Edward listens to Frank's terrifying story
It wasn't that hard to get out of the camp. The four men went through the back of their tent and to the other one, they continued this being extremely quiet, then climbing over the fence. Right now they were in the bar. Rory drank his sixth shot knocking back his head and swigging down the sharp spirit.
"Ok find one" said Frank looking around. Rory and Frank looked around looking for a woman. Edward and Billy just sat by the bar. Edward because he wasn't in the mood for someone to kiss his neck and Billy as his girl was at home and he was and still would be faithful to her.
"What about her?" asked Rory pointing at a tall woman with small blue eyes and brown hair that was cut short.
"Mmm, maybe" said Frank.
"I've got a question" said Rory.
"How comes you don't have much family?" asked Rory trying to get away from staring at girls, he wasn't a big fan of that. Frank didn't answer for quite a long time that Rory thought he had given up on the question all together.
"I guess it was the time" said Frank.
"Time?" asked Rory leaning forward as he was aware that Frank was going to lower his voice.
"The time was a perioud that our family has tried to forget" said Frank pausing. At this moment Edward ended the discussion he was having with Billy and listened, Billy listened aswell.
"Now don't get me wrong, this was ages ago sometime in the 19th century, but bad memories stick aswell as good ones". He stopped again looking at the expressions on the three men's faces. Then he continued.
"Our family had disagreements. Two brothers especially. At first it was just arguing, then they turned to violence. Each man rounded up men. And a war broke out. I have no clue of wich brother won, but what I do know is that he didnt stop there, he burned every house that supported his brother" once again Frank stopped he looked behind him where a conflict between two men was heating up.
"What of those that escaped?" asked Billy causing Frank to turn round.
"That's the most disgusting bit" said Frank. He braced himself. So did Edward.
"He sent out his men to find the lucky ones that escaped their houses. The men they found they would hack to death with blunt axes, the girls and women they found they would rape then kill and the boys they found they would torture and make as slaves, there were no survivours" Frank finished he glanced at all of their faces then returned to looking at the men by this time they were in a brawl.
"Not being funny, but why did you call it the time?" asked Rory. Billy and Edward stared at him as if to say 'shut the hell up'.
"Maybe because anything else would remind them" said Edward.
"Oh" said Rory nodding.
"Of course" he finished. The walk back was silent. Mainly because no one wanted to talk to Frank, and he to anyone else, Edward was always quiet, Billy was really missing his girl and Rory didn't finish his last shot.
