The Life of Erin Tribal

Chapter 4

At about noon, Erin woke up. She looked over and noticed Terra sleeping there. She didn't bother waking her and walked over to the door. It was slightly open, so Erin peeked her head out. A woman, Celes, was coming towards the room carrying a plate of food. Erin closed the door again, went over to her bed, and pretended to sleep again.

A slight knock on the door and it opened. Celes walked in, saw the two girls sleeping and sighed. She went over to a table, set down the plate, and walked over to Terra. She bent down, whispered something in her ear, then stood up again. She then walked over to Erin and did the same thing. A minute later, Erin woke up again, looked at Celes standing over by the table, then over at a still sleeping Terra.

Erin stood up, stretched out, and walked over to Celes. She looked at her, then at the food, and then back at Celes.

"What's up with her?" asked Erin in a whisper, looking at Celes.

"She's wiped out. She hasn't had much sleep for a few days so I'm giving her a break," explained Celes, looking at her daughter.

Erin looked back at Terra, then heard her stomach rumbling. Celes understood and pointed to the plate of food. Erin sat down and slowly started eating.

When she had finished, and Terra was still asleep, Erin stood back up, and went to go talk with her mom again.

"Umm, mom? I got this package earlier, addressed to my formal name. I have no idea what it is." stated Erin, looking hopefully at Celes

"Yes, that just arrived in the morning post. I figured it was for you, so before Kefka got word of it, I handed it to a soldier and had it delivered to you," explained Celes, looking back at Erin.

"Do you think it safe to open it?" asked Erin.

"Yes, I do," replied Celes.

They both walked over to the table and sat down. Terra stirred in her sleep. Erin looked at her, then back at the package. She started to open it. There was a closed box inside the other box. Erin opened that to find a single note.

"This will not be tolerated. Either you start training, or Kuja kills you. Take your choice. Kuja and I will be inspecting tomorrow, and I hope to see some muscle working on you.

And do not worry about Garnet. She is perfectly safe with Beatrix and Steiner while I take this trip.

Mother"

"Mom, I.. I think you should read this," stated Erin, handing Celes the note.
