Chapter 38

Pete's P.O.V

I kept walking for hours and still couldn't cover half on the ground. I was slowly getting exhausted, my body was yet to recover from the nasty fall I had from the bridge. at some point overcame with exhaustion I laid on a tree and passed out. The next thing I know, I was poked awake

"what.." I snapped at the intruder who disturbed me while I was sleeping, but on opening my eyes what I saw had me shaking in my pants.

Soldiers, bulky, tall, and scowling soldiers. pointing their swords at me "who are you?" one of them asked maybe he was their leader

"I..I.."I sutured in fright

"speak" he commanded angrily

gulping down my fear I formed a sentence with my jumbled words "I'm Pete and I mean no harm, I'm just looking for my friends" I said and he frowned at me

"There are more of you?" he asked raising his right eyebrow in question. I nodded staring at the deadly weapon he was pointing at my face
