The Legend of Boscaria (Book 1 Of The Boscaria Trilogy)

15

"Kate , I expect you to do more better." The man in the shallow cave walks towards the bleeding obscurius.

"I..." Katelyn was severely injured , she ran into broken spears and rocks , the branches ripped her black flesh. "I am sorry..." Her deep echoing beast groaning sound wasn't very convincing that she was as fit as she wants to be.

The man bent down to her , he reached to her face , one touch , had turned her back to her human form. She moaned in pain as he took her in a princess hug , he brought her into the deep caves , he placed her down on one of the smooth moss rocks. The whole cave is made entirely of rich rock salt , it is hidden deep in the South East woods of Boscaria , by means Katelyn had ran a very distance from the villager's town. Very little percentage of living things can survive in thesrle ferocious wildlife woods.

The sunlight had flickered Katelyn's eye sight , she woke up , her eyes twinkling by the sun , she blinked a few times to get familiar with the sight , she sat up from the hard rock she had slept on for who knows how long. Her bruised left arm and left leg was covered in bandages , she touched the wrapped bandages , she smiled as she cried softly , "I'm sorry Nate , I'm sorry..."

"Do not activate intense emotional issues towards your body. That will only make healing worse and harder." The man came back from hunting , he was also a half born obscurius , one of the species less to be found.

He place the lifeless deer on the stone table , and took a look at Katelyn's injuries , he had had them all wrapped up nice and clean. He wouldn't want her to mess up her wounds even more now would he ?

"Theron , I have unfortunately failed you..." Katelyn whimpered carefully as he touched her bruise.

"Yes you did , but I forgive you , since you were terribly injured , not bad for a fast learner , you learn how to dig sympathy from ones heart." Theron spoke calmly , he was not insulting her or complimenting her , which made her even more anxious.

Theron had told Katelyn to stay in the cave for healing progress , for she was his ultimate responsibility. If he had not ordered her to get rid of the pure , she would not have been exposed , for  he himself was a gentleman who kept his promises. He had also had a heart for her , she worked very hard just to impress him , but she was never enough for him , she was never the right and perfect fit , she could never be what he wanted to create.

"You're doing it all wrong." Nate sighed deeply with disappointing approval.

"Give me a break , when can I get my relic ?" I scowled as I got up from the physical exercise Nate was planning to get me mastered with. The exercises were killing me , literally , 50 sit ups , 80 push ups , 60 second planks. This was the hardest I've traind for years , I've been peaceful and mushy and comfortable until I met this hell of a devil.

My legs and arms aren't as flexible as he wants me to be , I had enough of him complaining about my inabilities.

"When you finish the 30 day trial." Nate grinned with an awfully naughty act , he clap his hand on my back , causing me to slump over , almost face planting to the earth , we were outside , in the lawn at the back of the house. It had been 11 days since Katelyn disappeared , I really am worried about where she is , and how will she survive out there ? I mean , I know she's not human , I know...

Staying in Boscaria wasn't an option , I have thought of changing plans , about going back to Lakewood a few days ago , but the thought of what happened to Katelyn these following days , I just couldn't help my self but care for this stranger situation. Katelyn is my friend , she is Nate's precious little sister , she is my savior and so is Nate , without her , I wouldn't have been standing here alive today wandering where she would be at the tauntered time.

"When will Katelyn come back ?" I asked while I study his expression slowly , I wouldn't want to activate His killer system would I ? No , I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that.

"Until she forgives her self." Nate shrugged like nothing had happened , he said it like he didn't care that his sister is lurking any where around us and suffering , does he really seem so heartless ?

"For what ?" I sat down beside Nate , there was a wooden bench in the lawn , perfect for sitting down and settling for the beauty of the moon light lit up in the tremendous sky in the night.

"For destroying her self." Nate closed his eyes and whispered a word that seems like Katelyn's name. I'm really jealous , not the bad kind of jealousy , just that , she has such a great brother loving her , taking care of her , why would she want to...become a monster like she already is ?

I didn't know she was half an obscurius , they never told me , I was never told about it. I don't get why it's such a secretive and big thing about her identity ? Can't obscuriuses and humans be in love like normal people ? I am relieved that Nate's mother and father actually broke the ridiculous rules and got married , and have birth to two beautiful children. To me , that's what love is , crossing the boundaries for your loved ones without even knowing there was one.

I place my palm on Nate's back , patting softly from up till down , he smiled faintly , guess my comforting skills aren't that bad like my fighting skills. Nate began to teach me how to fight , he told me that he'd get me a relic-weapon if I pass all of the trials hes prepared for me. Relics are weapons the people in Boscaria call of , they are the weapons that they depend on to survive , to kill obscuriuses and save their own life. But very less people can master a relic , as the relic chooses it's owner , it's not an owner's choice to make.

It was an evening , dinner time was closing in , normally I don't cook very well , I only know how to make scramble eggs and toast , some dry tea and a sandwich , but Nate in the other hand , was an excellent cook , he's got Katelyn's secret recipes , he knows American dish , Korean dish , Swedish dishes and many more , even from  countries I've never heard of.

So I was assigned to make breakfast , and he makes the lunch and dinner. We survived like this , for a few days. Katelyn's cooking was still the best out of the best , her soup was flavoured with love , her dishes were absolute wonderful and delicious.

To be blunt , I miss her cooking.
