I dismissed Tabitha from my mind the instant Elder Zu started with the training. I was going to confront her with questions later.
But right now, I needed to focus on the goal which was— surviving.
That was the key thing now.
“You.”
Elder Zu let out.
I arched my brows, looking around to check who it was but was startled when I saw everyone looking at me.
“M-me?”
I stuttered. “Yes, you! Why are you holding a sword that way?”
He questioned, with an alarmed look on his face. Immediately, I looked down to the sword in my hands. It was bent down to the floor, like I was nervous and scared of this entire thing.
And I was.
Gosh I really was…
What if I didn’t make it? What if died too, like those girls?
But I had to be strong. For mum, for Moses and lastly, for Piper…
“Sorry sire!”
I exclaimed, correcting myself that instant and bowing in respect to him. Elder Zu rubbed his dark and grey moustache, looking at me closely. His face wore a stern look.
