To Touch The Blue Sky [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9: Some Things Need To Take Time

I am so thrilled right now what we will do next as we are secretly following this gigantic creature and I don't know where it's heading.

"Where are we going?" I say in a low tone voice. I try to tip-toe while running behind. I can't bear but just to trust her. Whatever is going in her mind, I hope it will never lead us to trouble.

"We're going to follow them"

"What?!" I suddenly scream.

"Shh!"

"Sorry..."

"Just trust me."

"Make sure we will never..." Before I can finish my words, she instantly cuts me off.

"No more talking. Come on! Just be silent... and shut your mouth."

"Okay..." I just wanted to ask and say more but it seems like I need to whip my mouth close.

We are silently skittering like rats following tallest humans. The ground always makes us stumble because of these giants' heavy steps. The loud and deep stamp is profoundly heard and sounded. As you can see huge giants walking in the fantasy movies. The place is becomes odd and scary to us as we are emerging into the darkest place. The trees become dense and scent becomes terribly vile. I look around and I realize that these trees planted here are more denser than that recent place where we were temporarily staying. The branches are so thick and I think more than fifteen people can wrap the round body of just a single tree. The leaves are so widely huge. They have the same sizes as my huge blanket.

"Ugh! The smell stinks!" I clap my hand onto my nose. And so does she. The smell of this place really squeezing my lungs due to its vileness.

I can't describe the place as environmentally friendly or just human-friendly either. If we really get into trouble, I don't know what we will do. It's really horrible if these terrifying creatures will catch us and there is no way we can escape from it because how many steps we can take if we run compared to those gigantically paces of those giants.

"You say they're good," I can't stop my mind to speak it out. "Well, I now can't see it."

"Don't you ever discriminate them, George. They're good. I know and I feel it. I've planning about this that... maybe... maybe we can make them help us save the kingdom."

"What?! Are you out of your mind?" I furrow surprisingly. "And how are you going to do that?"

"I don't know. I'm still planning on it. We don't have armies just like Caraspian. So maybe... maybe we can makes these creatures as our armies to overpower him."

She makes a good point. We don't have armies and that's exactly right. We can't succeed and make possible to save the kingdom by just ourselves. So we need to overpower this Caraspian to make our desire happen. But how is she going to do that? How are we going to make that happen? By befriending this horrible and vile creatures. That's impossible! And if we take the risk to communicate with them, well, I don't think so if these creatures would think the same way the way we, humans, would. I don't think so if we could really understand each other. There are so many differences between them and us. Well, right now, I just depend myself on her. I don't know what I am going to do.

A view from the distance is more horrible than a haunted house in a horror movie. It looks like a hidden cave. But it's not just a little cave. It's a huge cave. Now I think that this is their home. As we lunge more forwardly through the thick trees, I realize we are now getting into the edge of the line of these standing trees. As we reach the end but we are still hiding behind the last huge trunk. We peek and see the whole view. I hang up my mouth as this place literally strikes me. The cave now really looks like a huge mountain with two waterfalls at the opposite sides of the front view they are flowing from highest to lowest. I think there is a terribly huge water bunk on the top of the cave making the water flow towards the narrow river flowing horizontally that it continually goes to the very end. But I don't know if there is another flow right down over there. Well I guess, there is because the water here never fills up. How could you be so stupid, George? But we don't know... this place is full of magical.

We see the two giants enter the huge grand entrance. If you're wondering there is no bridge from here to get to the entrance to overpass the river. Well, understandably, they don't need that one as the little river for them only levels on their feet. But how about us?

"Come on..." She says under her breath. But before she goes on, I grip her hand tightly to yank her back suddenly. Well, I don't mean that.

"Ouch!"

"What are you going to do? Follow them?"

"We oght to."

"What? Are you out of your mind?! It's dangerous!"

"How will we know if we don't seek it?"

"Okay... maybe not just now. Don't decide such things impulsively! Just take it slow."

"Well I can't take things so slow while my kingdom is now being at huge risk!" She suddenly yell at me. I step back a bit and let go of her hand. I say nothing. Her face changes from furious to anxious.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."

"No, don't say that. I understand you." I take a deep breath and take a hold of her both hands. "I know how desperate and eager you are to save your people and your kingdom. I know how anxious you are because you care about them. But you can't also risk yourself by taking things impulsively that later on you might regret it. You must think before you act."

"And who says I'm not thinking?"

"I don't see you're thinking either."

"How dare you say that to me! Just in case you forget I am..."

"You're the princess! So you must act like one!" I scream totally at her all in a sudden. Even me, I did not expect that coming out of my mouth. She steps back as if she's surprised by what I said to her and lets go of my hands. I now regret it. My emotion shifts to sympathizing her.

"Look..." I don't know what to say next after I said that to her. "I'm sorry, I did not intend that. I understand you but if you take a risk and you get yourself into trouble, who will save your people? If you're going to die just because of your quick and rapid decisions, who will then save your kingdom?" I hold her hand back and prepare myself to utter words to make it soothing to her and to motivate her.

"We can't let that happen right? We can't let that Caraspian destroy and ruin your people. We must take our time to take actions for the next plan. Your mother and father are nw dead and you're the only one left for your kingdom. There is no one. It's just everything needs to take time. And you need take time to prepare yourself." I don't know if I relieved her enough to calm down and understand my point. But instead, I see her tears flow down her face. I'm silently surprised. She shakes her head and looks on the ground. She's trying to hold her tears back now. She lets go of my both hands again. And she suddenly runs away back towards the thickness of those trees.

"Ellisse!" I now do not know what I am going to do. I sigh deeply and decide to follow her.
