Kara scoffed as she said, "Look Maxine, our brothers do everything for our good. You know that too. They taught us how to skin animals and cook, didn't they? They are giving us responsibilities too. They have experienced what the world has to offer more than us. They can decide what to do better than us too. So stop whining."

Maxine groaned as he said with a tired expression, "You people are no fun at all."

Kara smiled softly to his statement.

--------------------------------

Arnold listened to what Ethan said. He then sighed softly and said, "So that cloth you tied up is full of food?"

Ethan nodded weakly.

Arnold said, "Okay."

Ethan waited for more from Arnold. After all, he had just committed murder.

After getting no whatsoever scolding or even a remark from Arnold, Ethan said weakly, "Are you angry at me...?"

Arnold smiled softly as he said, "Angry? Why?"

Ethan said with a smile, "You know why."

Arnold chuckled at that and said, "So what if you committed a murder? It makes absolutely no difference to me. As long as we get more food from this method, I don't mind killing a few people."

Ethan was shocked as he looked at his little brother. He suddenly felt that he was very grown up, and felt lucky to have a brother like him.

"But, don't be so reckless next time. Humans are given a brain for a reason you know? Use it, plan your attacks, and kill people properly. Today you got lucky and survived with only a minor injury, but you may not always be so lucky. Never leave anything to chance.", Arnold said.

Ethan chuckled. He nodded, indicating that he would do what he said.

Arnold then got up in an awkward fashion by taking support from the floor as his leg was broken, and called Maxine and Kara inside.

Arnold looked at them both and said, "Which one of you doesn't really mind human dead bodies?"

Both Maxine and Kara looked at their brother with blank shock as they did not get what he was trying to indicate. They thought that they misheard him.

Arnold smiled helplessly and repeated himself, "Which one of you doesn't mind skinning human bodies for meat?"

Both Kara and Maxine knew that they heard their brother right this time. Maxine stuttered with a quivering body, "Human bodies? B- But why?"

Arnold smiled and said, "Ah. I didn't tell you did I? Your big brother Ethan commited some murders, but forgot to skin their bodies. I would do it for him, but as you see, my leg is not in it's best position right now. I can't crawl and limp till there can I?"

Both Kara and Maxine looked at their brother with widened eyes when he said murder.

Kara said while stuttering, "M- murder? B- But why?!"

Arnold said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Why? For food of course."
