Chapter 51: Illusion
"What are you spacing out for!? Move!"
Eirin could not believe the young man after he threw her back to the ground, leaving her groaning and cussing.
"Do you really have to throw me!? My arm is—" Eirin stopped as she blinked thousands of times. Her injuries were long gone before she could even notice.
The forest spoke once again.
"Lonely demon child, you shall stay here with us."
Shade clicked his tongue as he pulled Eirin up. The teenage girl only stared at the young man and said nothing. It was like walking on eggshells after what the forest had said to the man. She didn’t want to piss him off even more.
"Let’s go."
The flames vanished, and Shade grabbed Eirin by the end of her torn shirt, looking ahead of them. It was still the same dark and ghastly forest, and the voices were still trying to converse with them. Those same vines that kept attacking Eirin were still trying to get a hold of them, but unlike before, Eirin was calm.
Eirin never knew that the despicable Shade Cromwell’s presence could calm her down. "What about Coleen and Link?"
"They left."
The teenage girl’s forehead creased and said, "Will they make it? I thought the only people allowed here are people like you?"
