shade Tribe of Cave Dwellers. THAT is my problem. Now, we are enemies.” Lilo said as she stormed off upstairs and into her room. She closes the door and leans against the door. “Ali, why? You were my boyfriend and now you’re not.” Lil said as tears rolled down her cheeks. She starts crying as she looks at a picture of Alincar before he was turned into a vampire and they had to break up because of the rules and the consequences if they were caught together at all. Shendaman leans on the outside of the door and eavesdrop on Lilo. Oh. That’s why she was crying earlier. She lost her boyfriend. Shendaman thought to himself.

He knocked on Lilo’s door. “Hey, sista’? May I come in and talk to ye?” He asked. Lilo stood and opened the door. “Sure. C… Come on in. I am sorry about me saying that we are now enemies. Can we be frenemies?” Lilo says as she wipes away the tears. “Sure. We can be frenemies. Who’s that on the shelf?” Shendaman asks. “Oh, him? That’s Alincar, before he was turned into a Vampire.” Lilo says as she grabs the picture and hugs it. “Aren’t ye and him boyfriend and girlfriend?” He asks. “No. Because of a certain rule stating that no Blood Hound and no Vampire shall be together at all. It’s a stupid rule.” Lilo says as she grabs a thick book and opens it up to page 3,528. “I have to get busy reading. I have 2,472 more pages to read. You’ll have to get up early like I do, maybe. See you tomorrow.” Lilo says. “Bye. Thanks for talking.” Shendaman says as he leaves her room.
