Chapter 47 : A weird thing
The scenery was already giving them chills and now those unidentified voices which can't be of a normal person.
" There's someone behind the walls? ", It was just a hunch but they felt as if something was really there. Can't be a ghost, right?
" How would I know? let's go check it out ", She said but then he have her the suspicious gaze.
And here she was thinking of helping him but looks like he didn't wanted her help..." Ahh! only if you want to. If you are not afraid of staying alone, sure...stay here as you wish ", She said in cold tone and grabbed her sword from the ground.
The voice come from behind the walls or maybe around there...
Jammy joined her in no time as he didn't wanted to stay alone.
The voice just brush past and when they both walk to that place, there was nothing on the sight.
They both look around and still...found no sign of anything alive on the sight.
" I heard some voices or it was just my imagination? ", Jammy flustered in confusion.
But how can it be an illusion when Aranya also heard the noise? there surely was something.
" Let's just go back, it's late ", Said Aranya was head back to the original location.
There were two tents that jammy built. One for him while another was for her.
And since he was the only one to sleep through the night, it was a waste that he set up another camp.
" Good night then.. ", Said Jammy as he get inside the tent and cover the front.
He didn't even give her a chance to say anything in return and left already. Not like it matter anyway...
Aranya just shake her head and let him do whatever he wanted.
Jammy was carefree and all, because it was her who was with him the whole time.
He know already how skillful and good she was in fighting. And that was the simple reason why he left her alone...
Even if something was too happen, he was sure she would take care of everything.
Or maybe wake him and asked for the help. Oops! that was impossible....
Right now, it's was Aranya only and the horse on some distance, having its good.
The fire was lit and making her feel warm in that cold night.
She really want to wake jammy at this moment and beat him hard. It was cold outside that all her body hair were standing straight. But that guy...he didn't even gave her single blanket to use and let her shiver like a wet chicken in the night...
So heartless....
" Once it's daytime, I will make sure you feel the hell...", She mumbled.
Her hands were always around her arms at this moment and trying to find some more warmth.
Her nose was literally running...
She then get and sit where the fire was lit and warm. The night was really cold and dark that it was giving her chills. But more so...she didn't know what to do to get this cold sensation out of her body.
She sit there like a soulless body, but moving and even her breathing was shallow.
More so, she had a special talent in her.
If there was to be a living human being to appeare before her now and have his rank and strength below her, she would sense him without any difficult.
She was someone who could senses others and know if anyone maybe following her or not, it was something that only high ranking practitioners or the ones with greater rank had the ability to do.
She was bless child anyway....
It was hard, hard to wait for the sun to appeared again and make her wish come true. Afterall there were more seven hours left before the sun could rise.
Till now, she had only heard about silent city in rumours and seen and read in the books.
Before she was five, she used to read books all days and stay with her parents and brother. Those days were the most beautiful days of her life when her family was alive and she was receiving all the love in the world.
But how come she was so foolish to not understand the difference between reality and fantasy?
How come she forget that reality was harder and painful than what she always thought?
On both her lives, she remained as stubborn and ignorant child. Never received the family love in first life and always live like a orphan who mean nothing to the world.
She thought the second life was going to be the most happiest of her life.
But then the reality hit her hard. Losing both parents and brother made her feel she was unworthy of thing called Love and there's no such a thing left in the world for her.
She then choose a path which was right for her. A path which would not lead her to the love or affection, but hatred and revenge only...
On the day she lose her family, she swear to herself to revenge them who made her like that...
And now...here she was, in the silent city. A city owned by her enemies.
Even though her family was killed and murder by werewolves. But not a whole kind was her enemy, only those who deserve to die and the ones involve in the whole matter were her enemies.
She would not spared anyone who was involved in that matter.
She was making her body warn by sitting in front the fire when suddenly...some noises again started to rise in the dark.
Aranya look around jammy's tent and realised how heavy type of sleeper he was. And that there was no used waking him up in this situation as he would do nothing or be useful.
She decided to see what was behind the walls and get up emigetly. Following the noise she get to the place from the voice emerged a while ago.
But when she come there, there was nothing or no one just like earlier when she come looking there.
" What's happening? I heard noises but there's nothing here? it's a voice of leaves fall and getting churn on ", She asked herself if she was belong delusional or what.
The behind the walls was totally clear and clean, nothing suspicious was there.
It made her think and doubt if she was seeing things as she was still awake and tired from the journey.
But last time, it was jammy as well who heard those voices along with her, so how could it be delusional.
" Am I too tired that I am seeing things now? ", She asked herself again and turn behind to go back.
But then again...the strange and unfamiliar voice started to come and run again.
" Sssskkkk...".
" Hahahaha...".
This time she was little shocked. Along with the leaves sliding voice, there was a voice of a child laughing in that silent and scary place.
" Are child's voice? here? how is that possible...".
The voice was coming from the front from where she was standing. The voice remained on the same place until she didn't decided to followed after.
At this moment, she had started believe on the content written in the book.
It was true that she was hoping for it be a simple lie.
But...it was a world where everything was possible, science and magic hold the same powered...
" Hahahaha! what are you doing there....come...come here...follow me ".
Again, it was a child's voice but she was enable to sense any living being there at that time.
She wondered, little scared plus way too curious.
She look at the tent again and decided to followed after the voice and see what was going on and who was the child scaring her on purpose.
She had the old type lighter on her, the one used in the historical time with wooden construction.
She take out the lighter and lit it, then she started followed the voice.
Now, the more she was following, the distance the voice was becoming. And she...she was trying to get as close as possible to thay voice.
She was hopping for her that kid to appeare soon but it was not happening.
Along with the chase, she was getting distance from jammy and their staying location. And was moving to a more isolated and scary place.
She didn't realised it before and now she was going to as her whole focus was on finding the boy who was mocking her...
Soon...a weird place arrived before her. A location she stand on, started to fill with purple shining butterflies in the air as well as the ground.
the butterflies were appearing from the ground and flying around her. It was a beautiful scene but odd at the same time.
She get it that everything was weird here but exactly what she was enable to find out.
Just when she started to feel the scenery was good, the invisible child spoke again.
" Hahahaha...another prey ".
