Chapter 70: Chapter 69 - Reset
I was still not over it. I mean we were practically from the same team, we even trained together. She was my partner in crime. We worked so hard together with Xie Li going through the training again and again. I mean we were not very good at it, and we were stuck most of the time. But I could have sworn that we were friends, and that we were going to look out for one another.
How could Charlotte just do that?
Taking in a deep breath. I tried to forget what happened and to simply let it go. But it was not working. Focus on the positives Maria had always said. Try to look for the positives, and focus my energy towards it.
What positives were there?
I helped my friend Charlotte get a complete the mission, and now, she will be able to leave. It was positive for her but what about me?
Maybe it's not such a bad thing. I now had no coins, so I guess I don't need to hide no more. If there are any thieves lying around in the dark, when they come to me, I can just let them know that all my coins were stolen and maybe they will leave me alone.
That's not too bad, I guess.
But it doesn't help with the fact that I will still need coins to leave.
The teacher said that there were 99 candidates in our block. We just need to find four coins. Maybe some kids dropped their coins on the floor, I mean those coins were pretty light and small. There's bound to be some coins that dropped on the floor.
I just have to look for them. It's a treasure hunt!
Okay, so now that this has been sorted. Let's see, where I am.
I was standing on the bottom right of the block, I could see dark black walls raised up at least a hundred metres to my left and to my right.
It's no wonder that Charlotte was able to get me, I was practically alone, and stuck in the corner with nowhere to go.
Now, based on what the commentator said, we are looking for a bell tower. That is the only way out.
Turning around, I saw it, elevated high above the white cottages was a high and mighty skinny bricked up medieval clock tower, with a large jade green roof, four giant golden bells that had been ringing non-stop ever since we arrived. Green roof, four giant golden bells that had been running non-stop ever since we arrived. It was located on the far north east, practically the complete opposite location of where I was standing.
All I had to do was run to the left-hand side, and up.
It reminded me of the orphanage when I use to run through the corridors, hitting the doors, and waking up all the other kids in the middle of the night.It reminded me of the orphanage when I use to run through the corridors, hitting the doors, and waking up all the other kids in the middle of the nigh. But this time, all I had to do was run.
I started to sprint. Forgetting about everything we needed to do when out of nowhere a loud scream rang in the night.
What was going on?
Why was she suffering?
Was someone hurting her?
I had to find out, I followed the sound, and started to run.
Step after step I went, it sounded like she was in a lot of pain, and with every step I took her scream only got louder.
I was getting closer.
The screams were getting louder.
Here and there I could hear other screams. Was there more than than one person getting hurt?
I had to keep going, but what help was I going to bring them? I was like the most vulnerable person ever, I had no weapons, and to add to that I was only seven. A tiny little girl!
no knives, no swords, or even sticks. What good was I going to bring in a fight?
Argh! Stop discrediting yourself, I told myself. Maria had always said that if we focus on the issue then we will just end up bringing up more problems and nothing good will ever happen.
I had to trust myself, I was fast, I had quick wits, and could think outside the box.
There is bound to be something I can do. Anything is better than nothing.
I continued running, turning a corner as the sound softened as I charged forward.
When suddenly I see a giant white church, and standing in front of it was a teenage boy, with muscular arms, wearing a leather vest, with dozens of weapons on it. clothes, with dozens of weapons on it. A sword sheathed under his belt, two giant axes on his back, a chain with a hook at the end, and knives on his belt.
Who was this guy?
He was whispering something to the girl under his boots, and surrounding him were half a dozen boys and girls with their weapons out.
"That's not the answer I wanted to hear."
With a smirk on his face with a smirk on his face, he acts fast, his knife plunges down, stabbing the girls hand to the floor.
The kids charged forward, but he also responds quickly, whipping his chain out, throwing everyone to the floor, and lassoing the boy who actually ran away.
"Where do you think you are going?"
The chain wraps around his neck, and tightens, ripping the whole head off with a loud crack.
"Kids, all I want is the coins."
"Give it to me, and I'll let you live."
"You already have four, why do you need more?"
"Because I can."
With a blur of his hands, he throws an axe at the girl, tearing her in half.
It sends shivers down my back, I was hiding next to a building, where he couldn't see me.
How was I supposed to help?
This was terrible. Was there going to be anything I could do?
I had to help, I had to scream, get his attention to me, maybe then the others would be able to leave.
I had to create the diversion for them.
I stepped out, opened my mouth, ready to scream when a hand grabbed my mouth and pulls me out.
My whole vision goes dark.
