Refuge house 2

Albert sighed. He was quite amazed the way these refugees were acting. All of them minding their own business.

It was not normal. His secondary weapon was hidden in the clothes. It was small dagger. Almost all team members picked small daggers as their second weapons.

Albert walked between the row of beds. Numbers were mentioned to allot each refugee bed.

Few of them were playing some sort of indoor games. Some of them resting. The meal was nearly ready. Four to five people went to help in setting the meal on tables.

This refuge house was pretty clean and the people were not offensive apparently. They were working organized. For Albert it was easy to notice the movements of the people around.

A person stood up from his bed and walked toward the table intentionally walking near Albert. It was by chance or the intention of the person that he elbowed Albert.

Albert slightly moved. He was known as the most cool player in the server. No one could suddenly make him on fire. His actions were calculative whenever facing new crudes*

Albert creased his brows slightly and looked at the man. The person did not seem care what he did intentionally. He was keeping eyes at Albert when he entered and walked in the refuge house.

"Are you blind? Can\'t you see me here?" The man spoke annoyed. Albert might have ignored but for a moment he felt the enemy intent. Albert came here just now while the man seemed his enemy from ages.

"Let me pull your eyes and see because you were the one bothering my walk." Albert firmly glared in his eyes. He was able to know that this person must have something to do with the card.

He was hidden enemy. Albert was his target in this refuge house. The person might have used the dagger but another man came interrupting.

"Both of you can go on your table and stop this nonsense here. All others are peaceful, if you tried to create ruckus you will be the first one to die." The civilian strictly warned.

His warning worked and the man left for his table. Albert also walked. Now he was hundred percent sure that this man was up to something bad. He decided to keep strict eyes at him. Unfortunately the man sat at the second table near Albert. It was according to their assigned table slots.

The plates were filled with two to three dishes and the people started eating. They gossiped how they ventured in the forest and the rain ruined their task. Some of them talking how the civilians of the refuge house were acting dummy and many more conversations were going on.

The man sneaked at the table where Albert was sitting. The faces were opposite to each other. It would be tough to act suddenly if one of them attacked at the other.

Albert was worried for similar reason. Suddenly he hit the idea. The plates were made of reflecting material. Albert thought to use it to see the actions of the enemy.

When everyone got busy in the meal. The enemy sneaked at Albert. It looked like Albert was engrossed in eating the meal. The enemy found this chance and suddenly attacked with the dagger. He nearly reached at the back when Albert moved at the fastest pace and his dagger pierced the chest of the enemy.

People sitting on the different tables ran away from them. The enemy fell on the ground with a thud. Albert looked around to see who else wanted to attack him.

Silence prevailed. A civilian came running. He was responsible to take care matters in this refuge house. The man looked at the blood dripping dagger. He might have scolded Albert but for now he did not.

"You are aggressive. You will be sent to another refuge house. Follow me and handover this dagger." The man demanded the dagger.

Albert remained silent for a moment. He spoke, "What if another refugee tried to sneak attack? Do you take security of my life?" Albert asked. There was not single hint of annoyance in his tone.

The civilian twitched. "Alright keep the dagger because your next refuge house will be living hell. Then this dagger would be your companion." The civilian indifferently spoke.

Albert cleaned the dagger with the clothes of the dead enemy and followed behind civilian.

Other refugees heaved sigh of relief. They wanted to live peacefully yet the new member seemed aggressive.

When Albert left they ignored the dead person and started eating again. The civilian sent Albert in another refuge house. Junan was already here. He was delaying the battle because the people in this refuge house were unwilling to let him stay here.

They seemed brutal and stoic. He was sure that once the battle began the civilians would leave and he will be surrounded by the enemies.

Some verbal conversation was going on when Albert stepped inside the refuge house. Junan happened to see and got surprised. At least now he could feel at ease among the enemies.

Albert also gestured silently. He was thankful to the civilian for bringing him here.

....

Few days ago a group of refugees went to gather woods. They happened to notice something shining in the forest. The clouds made the sky turn black and the rain drenched the group.

They might have shuddered to death due to intense cold but the warmth of the card kept them. When they returned they decided to dig soil and hid the card.

There was a written paper near the card that did not get spoiled with the rain. Through the paper they came to know that few snatchers would come to snatch this card.

So the group of refugees decided to kill them whenever they appeared. They were able to know when the snatchers came in the refuge houses.. With the time the group members were sent in various refuge house however they did not forget their task to kill the snatchers.
