My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 898

"You're right!" Rainie replied, excited. "If we get arrested, we'll ask them to send us back. We won't need to look for help elsewhere."

That didn't sound like a bad idea to us. So, we basked in that satisfaction for the moment.

We then began to discuss how we could get a hold of the authorities.

We were in a rural area, near the forest, so we didn't know if there was a police station nearby.

Dahlia didn't want to have anything to do with our plan because of her beliefs, so she excluded herself from our discussion.

Tina and Naomi were eager, however. "We'll both know what to do!"

When evening came, Tina and Naomi broke into a house, taking their things.

When the two came back with fruits, they thought that the villagers would call for the police.

It was a presumptuous thought. They thought us desperate outsiders that needed the supplies. Though they were angry, they sympathized.

Thus, no authorities were alerted, leaving Tina and Naomi speechless at the outcome. In the end, they gave everything back.

Upon their return however, the villagers tried to make us keep the stolen items. In the few days to come, we tried many ways to offend the people in the village in hopes that they would call the police.

In the end, not only did they not call the police, they even brought us their own food.

Living in the mountains, most people relied on nature to make a living. They knew they'd farm and labor on their whole lives. They knew nothing about the world beyond the mountains.
