CHAPTER 33: DIS-TRUST.

Awakened in a new world.

CHAPTER 33: Dis-Trust.

Mona was more than frustrated, the previous night she would see about 2 warriors on her way and with no problem passing them. But now that's she's with Nina and Linurk doubled security, things got even more difficult. Her stress level has been high all night long, not just that there had been many times where she almost got caught. It was so easy for her to sneak past them without being detected, but with Nina on the other hand it's different and confuses her.

Mona and Nina continued walking through the forest as quietly as they possible could, their head raised looking out for any other warriors and so far none.

*SIGH* Mona gave a sigh of relief,

They walked for a while with an awkward silence between them, either of them not saying a word. Mona was so focused on her destination she didn't notice Nina's glare at her from behind. Every turn Mona made she doubted inwardly, she was tired and frustrated and wished to speak out.

"This way straight ahead" Mona said and Nina snapped out of her thoughts,

"Are you sure?" Nina asked, doubting her.

Mona heard the tense mocking tone in her voice and turned around to face her, she couldn't see the expression on her face because it was dark.

"Are you doubting me?" Mona asked,

"Maybe I am" Nina said with her had folded to her chest.

Mona was hurt by her words, like a stab to the heart, as tears slowly formed beneath her eye lids. She struggled to keep it in and succeeded, she raises her hands and cleaned the tears beneath her eye lids.

"But....But.... I came all the way out here for y...." Nina cuts in, knowing what she would say,

"Don't give me that, you just want to see the god, so don't make sound as if you came here for me, cause we both know you didn't

" She said.

Mona hands shook seeing Nina foreign attitude towards her, she always knew Nina had a dark side, but she never knew the anger was because of her.

"Is that what you think?" Mona asked,

"Do you really think I don't care, do you think I don't care about you. You wanted assurance that your father is alright, and I brought you out here" she said,

Nina was still fuming with rage did not say a word,

"Do you not trust me? I thought we were friends" Mona said, sad, in disbelief that Nina would turn against her like this after everything she's done.

"If you were my friend, you wouldn't have brought the idea of us coming here in the first place" Nina said.

Mona was saddened by her words, Nina words hurt her for than anything.

"If you didn't want to come in the first place then why didn't you say something, i wouldn't force you here, you know that don't you" she said with a sad tone in her voice, she felt like going home as well. It was all too much for her, the fact that the one who she thought was her best friend didn't trust her, or maybe never trusted her.

"Why did you agree to come?" Mona asked,

"Because that's what best friends do" Nina yells and her voice echoed through the quiet forest.

Then she sighs.

"I knew you were still going to go again this night and having you going all by yourself again, it's too risky That's why I followed" Nina said, but got no response from Mona.

"True i was worried about my father but not enough to do something this dangerous and crazy, I'm sure if Ridjurd was around you wouldn't have done something so reckless"

Nina quickly covered her mouth, hearing her blunt words and instantly began to regret,

Mona's dead brother is a very sensitive topic which she shouldn't have brought.

Meanwhile Mona stayed quiet as different thoughts flowed into her mind, she already started blamed herself for dragging Mona out, and was already regretting the decision to go further.

"I'm so......"

"You don't think I can take care of myself" Mona said,

"No... I"

Nina stammered wishing to take back her words,

"And worst of all, you don't trust me" Mona said,

Nina moved forward to Mona,

"Wait that's not I..." Mona cut's in on her.

"You think I'm selfish" Mona said stepping backwards from Nina and more tears formed in her eyes.

Droplets of tears rolled down Mona cheeks,

"And worst of all you decide to bring my brother into this, knowing full well how hurt I am" Mona said backing away from Nina,

"I didn't mean to......"

"Leave me, you are a terrible friend, and I wish i never met you" Mona yells and she turn ran with tears in her eyes.

Nina watched her run and quickly took to her heels and ran after her as fast as she could. She knew how sensitive Mona is about her brother and wishes to she could take back all she had said.

Nina past some burnt trees and from a distance she saw Mona standing completely still as if petrified in fear, she ran as fast as she could and caught up to her.

"Mona!!!" She called and ran out of the cover of the tree canopy and the glorious moonlight shone on her and her blonde hair shone brightly as she stood beside Mona, panting for air.
