Tai moved from hut to hut with Tulula in finding the rest of the villagers, they've already found over 24 women and children that Tulula has sent to where Lo and the others are waiting.
" something about these parasites seem to want to go after the male sex " Tai said to Tulula as they searched each hut for any children, they then watched each of the infected going inside one of the huts that was so packed that they were crawling over top one another with some kind of fluid that was covering all of them.
" it looks like a sticky substance...no they are fusing into one organism" Tai said as she pulls Tulula closer to her.
" where do you keep your oils at we need to burn them up and set that cave on fire" Tai said as she watched for anymore to go into the hut, when she seen the man they tied up on the ground crawling like an inch worm into the hut.
Tai kept watching for a while when movement beside that hut from an animal pin, a injured woman crawled out when she had a bloody arm and leg she collapsed beside the pin with a couple children crawl out beside her.
" lets move on the side to grab them up, I'll help you to the forest with them and then I'll spread the oil over the village, we'll get the cave last" Tai said as they slowly made their way over around the hut, they were a few of the infected moving toward that location.
They managed to hide in some bushes before they were seen, when Tai went to leave both women grabbed her and Tulula smacked the other woman's hand which made her laugh at the others antics.
" Tulula why are you acting childish, I'm already broke off from our ways for being with women, or do you like her" the other woman said with an obvious hurt in her voice.
" that is of no concern to you " Tulula said as she pulls Tai over to her then points to a large wooden shed, she then pulls Tai closer to the treeline of the village then points toward the side of the cliff on the other side of the village.
" there is the oil and that is the cave, I'll help you with dousing the huts then the cave " Tulula said while she looks back to the others, Mace gives her a saddened look.
" Tulula please talk her out of it and let's leave" Mace said as she is helped up to her feet, Tai gives them the directions to where the others are.
" tell my companion that she is to stay with you until we return ok " Tai said as she walks away from them with Tulula.
