"Make it stop," Pierre whimpered quietly, so only Oliver could hear. Since they were closer to the ringmaster than most, he was afraid to be heard. Oliver just petted Pierre's head, hugging him extremely close.
"No, don't take it Teddren." If it wasn't surprising enough, it was Lauren who spoke. "Sir, let me take it. I deserve it more than anyone else here. Please, just hurt me instead, just- Don't hurt them.
Take me, kill me if you have to. Just leave them alone."
Maria wasn't giving in yet. "Let me take it all. I can take it all, I can fight it off. I'm much less useful to you than these two. What'll lifting stuff up do?
"Whoa," Oliver whispered, eyes widening. The little fire had long burned out, and Pierre could do nothing but get much closer to become warm. Maria C. was gaping, eyes wide already.
"Whoa indeed."
"That's right," Oliver said coldly. "In case you forgot, Teddren, Pierre, and I have been taking the worst while you guys get off easy. Pierre lost an eye. An eye! If anything, why haven't we died? You guys loathe us so much you want us dead? Yeah, have fun with that. Good luck with no advice on how to stick through this."
Pierre nodded, glaring at those around him. "Oui, Je suis d'accord avec Oliver. Nous devrions essayer de rester là. Peut-être que nous pouvons sortir si nous restons ensemble." (Yes, I do agree with Oliver. We should try to stick around. Maybe we can get out if we stick together.)
"Pierre, you're-"
"I understand."
