Chapter 20

Cyra got up after a while, the sky already darkened, it made everywhere so dark that she couldn't see her way back if not from the gleams of light shining from the base. she walked back slowly, her thoughts chewing themselves out; she was still haunted by her blank memories. Her head was pounding painfully, why is her mind blank? what happened? The blood....

''Ahaaa.......'' she screamed into the night, releasing all her bent-up emotions into the night sky. She felt herself relax. whatever it may be, she will find out one day, no need to stress her brain cells. first, she has to master her strengths and survival skills. Zane can't keep saving her; her fingers clenched in firm determination.

''hiss'' She freed her palm immediately, feeling pain. her stomach groaned, but when she remembered the food there she lost her appetite. maybe she should eat a little of the beast meat, at least it would be a small dose of poison.

But when her brain came back online she knew that even a little poison could kill her over time, she shook her head, wiping those thoughts from her mind. She sighed resigning herself to her fate of gooey tree sap. She didn't know that dose of poison would be what she would survive on from time to come.

she reached where her tent, seeing it clean and looking new, she was happy that she could kiss Zane's tempting mouth. no no, it's the happiness she feels but that lips...she clears her throat blushing from the nose bleeding thoughts flashing through her mind. how would he look without clothes on, while she slides her hand down his body?

''cyra! snap out of it.'' she patted her face. immediately she laid down she slept off.

''why is she alive, didn't you do shat I asked of you. I want her out of my sight!'' a woman hidden in the shadows snarled in anger for this woman's failure. ''I allow you to get enough food, but my one request you can't fulfill it.'' her eyes were murderous as she looked at the leader of maneater's careless behavior.

''do you think because I let you in, I can also wipe you out. I don't have the time or energy to hunt you down. so don't freaking! Push me!'' she grabbed the woman's neck, and the woman finally showed a trace of fear.

''Get out of my sight.'' she threw her down,

''cough. cough... I will not fail you the next time we attack.'' she knelt and said in a shaking tone; she felt hatred in her heart, but she hid it well.

''you strike ten years.'' by that time she would have those things ready, she thought these words in her heart. a smile stretched on her lips. just a little while. I will get the ultimate power and no one will stand in my way.

but the other women thought she was waiting for the male to produce more people. one day she will eat this woman. I will eat her alive as she begs for her life. she thought ominously, she smiled widely thinking of that day. both, each with their thoughts.

....

Cyra woke up the next day, she laid there lazy to get up. She looked at her injury and saw the knife wound on her palm, its blood red and swollen, and left a long scar. She looked a it hoping it would jug her memories but nothing she still came up blank. ha.. she has to get up and train with Zane.

she was about to put on her clothes when she heard someone hitting the floor, she looked back and met Zane's red face, sprawled on the floor, he pointed at her in shock upon seeing her naked body. she was stunned for a second, then a mischievous idea flashed through her mind. She stood up slowly, her bare skin glittering under the lights. Zane lay there stunned, he gulped, his heart beating fast when he saw her walking slowly toward him.

he felt something warm hit his hands and wiped it and saw his blood. he was having a nosebleed. he held his nose and scrambled out of the tent.

''ahahaha...'' Cyra laughed loudly at his fleeing back, she felt refreshed, but a little disappointed that she was not able to take advantage of him.
