Fallen Stars

Chapter 83:The Two Adversaries

Samantha-

Me and Jahan set up camp half two-hundred yards away from the battlefield. I feel guilty because I'm not fighting on the battlefield. I told Ekero I'll protect you, I can't even do that.

"So what's your story?" I ask Jahan. He raises his head and looks at me.

"Uh, it's kinda a funny story," He jokes, but I notice a hint of sorrow in his voice."Well, it's not funny at all. It's sad, really."

"Hey guys." Tara says, walking over to our camp. She's been battling, that much I know. There is blood on her jeans, and ash is on her black shirt.

"Hey," Jahan says to her, becoming nervous when she sits next to him. I feel uncomfortable, knowing they both are infatuated with each other, and I have no boy with me that could be my boyfriend."I was just going to tell Samantha my life story."

"Tell us, I want to hear it." Tara tells him, running her fingers along his arm.

"I was born into a wealthy family in India. My dad was born a Shiner and so was his brother. I was fourteen when Nitaves raided our large house. Only me and my uncle survived the slaughter of my family. The Nitave squad was commanded by Yangle. I think he's back on the battlefield, I recognize the murderer of my family." Jahan tells us.

"Sorry about your family having their lives ended." Tara tells him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I just learned to accept death. Cruel things are going to happen in this world, it's nothing new. Anyways, back to the story," Jahan says to her. Then he continues his life story."Me and my uncle decided to leave India and migrate to America. He picked a random city for us to live in, the city was Nashville. Nashville is a city in Tennessee. We lived there until a Nitave saw me teleporting, the same Nitave who was killed at the Nitave base yesterday night. The older one. He chased me, so I teleported back to me and my uncle's apartment. We left Nashville after that. My uncle moved us to Kentucky, where we lived for a few more years until we discovered that there was a Nitave base nearby. Me and my uncle traveled to the base, where we met Jen and Chase after we were all captured there. Chase broke us out and we've been friends ever since. They eventually left after two weeks of living with us. Awhile after that, Chase called me and wanted me to take care of Jen. So I teleported to her location and teleported her to Kentucky. When we heard the news of Alan wing imprisoned at a Nitave base in Tennessee, we teleported there. My uncle was killed by Yangle, before I could do anything. Yangle left when I wounded him. I teleported to India and buried my uncle there, then I went back to the Nitave base to rescue Alan. After that, I met Alan and Aleah. I met Tara at a motel room. When we got to Stonehenge, we were ambushed by Nitaves. Alan wasn't with us, because he got separated after falling into his own abyss. A mysterious teenaged girl saved us. If it wasn't for her, me, Tara, and Jen would be dead. Anyways, the girl suddenly disappeared after that. So me, Tara, and Jen went to the battle in Pennsylvania, the first battle I fought in against Sharkutt. When the battle was over, I moved in with Alan's team."

"You said Yangle is on the battlefield, right?" I ask Jahan. He nods."Then why don't you go kill him. The jerk murdered your entire family, get your revenge."

"Never underestimate the enemy," Jahan replies, staring into the light of our campfire."Yangle is way too powerful. He's not even a Nitave sorcerer, and he's powerful."

I roll my eyes and stand up."I bet I can beat him."

"Just relax, Samantha." Jahan tells me.

"How can you relax when the killer of your family is still alive?!" I shout at him.

"Hey, I was just saying that you should relax! I'm pissed off, but you seem even madder than me!" He shouts, teleporting in front of me. Then he points in the direction of the battlefield."Ekero is out there, probably dead. You like him and I saw the glances he kept giving you when he first saw you. You're here with me and Tara, when you should be seeing if Ekero is alive! And what about your brother, are you just going to let him die too?!"
