NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Cyra wore her clothes, she was in a happy mood, she opened the tent, ''haa....blue skies, white clouds...oh what the hell am I saying. the black and white scenery dampened her mood a bit. when she thought about the food here she cursed under her breath ''Sheesh somebody can't just imagine.''
Zane walked up to her with his usual calm face.
''Time to train,'' he said in a flat tone, not meeting her eyes, still shaken from before. She wants to seduce him not to traumatize him. She has to take it slow. now she has to focus on training.
Zane stood in front of her with outstretched hands. ''land a hit on me.'' his face was serious. she became serious also and rushed to him in a boxing stance, she punched out trying to land a hit on his side, but he sidestepped and she hit the air. She tried again, but the same thing happened, she was already sweating from releasing so many hits without landing a single hit on him. he was not even sweating or stressed, he just stood there watching her calmly.
she rested her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath, her hands felt heavy, and she just looked at him with tired eyes.
''You are worse than I thought.'' his gaze was flat, without any emotion. Cyra didn't have the strength to banter with him, she lay down on the floor trying to regain her strength. why is she even trying so hard again? Mm, it's to be strong and not rely on him again. answering her question, she regained her strength and stood up trying to go at it again.
"This won't do. follow me I will take you somewhere.'' he walked forward, expecting her to follow, reaching the car, cyra got curious about where they were going. she asked but he ignored her; in his mind, he tried to formulate the best training plan for her.
picking up the compass, he followed the arrow pointing north. Cyra settled down and tried to save her energy. they passed through rows of sand, she didn't bother to look; everywhere was just black sand and occasional rocks they passed by.
four hours later, Cyra was woken up by Zane, she rubbed her blurry eyes and looked in front of her, and she trembled unconsciously when she saw the creepy sight in front of her.
In front of them were huge withered black trees, lined up in rows making everywhere dark and gloomy, that looked like something straight out of a horror movie, she could see green mist above them and hear shrieks of unknown creatures coming from within. And she was just at the entrance, she looked at Zane wondering whether she had offended him in any way and it was payback time. there is no way she is going in here.
Zane watched her move back, her face filled with rejection. he did not bother with her small movements but introduced her to her surroundings.
''This is the north oasis. and we will train in the outer part.'' Cyra paused in her tracks when she heard that. wait so this is her way out of here. she dug her heels into the sand and looked at the forest in front of her with a determined gaze. no matter what I have to leave this place. she swallowed steeling her nerves on what was to come.
Zane strolled in with a calm unhurried step, he walked in as if strolling into his garden and not the most feared oasis in the desolate lands. he had been here but something kept stopping him from going to the other side...
''from here on out, be careful,'' as he just finished his sentence, Cyra saw him dodge a web which created a hole in the tree. Cyra gulped from fear as she broke out in cold sweat. she looked in front of her trying to see the creature that attacked them.
''snap!'' sounds of broken branches and huge shadows was seen.
''well, we are fucked...'' Cyra muttered out loud when she saw the creature with ten creepy eyes looking at her, she saw those eyes around them and knew they were surrounded.
