Whilst our eyes were focused on the man he took the time to introduce himself as the owner of the house and the masked lady as his property. How can you own a person I said without really thinking.
The man laughed and interrupted his own laughter with the comment. you really think she's a person don't you? He said in a snarky condescending tone.
"You don't mean..." I said fading into a pause. The lady then took of her mask to reveal a half face of metal cogs and bolts.
Normally I would gasp at a situation like this but it did make sense with the way the world is at the moment..
The lady puts her mask back on and faced the man. The man then raised his hand quickly dismissing her from the room.
Pocket looked like he was putting on a brave face but I can tell he was scared.
The man looked at me with his narrow eyes. Young lady what is your name he said in a calm yet frightful way. I told him my name was copper lightwood.
The man sighs and said to us we all had to leave this village as soon a we can. Of course pocket and I both asked as to why that was but the man was silent and put his finger to his lips then pointed to the walls.
We both looked at the walls confused then we noticed something each wall had a small hardly noticeable hole in them the same size.
I looked closer at them and noticed a metallic eye looking back at us I felt something watching us the time we have been here but I didn't think it would be in the literal sense.
What are they I ? Asked hesitantly.
The man sighs and looks at me. He said they were calling hunters eyes they are the eyes of the infected the hunters had killed. He said they are used in all homes in this village as a method of finding out who is infected or doing something they shouldn't.
That's just cruel I said in a empathetic tone.
The man simply replied there dead they don't need them, which made me shiver with anger..
