Chapter 39: True story
For several minutes, the train kept moving, and fortunately, no further problems arose. The railway tracks still seemed perfectly safe, and as far as the train traveled, there were no strange sights or any signs of the presence of dark creatures along the tracks.
"It’s a good thing that we can at least relax for a while." Chelsie leaned her body against the seat. "Surely there shouldn’t be any dark creatures chasing us now."
"No." Nalira shook her head. "We can’t let our guard down."
"Yes, I agree with what Nalira has said." Shaan nodded his head. "We can’t come to that conclusion at all. The dark creatures may still be around, and we must not let our guard down at all."
"Uhm... I understand."
"Considering that the dark creatures could appear at any time, I suggest that we take turns to keep watch for each other. I think it’s much safer, and we can at least protect each other. What do you think?"
"Uhm... yes, I have no problem with that at all." Chelsie nodded her head. "What do you think, Lira?
"All right then, let’s decide who’ll take the first —"
"I’ll take the first watch. You two get some rest." Nalira stood up from her seat and walked toward the locomotive room.
"Uhmm... alright, Lira." Chelsie nodded her head. "Thank you."
"Oh...okay."
Shaan then decided to move and pick another passenger seat near the window. The reason he chose a different seat was simply because he felt awkward sleeping face-to-face with someone else. Besides, he didn’t want to disturb Chelsie, who already looked fast asleep—like a baby.
