Chapter 287 - Whos fault? (2/2)

The whole time Van had remained silent and was shaking.

”Hey, are you alright Van?” Bliss asked

Over the last few days before being transported. Bliss had gotten to know Van. He was a nice person who seemed like he would never even hurt a fly. She wondered how on earth everyone had gone along with calling this person a freak in the first place.

And right now, he looked like a young boy frightened.

”This, it's all my fault, I'm the reason why everyone's here.”

”Stop it.” Bliss said, ”People are listening and we don't want them to make you a target, besides stop saying those ridiculous things.”

Van decided to not say anymore but deep down he truly felt like it was his fault. Even if he didn't use any magic, it was clear that the others were after him.

”I think it's best if we stay put.” Flynn said, ”They always say in those survival books if you are lost it's best to stay in one area.”

”Maybe that isn't the best idea.” Bliss interrupted. ”That might be the case if we knew where we were but we don't. It is highly unluckily that even Roland don't know where we are. I don't think help will come, we're on our own with this one.”

The students started to talk amongst themselves, and then rumour started to spread. Where they really in the shadow continent?

”Professor I think the girls right.” Blake added, ”We need to find the others and get out of here.”

Flynn didn't know what to do, he had only recently become a professor that year and suddenly all this pressure was put on his shoulders. In the end, he decided it was best to take the advice of the other two.

”Alright, everyone get ready to move out, we'll mark the ground so we know where we are. We will slowly search out and come back here as our base. In each direction, we'll travel a certain amount of distance before coming back to the base and chose a new direction.” Flynn explained. ”The magic circle can't have teleported us far away from the others, so they should be nearby.”

Although Blake sounded confident, he was deep in his own mind, his body too was shaking and his mind was filled with a single thought.

”It's my fault that everyone is here.”
