Chapter 6: Rats on the verge

Lake knew now that these people loved him for saving their village. If he was to just try and leave they would all beg him to stay, so he needed to give them time to repay him and readjust to him being gone. "Now that I've brought you my idea I must get back to my home." Lake grabbed his cornbread they had brought him and started to leave when Sam ran out and grabbed onto his ankle. "You can't leave now, what if the rats are still out there?" Continue reading on No_veLbIn

Lake had hoped more people had come to stop him. But he knew Sam and him had become very close, and Sam probably saw him as a cool older brother. "You're right I should wait for a while, Why don't you show me around town." This would let Lake possibly use his new ability while seeing the rest of the town, maybe they'll have something he needed.

Hearing that Lake knew this was a bribe, Wallace was saying with this they were even, and he could take credit for Lake's ideas. Lake would take what he could get. Wallace had caught him at a vulnerable time, Lake desperately needed any form of weapon.

Going inside Lake was flabbergasted by the amount of corn, bags of dried corn as far as the eye could see. " Why is there so much?" While looking proud, Sam said. "Ever since my dad came up with Scarerats, to scare the rats away our harvests have become too big for the cart to bring to town, so it's been piling up." Lake was startled by this, Scarerats was such a dumb name. " Is that why your dads the mayor?"

Leading Lake to a smaller room on the left Sam said " Yeah when we moved here my dad was just an inventor, but after he built the prototype that's out in the field, everyone was so surprised at how well it worked that they all voted for him during the election even though he didn't run. But he said once he's sure the Scarerat works right he's going to build a factory in this town and start selling them to other farmers."

One of Lake's fears was becoming more likely with every second that passed, wiping the sweat from his brow he asked, " Are the Scarerats for any other pest or do they only work on rats?" The two of them had just arrived at a tool room. Sam turned and motioned to the tools and said. " These are what they used to kill rats before the Scarerat. You can take one if you want it. But what do you mean by other pests?" Lake was quaking in his shoes as he said "You know, like ones that can fly." Sam had a blank look on his face as he said, " Do you mean dragons?"
