-2 Chapter Sixteen (1/2)
*** Yna ***
My house.
”There it is.”
We walked to the door and knocked anxiously. We kept knocking until the door flew open. And there she was, stood in front of the door.
”Grandma, I'm back,” I said as I ran into her arms.
”Yna.”
”I am back grandma,” I muttered as I cried into her neck.
”Are you hurt, my dear? What did they do to you?” How did you escape?”
”I am fine, grandma. Nature healed me on our way here. Nyx helped me escape.”
My grandmother frowned, walked up to Nyx and punched him on the face. Fiercely.
”That is for betraying us,” she said then she gave him another punch.
”That's for the my son and grandchildren,” she shouted and gave him another hurtful blow.
”And that is for hurting my granddaughter.”
”Grandma, that's enough,” I chuckled. But it was obviously not enough for her because she punched him again.
Twice.
”And that was to make me feel better.”
”I understand you are mad. And I am very sorry but it is important that you put your hatred aside for now because we need to leave before my dad arrives with his men.”
”That's right, grandma. Where is aunt Laila we need to start packing now.”
”The stupid brat hung herself because she apparently couldn't take the pain any longer. If she kills herself because she lost 3 people, how does she expect me to feel? I lost everything, my husband, my children, their families and the only person living was in the arms of my enemies,” my grandmother ranted.
”Did she actually? Are you okay, grandma? It must have been hard for you? ”
”Don't worry about me, dear. Like you said earlier we need to pack. I will pack the food and water, you pack a few clothes for all of us and Nyx you pack some weapons and battle gears.”
”OK, let us all meet up here in ten to fifteen minutes.”
”Okay,” they chorused as we all went to do different things.
After meeting up, we setted off on our journey. We walked through grass, sand and even water until we couldn't walk anymore.
We camped under the moonlight and stared at the glowing stars until we all fell asleep.
***
Dark night. Gunshots. Heavy rain fell upon all of us. I fell to my knees and cried. My heart ached like never before. I couldn't believe I lost...
***
I woke up with a start. It was just a dream. I sighed loudly with relief. My heart continued to ache. I could still feel the pain I felt in the dream. I lost someone. Who it was, however I am not sure. I felt the pulse of the ground.
They are coming.
”Grandma, Nyx, Get up. Get up. They're coming, get up.”
”Nyx, Nyx. Oh my God, Nyx, get up.”
”mmm, what, it is not morning yet, ” he yawned.
”We have to leave now, they are coming,” I complained as I forcefully dragged him along.
”Where are we even going? We can't just keep on going without a destination in mind.”
”We don't know yet but in the mean time we have to keep going or they'll catch up with us. They will here any minute.”
”How far away are they?”
Out of nowhere, a bullet flew past me.
”Not far in enough, run.”
More bullets followed the first. I took out my lint gun and fired. Another bullet flew past me but this time from in front of me. I saw more coming from in front.
What the hell.
