Chapter 30: Secret Relationship
Coris stood by the side in a dark room. It was hardly illuminated. The curtains weren’t drawn and no shimmer of light could penetrate into the dark room.
She was somewhere on the outskirts of the Ghost Village. She had committed a sin against her and own people. She had betrayed her friend and all that was left on her was to shake off the burden and run. Run? No. She was not running from her people. She had something else on her back. Something more dreaded to her than the Ghosts she had betrayed. Something extremely hunting and forbidden.
She turned her head and stared through the window like she expected someone. Like she felt a presence but she saw nothing. Just the little light that drew. Morning was drawing in. She had to act fast and quick.
"What are you starting at?" a voice called out and she shivered lightly. Her illusions had gotten her knocked out of this world into her thoughts.
She continued to stare outside still expecting something or someone. She stared on only managing to breath. She cared little or less of what question she was just asked.
"Nothing. Just a little naive." Coris muttered. Her trembled lightly as it held onto the window.
"Really? Why? Are you afraid of the Ghosts? I never expected this from a strong warrior as you." the voice came again. She turned now and stared at a hulky figure. It’s massive size shimmered in the absence of light. Sitting on the left side of the room was Seal Thon, the commander of Stolks.
Coris stared at him admiring his muscles and albs. She then left the window and graced towards him. She then sat at the other side of the small room.
"I’m not afraid of them. Infact I have no atom of regret for what I did. All I am in fear of is..." Coris said and paused. Seal looked at her. There was a raw sense of fear in her eyes and he could only but imagine what sort of thing could instill such fear in her.
