The Witch In The Village

#Chapter 16

Amaya's perspective.....

"Where are you taking us, Sage?" I say, managing to catch my breathe.

"Hurry up, Amaya. Your life's a risk, you know." Sage say cracking his voice a little. Sage looked very worried and terrified.

"Sage, tell me. Where are you taking us?" I say seriously. Sage sighs and looked up and notices the rain was getting stronger. "Amaya, I'm taking you to where you started." Sage says with coldness in his eyes.

"Sage, I'm fine-" !?!?!?!!! I was cut by Sage. "Amaya when will you stop thinking everything you do won't affect other people's feelings or hard work! Sage snap.

I was surprised, I didn't expect Sage to be this mad at me. Does he know what'll happen to me of I was found? Or did I just cross the line?

"Do you know that there's still people who loves you in the other side! Do you think your mother can take another burden?! First your father, then you?! You have to respect people, Amaya! Sorry for being rude to you but you just gotta learn respect, young lady." Sage exclaimed.

"S-sage, I'm sor-" I say trembling. Then Sage held my hand and looked at me with worried eyes. "Amaya, do you think I'll ever forgive myself for not protecting you? I would be devastated. So remember this, Amaya, If your in a situation where in you can't protect yourself any longer, Call my name." Sage says as he places my hand against his face.

"S---sage?" I say biting my lip, controlling myself from crying.

"Trust me, Amaya."

I couldn't help myself from crying but I just couldn't take it anymore. I endured my tears from falling for a while now and now its freely rolling down my cheeks. Sage lets go of my hand and gently wipes off the tears preventing it to roll down my cheeks. After that, Sage gentle eyes were gazing at me. Then, suddenly Sage carried me like a princess.

"Kyaa!" I screech. "Put me down, Sage. I'm not a baby!" I say feeling slug-ish because of crying. °////////°

"Of course you're not a baby, because you're a princess." Sage corrected. •~•

"Now that's worse, Sage." I say playfully slapping his chest. Sage grinned about this. "What?" I say. "Its just that you're so cute when you're cheering up." Sage smiled.

"Ehhhh???????!" I exclaimed. "Hehehehe, You always surprise me everytime, Amaya. Did you know that everytime you blush in front of me, you always make this skip a beat or make it beat furiously fast." Sage says pointing at his chest, where his heart lies within.

"Is that so? I didn't realize." I say trying to keep myself from exploding with happiness.

"You're really sly, you know." Sage says smirking. And at that time I realized that Manager was just their watching blankly. "Oh, I just realized you were still there, Manager." I say, getting really embarrassed for doing stuff in front of my boss. "Don't worry, Amaya. I'm used to it." He sighs.

So Sage started walking deep into forest. "Sage! Please don't go." I plead. "I don't wanna leave empty handed. We left all the food at the apartment." I explain. " Don't Worry, Amaya. Last night I delivered it all last night both food and water. So we can go home now. Before, you get caught." Sage stated.

"Well, Well, Well. You guys think you can escape?" Lady Elise smirked. Just then I noticed that she was accompanied by both The strongest chess player and Edward.

"See, Amaya? You can't escape from me anymore. You always get in my way both in our world and in this world." Lady Elise stated. "What do you mean, Lady Elise? I never stole any of your belongings." I questioned. " Oh, you don't realize it do you? Well, who cares. YOu'll be eliminated anyways." Lady Elise laughed.
