Chapter 19

Zane rode fast, creating a cloud of dust in the air, he felt uneasy and a sense of urgency. riding to the entrance, he found no guards but a smell of blood and an eerie silence filled the air.

He jumped out of his car without parking properly. And ran towards his tent, hoping that strange woman would be okay. reaching there he saw the torn tent and his heart sank. he walked in seeing battle scenes and the bodies on the floor, when he saw Cyra's body on the ground with dried-up blood on her body, he looked at her, his heart that was hanging, settled when he saw her rising chest.

his mind calmed, he now had the mind to access the situation before him, he saw two dead bodies and a diced-up soul beast that had a vacant space between its chest- empty of the core. then he looked at Cyra's unconscious body, his mind played back the scene of the wave and looked at her blood-stained body with a burning curiosity.

Zane didn't bother to care about the situation in the base, he dragged the dead bodies and buried them in the sands, and built back the tent, the area looked like the intense battle never happened.

After doing all this, he looked at the sleepy face which was relaxed and innocent, like she was not the cause of the previous deed. he frowned when he saw her stained body, he carried her in his hands and walked in the direction of the water.

carrying her into the water he had a sense of deja vu, he blushed when he saw the outlines of her body; now it was worse. One of her clothes hand had torn off completely, getting soaked by the water, her pale breast showed itself to him, and he was electrified when she turned, rubbing her pink nipple on his hands. his brain nearly turned to paste, and his heart beat fast in his eyes.

Zane didn't know how he washed her and came out of the stream. ''Mmm, what...'' Cyra let out in a small voice, feeling exhausted, but the next thing she knew

''bang''

Zane threw her to the ground and ran, cyra moaned in pain, she looked at his running back speechlessly. why did he throw her like that, she is not heavy at all.

''Ahaa...'' she cried out in pain when she felt the wound in her hand rubbing on the sand, it was as if lit on fire. she looked at her hand in confusion, how did she injure herself? She asked herself in horror, the last thing she remembered was when Dark swung her knife at her and the rest was blank. Maybe Zane saved her but why can't she remember anything. she seems to owe him more and more. even her body can't repay these debts, I will protect him with any chance I get and get him out of these desolate lands. she clenched her hand in a firm promise.

she tried to stand up but she was dead tired as if run over by a truck. She just gave up and looked up to the starless sky. She had a rare moment of loneliness and confusion. She was blank about her way forward but she wanted to get back to Solara kingdom even though she was scorned for having no soul beast at least she would leave there comfortably and peacefully. She lay there as the wind caressed her skin as she watched the starless sky; hoping for the day she would be able to return.

Zane felt he behaved cowardly why did he run out like that, but he still felt her warmth on his hands, it was as if he was scalded, his hand gripped his chest feeling he was befallen with a strange illness, why his heart beating like that.

Zane had never experienced it in his almost a million years of life. his eyes lit up, he had a strange idea, maybe if he got close to her, this illness would speed up and he could finally die. he knew not how his idea changed his life forever.
