The three of them walked casually towards the city. Anyone who happened to be passing by would just think that an Egyptian girl was taking a stroll with her slaves. However, if it had been anyone that knew Gillia and her family she might have been in trouble.
Everyone who knew Gillia and her family knew that they did NOT believe in slavery and had none of thier own. This was considered very strange and her and her family were often looked down upon because of it. By the time they had reached the city, the sun had set and the dark clouds were taking over the sky. They headed over to Gillia's house.
"Gillia?" called a familiar voice.
"Father!" cried Gillia in delight.
"Rea, is that you?" Said Gillia's father as he embraced her.
"Yes" said Rea meekly.
"My we haven't seen you since the double work order for slaves was set in motion." said Gillia's father.
"Not to mention the cut of water rations," offered Codian.
"Yes, that to," laughed her father.
"We're not here for idle chat," said Rea. "We're here on important business."
"Is that so?" said Gillia's father turning back to his work. "What's the important business?"
"Moses visited the pharoh agian and if you don't get everything of value in it's all going to be destroyed in a giant hailstorm!" said Rea. She had to stop to take a few quick breaths before she was able to continue. "We'll help you anyway we can sir," she said.
"Oh bother that Moses fellow what does he have agianst the pharoh? or the Egyptians for that matter, Jina, Corlia come here my darlings." called her father.
"Yes father what is it?" At the door stood a tall girl with short black hair and glittery brown eyes. An older woman came to the window, she looked alot like the younger girl only older.
"What is it Zirian?" the woman said tiredly.
"Hurry take the horses in, I'll take care of the rest of the harvest, hurry!" Zirian turned away as if to hide his worry.
"We can still help," offered Rea.
"No, go home, I don't want you two to be outside when his storm hits," said Gillia's father.
"It's okay, the hail can't hurt us," said Codian almost smugly. "Hush" hissed Rea. "May God bless you!" called Rea with a wave. Gillia and her father did not return the blessing.
