Chương 45: Chapter 44

The day almost getting brighter as the sun ready to share its light and can be seen at the horizon, and the morning ready to greet the living to start their day tasks. Camellia walk slowly along an alley that have several breakfast stalls selling various kind of food for the meal.

The stalls line up at the side of the road and a few them prepared some table and chairs for their customers to sit. Among them there were stall that sell steam buns, hot soups, sandwich and so on. Camellia walk to a small stall that sells steam buns for her breakfast. The smell of the food sells at the steam buns stall make her stomach growling loudly.

Only then she remember, all the way from home to that moment, she have not touch a single bite of cookies she bring along with her in the backpack. She only brought food just enough for one meal in which consist five pieces of cookies that she and her mom baked a few days ago. Camellia plan on saving them for until the moment where there is no food available and she is starving, only then she will have the biscuits.

From what she learn at school, she know that during a war the worst condition is when there is no food and water available. So, yeah, she plan to have them during the hard time only.

Since she already arrived around a place where there is food available at the moment, Camellia decide to buy herself some breakfast as she deserve some food to face the fight later. She need to gain energy as much as she can. She have to be strong enough to face the warriors and look confident with all her might.

Other than that, she, herself don't know when will she have another meal. She don't know whether the warriors will treat her to any meals as she will be in their grasp to take away far from her home. The treatment she will receive must be quite harsh as they had been waiting for her for a week long. And she don't know if the next village will have food for her to buy.

With some money that she plan on her university life, Camellia bought three pieces of meat steam buns and asked for a favour from the lady at the stall for some warm water to be refilled in her bottle. And the kind lady make it easy for her as she said that Camellia does not seems like she is from the village. She compliment way too much that make her blush hard. She told her that Camellia have a really pretty face and soft spoken based on her first impression.

But, what make Camellia felt awkward when the lady keep on asking her whether they have ever meet each other before. She said that Camellia does seems familiar in her eyes but she can't really remember where or how she meet.

When Camellia heard about it, she feels uncomfortable and anxious as she don't want to be notice by others. She forgot that her face will be easily recognise as the 'wanted' girl from the flyers. Camellia quickly grab all of her belongings and thanked the lady before she left. She don't want to be known and it seems like impossible to do so if she stay for a longer time as she first planned.

Camellia planned to sit at the table that the stall sat out for their customers and indulge her face with the food she bought, but with the sudden situation like that she need to leave before there are more people come and surrounded her that will cause a chaos where she tried to avoid.

Camellia start walking fast until the end of a road where there is no more crowd or a single presence, only then she stop and take a deep breath. She take a sit on the ground and have the food she bought. Savouring them in no time, each piece and bites making sure her stomach filled again and replaced the energy that she already use on her way.

Once she done ate her food and have a few gulp of water, Camellia sigh loudly as she felt tired already and want to take another rest before continue her journey to complete her mission. She had been walk for more than ten miles and a lot more than her usual walk up the mountain. It had been more or less than seven hours walk from home. Who would have known that it will tiring her body so much. Who would have known that that long distance journey will cause ones sweating for buckets.

Done with her reminiscing the past and praying for her future, Camellia stand up on her feet. She pat her butt several times to make sure there is no dirt on her pants before pick up her backpack. Her heavy bag almost make her fell forward kissing the ground. With all her might, Camellia stand straight and take a step towards the direction to the border of the village.

It takes another forty minutes before she reach the end of the road and the border of the village. At the thought that she almost at the place where the war happen, Camellia strengthen her will and walk forward full with determination. In her mind, Camellia thought that she will reach the place after another two or three hours walk.

From what Jessica told her, the warriors already destroyed a few other village since their first attack. These was all because they still have not get what they need, so they will keep targeting and attack the next village until they have all they 'need'. The 'need' is including the person they want in the other words, they want Camellia.

As soon as Camellia cross the border and take a step one after another, she smell a strong smell of iron surrounding her. She then look around her and what she found make her really shocked. Her heart beat rise another level as soon as her eyes land on them.

Those scene almost makes her change her mind. She want to go back and hide under her blanket fear of all the red liquid splattering on the ground and the trees around her. Those scene in front of her turns her already tired legs shaking and almost make her drop on the ground and kneel.

She feel afraid of taking another step towards the battlefield where she know it will cause her the worst nightmare in her whole life. Camellia felt that it will be hard for her to erase the scene she saw from her mind. Feeling guilty for those innocent people being killed mercilessly. Guilty in a make a move to stop the bloody war.
