Semua Bab Into the Unknown: Bab 41 - Bab 50

 I start to walk towards them while they look at me still confuse as to who I am. I am still wearing that mask and to what I am wearing no wonder anyone of them can recognize that it is me. They just look at me as I walk towards them and stop just in front of them. “Long time no see guys, what’s up?” I said changing my voice a little bit. They all look at one anothe

 I wake up upon hearing someone calling my name and some knockings. I immediately sit up just to sigh in disappointment. I thought that I will wake up to see that I am in the ground surrounded with grasses just like what I usually wake up to at Evetora, that ME returning home is just a dream. BUT, I wake up to see my room in our apartment. I’m so worried now about Vlash. What have happened to him right when I disappeared? He is alone in that place and he is badly injured all because of me. If I hadn’t been captured, if I am stronger enough to help him and if.... if he didn’t use himself as my cushion when we fell, he wouldn’t be so gravely injured. How can I get back? I have to get back as soon as possible. I need to see if he is fine and so is the others.

 I open my eyes just to close it again. When I feel that painful aching in my eyes disappear I slowly open it just to see that I am on a slightly dark cave. I sigh in relief seeing that it is the same to the cave where I left Vlash. I look around me but I see no Vlash. I look at myself to see that I am still wearing my black off shoulder dress paired with my black knee high boots and brown leather jacket that is covering my holster belt. I raise my hand to see that foreign rolled brown leather skin like paper. I unrolled it just to see the map of the Forbidden Land. “I- I have to find Vlash.” I suddenly utter after rolling the map again.

 I feel as tired as I walk beside Vlash silently. I can still feel how he keeps glancing at me. We stop for some time to rest and eat then we just silently continue walking. The silence is killing me but I don’t know how to create a conversation with Vlash. I don’t know how he will react if I did. “You are oddly silent. What is on your mind Riri?” I am surprise when Vlash suddenly speaks making me stop and look at him. “I- I don’t kn

 I smile and look at him. I can hear the silence as if even the ‘hisets’ wants to hear my answer. “At first yes, like you I don’t want to become a third wheeler errrr someone who will destroy their lovely relationship. I feel nothing now...... not to him at least.” I said as I look at Vlash and see him confusedly looking at me. “What do you mean?&r

 Vlash look at me just to face the monster again. He immediately takes off his robe and handed it to me. I take it and wrap it around my body as Vlash run towards the approaching monster to face it. “Gosh! Can we have a day without facing enemies or danger? I feel so tired.” I utter in frustration as I hold Vlash’ robe and stand on the side as I watch how Vlash fight that monster. 

 When he moves his face back giving us space I look at him still in daze. He slowly let me stand straight as he looks at my face with his unpainted expression but I am relieved to see that it is not an expression of guilt or regret. When he let me go I am about fall since I feel like all my strength are drained from me luckily he immediately hold me right on my waist again. “Are- Are you okay?” he asks acting as coy as he looks at me concerned.

 “So your dear mother NEVER told you about me? How she made me into like THIS.” Demonica said as we hear that certain anger and pain from her words. “I am not related to any dark person. Do not dare you use my mother’s face to confuse us.” Leo utters as he holds his sword tightly as we look at Demonica who just laugh upon hearing that.   I look at Lana then to Vlash who is now standing beside me

 “How about.... her, him or him? Hmnnn, which among you have the tastiest soul?” Demonica said as she points from Flora to Leo then to Wei. “Why did you show those to us? Do- Do you want to people to know? Or do you want Queen Veronica to ask for forgiveness?” Flora asks and everyone become so silence. 

 “Let them go!” screams Leo and together with Vlash they are about to attack Demonica just to be blocked by Demonica’s followers. “Ahhha, which among these two ladies the one you value the most, my dearest Leo?” Demonica said in satisfaction as she looks at both Lana and Flora who are struggling from Demonica’s hand that is covered with black light.
