63 Mutation and the Future *

Lachlan wanted Sarah to feel safe around him, but he couldn't blame her for being shy, he was away for most of her life.

He observed the other children around Sarah, there were 8 of them including Sarah, two of which also seemed to be hiding their bodies. Lachlan decided it would be best to analyse them all, especially Sarah.

Indeed, it was just as Lachlan thought, there were unique people now, or from the description, it's likely that it's only children so far. It was pitiful, these children would likely either be used by their parents or abandoned, being called monsters.

Although Lachlan wasn't certain about it, that was just human nature. To be afraid of the unknown, to seek survival.

Lachlan started walking over, the children had been frightened, covering themselves entirely. Once he made his way there he decided to not just rip the blanket from them but try to take a calmer approach.

"Hey Sarah, it's me remember, your older brother Lachlan" Lachlan squatted down, reaching a closer height level with the children, making himself look less intimidating.

"It's okay, don't be scared I'm here to protect you, trust me, come on out Sarah" Lachlan used a different voice, softer.

The children slightly lifted up the blanket to look at Lachlan, with Sarah staring right at him.

After a little bit, she finally had enough courage, slowly crawling out from under the blanket and away from her group.

She made her way towards Lachlan, slowly walking over.

Once she reached him Lachlan held out his arms, giving Sarah a big hug. She cried, everything was too much for her and now all she had was her older brother.

Seeing what was happening caused some of the younger children to make their way over, Lachlan hugged the entire bunch, and just like Sarah, they all began to cry. They tried to act tough and keep it in, but they were still children.

Lachlan couldn't help but think about it, these children were all incredibly young. If there were some parents who have abandoned their children Lachlan decided, he would help the children, give their life a purpose.

Lachlan wasn't sure where he wanted to go, he could either join the military and become an important figure due to his strength. But he could just as easily go solo and create a legend on his own. Possibly go back to the island, continue to train and make his way towards the centre of the island.

'Maybe I could do two things at once. Go solo and create an organisation whose whole purpose is to protect these children, give them the comfort their parents won't' Lachlan knew now what he wanted to do.

He needed others, people he could trust to follow along with him and he knew just the right people, if they agreed.
