Chapter 6

Devika’s POV

“P-pay for it?! You shouldn’t have given it!" I shouted. “And you even waited for me to eat it before telling me!" I added.

“You did not ask though." he taunted while smirking.

“Heh! I will not pay for this!" I said and started to eat the bread again.

“Like it or not, you’ll pay for it!" he said.

“There’s no way I will!" I snorted back.

“You will!" he said.

“No way!"

“Yes, way!"

We continued arguing until Saimon stopped us.

“U-uhmm..." he shyly said.

“WHAT?!" we shout in sync to Saimon.

“I just want to inform you guys that Mädchen is already sleepi-" he did not finish what he was going to say because of something that hit Cyrus's head. Oh, it’s a bag. Someone threw a bag at Cyrus. We are all surprised by what just happened.

“Ouchh..." Cyrus silently wailed. I laugh out loud because of what happened to Cyrus. He wrinkled his brows the looked at Saimon, then to me, he scans the cave to see who threw the bag at him. While I was busy laughing, something hard hit my head.

“OUCH!" I shouted. “What’s that? Who threw it?!" I shouted again. It really hurts! It feels like it’s about to bleed! I pick the thing that hit my head.

“Eh? A stone?!” I quietly said. What the heck, a stone hit my head?! I immediately check my head if it is bleeding. It’s not, but I don’t know if I can be happy or not, it can turn into internal hemorrhage!

“WHO THREW THIS TO ME?!" Cyrus said belligerently.

“Heh! Me!" said the voice that coming from Saimon’s back. Because it’s dark inside the cave, we can’t see it. The lights coming from the plants and the fire is not enough to distinguish the person behind Saimon.

“Who the hell are you?!" Cyrus asked. Saimon stood up from his seat and took a piece of wood with fire from our campfire to use as a torch. He then googled it to where the voice came from. Who did we see? Rory, we saw Rory.

“Hi! Hahaha," he said, mocking us.

“Oh! It’s only you." I said.

“Why did you throw this to me?!" he angrily said.

“Because you are all so noisy! Me and Mädchen already having our rest! We still have a long journey tomorrow." Rory answered.

“Right! That’s why we should take our rest too. You guys can talk about that bread tomorrow.” Saimon agreed.

We both sigh and followed what Saimon said. They have their point, it is already midnight. We still have a long journey tomorrow.

“Wait!” I said with a tone of suspiciousness in my voice. It caught the attention of the guys again.

“Why is that you threw a rock at me while it was only a bag to Cyrus, Rory?” I snarled.

“Heh! I just randomly just picked things to throw, and that is what I picked. Sorry, hahaha” he teasingly answered.

Both Cyrus and Saimon laughed at what Rory said. There are so many things here that he can throw at me, and he picked a rock! It hurts, like hell you know!

“Your head is nothing but an empty shell, so there is nothing to worry about,” Rory said, trying to piss me. I am actually going to react to what he said and bite the bait, but Cyrus suddenly speaks.

“I will now go to sleep, airhead. So please, shut your mouth.” He said.

“Iing! Whatever!" I mumbled. Arghh! These people are indeed getting on my nerves! They kept on calling me names! Of course, except for Saimon.

I turned my back at them. Look for a good spot, lie down and try to sleep. The three men do the same. I try and try so hard to find my sleep, but no matter how tired I am, I can’t sleep, I feel restless. Hay... maybe because I am not in my house. I miss my soft mattress and pillows. I miss my bed... huhuhu.

I tried different positions to find where I am comfortable. But no matter what position I do, it’s no use. I still can’t sleep. I sat down in frustration. I saw Saimon still awake and reading a book.

“Eh Saimon." I silently called him.

“Hmm?" he answered.

“Why are you still up? Aren’t you tired?" I asked him.

“I’m still not sleepy yet, that’s why I am reading instead." He said while smiling.

“How about you? Why are you still not sleeping yet? I thought you're tired?“ he asked.

“Hay... just like you, I can’t sleep too," I answered him. I glanced at the wholeness of the cave, until I my gazes at the other three. They are already deep in their slumber. They look so cute when they're sleeping, If only they can always just sleep hihihi.

“But we need strength to continue our journey tomorrow to the Land of D-Da... Da...“ I said while trying to remember the name of the Land were going to.

“Da...?“ Saimon asked.

“Da! Ahah! Hahaha! Never mind, don’t think about it hahaha“ I said while feeling my cheeks hot red in shame.

“Okay Saimon, I’m off to sleep now.“ I tiredly said while yawning.

“Okay Devika, I’ll take my sleep too.“ He said while smiling. This what I like about Saimon, he always smiles.

Narrator: Devika is deep in her slumber when the dream that she had appeared once again.

“Devika...! Devika...!"

Called by the tiny voice, it was as if si far but I can still hear it.

“Wait! Whose voice are those I am hearing?!" I asked myself.

“Why can’t I move my body?" I said to myself again.

My body seems to paralyze, I also can’t speak in my mouth. I can only speak with my mind. What the heck is happening?!

“Devika! Devika!" the voice seems like getting louder.

“Wait! The voices are slowly getting near!" I said to myself once again.
