Half-Clothed Amazons?!? – Page 2

“Hatway uoyay antway ithway ouryay agbay?” (What do you want with your bag?) She asked.

While Noah tried to talk his way into getting his bag, Katie and Laura were about to stumble upon the Amazon village. “What’s that noise?” Katie asked.

“What noise? My darling’s in there, we must save him!” Laura started to dash in.

“No! I’ve got a better way. Here, eat this.” Katie said, handing Laura a grapefruit. She ate it, and was back to normal.

“Thanks, I needed that. What’s your plan?”

“First, let’s tell Adam.”

“No time, just tell me the plan.”

“Okay. It’s a long shot, but…” And Katie continued to tell Laura the plan. They looked around the camp and saw a way to infiltrate it. They took off their clothes, and donned themselves with leaves from the nearby area. Messing up each other’s hair and making themselves look like the natives, they put their clothes in their bags, and hid them.

Entering the camp Laura said, “Noah’s going to pay for this.”

“How do you think I feel?” Katie responded.

“Well, he’d better not be doing anything he shouldn’t be.”

A native walked up to Laura and said, “Howay ouyay?” (Who you?)

“I don’t understand her.” Laura told Katie.

“I think I do, let me try.” Katie replied. “Eway ryingtay otay indfay anmay.” (We trying to find man.)

“Ouyay an’tcay avehay imhay. Ehay elongsbay erehay.” (You can’t have him. He belongs here.)

“Ehay elongsbay otay erhay.” (He belongs to her.)

“Erhay?” (Her?)

“Esyay, erhay.” (Yes, her.)

“Hentay hesay ustmay ogay otay ailjay.” (Then she must go to jail.)

“Oops. Sorry Aunt Laura, but I think they’re going to throw you in jail.”

“What?!? Jail! What did you tell him?!”

“That Noah belonged to you.”

“Tell them that he is my husband.”

“Anmay erhay usbandhay.” (Man her husband.) Katie said.

“Anmay heif’scay usbandhay.” (Man chief’s husband.)

“I think that Noah has married their chief, or that is what this one said.” Katie told Laura.

“If I ever get my hands on that no good…”

“Save your strength, here come the guards.” Katie replied.

“Ancay I eesay hetay heifcay?” (Can I see the chief?)

“Onay. Hetay heifcay ithway anmay.” (No. The chief with man.) With that, Laura and Katie were taken to the jail where they were stripped of their clothes and belongings, an thrown in a pit.

“Ellohay?” (Hello) Katie called. No answer.

“Those native female beasts. At least they could have left us our clothes.” Laura stated.

“English?” A voice said. “Is that English I hear?”

“Hello? Is anyone there?” Katie called.

“Yes, who are you?”
