Chapter 5: ~Mixed test: Earth and Air (part 2)~
Amanda began to play with her fingers because of the nerves of what she wanted to say but when she looked behind the boy, her face was filled with horror.
-ETHAN !! .- she said pointing behind him.- BE CAREFUL !!! .....
The aforementioned only turned around to see what his partner was concerned about, leaving him speechless at what was in front of him.
-Amy .....- he said a little worried.
-Ethan .... we must .....
The girl could not finish speaking since the young man had taken her hand to run away from there.
- Ethan, we must reach the goal ...- Amy said looking back.
-Amy, I don't want you to be hurt by a simple ambition.- she answered smiling.- I promised you that I would protect you against any danger, even if it was any fool who tries to hurt you ...
A remorse was present within the young woman, causing her to loosen from the grip of hers with golden hair.
Ethan was confused by the sudden reaction of her friend, but when he saw that she turned to run towards where the danger was, he followed her to prevent her from committing a suicidal act.
-Amyyyy !!!, Nooooo !!! ..- he yelled desperate to see what his partner was about to do.
When the young woman heard that cry, she stopped and directed her gaze to hers, but only to dedicate a few words to understand the situation and her thoughts.
-I'm a hindrance to you! ... I'm not worth it! .- she said with tears in her eyes.- I don't deserve someone like you to be with me! ..... because you're so cute and chivalrous ....- he gave him a smile full of nostalgia.
The last thing was said in an inaudible whisper, which the young man could not hear, but no matter what he, he kept running towards her to keep her away from that danger that was gradually approaching her.
-Are you crazy ?! ..... ufff ...- he shouted a little agitated.- I lack ... ufff ... the air ...
Amanda only watched Ethan who was closer to her, but when she felt the stronger current of air, she only smiled one last time at the young man.
-Ethan ..... it was a pleasure meeting you ...- she said wiping her tears.
The wind drowned her words, announcing that the tornado was about to devour her, without more than saying she turned towards that whirlwind and let herself be carried away by its strength, while Ethan kept running to be able to arrive as fast as possible but the sand prevented it.
-Amy ....- he said a little concerned.- I saved you ....- his words were interrupted by the sand that entered his mouth.- yuck, wow, better stop talking. spitting out some sand.
He didn't have to wait long to get to the tornado that quickly devoured him, causing him to spin inside it.
The force was too much, causing each turn to make him nauseous, but the feeling of desperation to find her friend was greater so he decided to ignore that urge to vomit to start looking for her.
-Amyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!! .- she shouted .- (Ugg, god, please stop this torture) .- she thought.
Suddenly he could see a body that he could not identify but was unconscious, which was in the same situation as him, so he decided to look for something in the backpack that he had been given to approach him.
Removing inside that backpack he found various things that flew away, he had given up but when he saw that something had got stuck inside that he decided to remove it without importing it as long as it would help him to get out of that situation with her friend.
- (Ugg, how heavy is that man, giving away useless things like his words and cheap smiles from him) .- He thought as he tried to remove that object.
From a strong pull that object came out, but since it was the last one in the backpack he took it with force, but accidentally pressed a button that was in it, causing it to open. Without hesitation he clung to what looked like an umbrella, which propelled him out of the tornado, but remembering that body he became frustrated.
He wanted to go back in so he had to find another way to do it but when he looked around he noticed that his dear friend was in the sand passed out, he tried to find a way to get down as quickly as possible to help her even if she was several meters away ground.
- Shit, can't you go faster?.- He spoke to the umbrella while he kept falling like a feather.
The one with golden hair only looked for the fastest way to go down, looking in all directions, he found nothing, but when he raised his eyes to the umbrella and then looked at the button that was on the cane, a great idea was crossed his mind.
- I'm going to close it.- he mentioned with a big smile.- What's the worst that could happen?
Poor Ethan did what seemed most convenient and prudent to him, but when he felt that he was falling very fast, he began to be alarmed because of his bad decision.
- Ahhhhh !!!, that happens to me for not paying attention! .- He began to shout.- Please, God, I promise that I will be more attentive and that I will analyze things better, but please ... save me...!
His despair increased when he saw that he was a few meters away from touching the ground so he began to kick, but when he remembered that he was carrying the umbrella he began to laugh because of his nerves.
- What an idiot I am ...- he said that to try to open the umbrella.- I still have a chance to save me and Amy.
When he pressed the button on the umbrella, it opened, but the force was too great that he could not hold it and he slipped from his grip, causing the object to fly through the air.
-Shit !!! .- he began to sweat cold at that situation.- God I promise you that I will do whatever, but please help me to save that poor defenseless young woman.- he said to point at Amanda.
Seeing that he was about to reach the ground, he alone closed his eyes to wait for the blow that would make him lose that competition, that he foolishly felt at that time for being so impulsive.
.....
...
....
.....
Not feeling that blow for which he was already psychologically prepared to receive it, he decided to open his eyes, meeting the person who least expected to help them at that time.
-YOU?!.- Ethan asked.
-Calm kid, can't you see that you were about to split your head? .- he said smiling.- They are fools, wanting to be heroes ...
The one with golden hair does not believe it, that that man will catch him so as not to let him die in the attempt to save Amanda, well, that he could expect from someone who laughed at the participants when seeing them fail in the tests.
- Well, it's time for you to touch down and go to make sure that she is well.
-Hey, hmm.- He caught the older man's attention.- Thank you sir, if it weren't for you, who knows where I would be now.
-Quiet child, it is my duty to take care of you, even if you are silly.- he said laughing.- but leave this talk for later, it is better that you make sure she is well.
Ethan did not hesitate to obey the older man and turned around to start running towards where the unconscious girl was, and then began to move her delicately.
- Amy, wake up ...
....
- Amy, we have to get together .....
Seeing that it did not react, he decided to do what seemed most convenient, well, what seemed the best way to wake up someone unconscious, he was not a doctor but he had no doubts, so ... he lost trying, it was his last impossible resource that failed.
- AMYYYY !!!!! ....
She screamed in his ear as loud as she could, causing the aforementioned to get up in fright but having Ethan in front of her vision, she just pushed him.
-You're an idiot! You almost made me deaf.- she said and then hit him on the left arm.
- Auch, you're welcome, you don't have to thank me.- he said, rubbing his arm as he tried to smile.
Amanda got up from the sand and helped her friend up, that scene seemed very funny to the man in the suit, so much so that he began to laugh.
- What are you laughing at? .- She questioned him somewhat annoyed.- Do you find it funny to see two young people about to die from a tornado created in the middle of the desert ?.
- Haha, it is not my fault that you have a life that does not belong to you but you must endure since your sin that you were born with brought you here.
Those words had a great impact within the two young men, causing Ethan's characteristic smile to be completely erased, changing it to tears.
"Why does it hurt?"
.....
"Is it true?"
....
"Why was my smile changed to tears?"
.....
Ethan thought.
Amanda tried to erase all traces of tears that overflowed from the young blonde's cheeks, but it was impossible since his emeralds spilled more every time he cleaned them.
"Don't cry, it hurts to see you like this"
...
"It hurts me to see a boy like you, cry to let see that broken side ....."
.....
"SHOW ME THAT SO GENTILE SMILE THAT HELPED ME TO FACE MY FEARS"
....
Thought Amanda
An annoyed expression was present on the part of Amanda who only limited herself to hugging Ethan and leading him towards the goal, to be able to speak better with him.
- That man ... what does he think? .- Amanda said making an expression of disgust.- You are wonderful, with defects or without them .... if you sinned it does not matter we all make mistakes.
-Snif, Amy, leave it like that ...- she said trying to control her crying.
-Ethan, I can't let him erase that sweet smile.- she hugged him again.- I can't follow this test if you find yourself broken, you are the light that guides me and illuminates my heart, you are the complement of my life .
-Sniff, now, stop saying that because you're blushing.- he said trying to smile.
-Let's go Ethy, let's get over the last stage.- She spoke and then took her hand.- Remember that dreams don't come true alone.
- You're crazy woman, hehe.- I smile.- But hey, what do you do?
-Yeah, we are going to show that old man what we are capable of - he said to start jumping - that we are just inexperienced young people, it does not mean that we can not deal with the difficulties of life.
- I see that you are already understanding my point of view.- He mentioned to start laughing. "To give the test by fire hard!
With a big smile they got up from their places to start walking, but something made them go back, rather the presence of that woman who emitted an aura full of mystery.
-Well, well, I see that there were only 6 left from the penultimate test.- she mentioned with a sly smile plastered on her face.- haha ....
