Warrior Princess

Chapter 31

Next day, we started our journey again without any obstacle. After our talk last night, I went back to sleep, I was tossing and turning all night trying to stop his words getting to me.

I won't let you die.

His voice ringing in my head. He said this with so much conviction that I believed him for the time being.But I know better to trust on his words. They are just words to deceive me.

We step out of the forest and walked to a dirt path, silence surrounding us.

Can't they just use teleportation so that we can save the time  

"Alex" I called him, he looked at me curiously, as he walked towards me "What is it?" he asked joining beside me. "Doesn't anyone of you know teleportation?" I asked, I am tired of walking, my body is giving up on me. He chuckled "No, we Midnightian doesn't have that power", my shoulder slumped with his response. At time like this, I really miss my powers.

I was so used to them that I never thought I had to live without them one day

We walked on the path, this morning we got some fruits from the forest to fill our stomach, but they weren't enough because my stomach is grumbling again in hunger. "I am hungry" I said loud to no one in particular, Annalise scoffed from beside Chase, she was practically leaning on him. 

How cute.

Not.

"Just wait for a little bit, we will find something on the way" Chase said  casually without looking at me, I frowned, I would have waited for a whole day if my condition was not this dire. Will looked at me sighing, I tried to smile back, not to show him my condition, my feet are swell and I am feeling sore all over my body. My eyes were blurring due to lack of sleep. "You look like shit" Caleb said from the other side, his voice light, I rolled my eyes, he always have to joke "I feel like shit" I replied back. "Where is the lover boy?" Alex whispered near my ear startling me, I scowl at him, "Don't do that", he just shrug his shoulder sheepishly, then I realize he said something, I looked at him, "Who is lover boy?" I asked, confusion clearly written on my face. 

"Your best friend Will"  He said wiggling his eye brows, I elbowed him in his ribs with full force, as much force as I can use in this condition, he chuckled obviously not feeling the pain of my weak blow, "He is not a lover boy" I said as I looked around me and as Alex said he wasn't there.

Where the hell he went?

I frowned and stopped walking, "Caleb, where is Will?" I asked him looking at him questionably, he stopped and looked around. Everyone stopped as well "Why are we stopping?" Annalise annoyed voice speak, Chase looked directly at me, his eye brow raised in question, But I didn't replied to him, instead I started shouting Will name, turning around and going back from where we came, Caleb quickly followed me as well as Alex, "Did he tell you something?" Cal said walking beside me, keeping up to my pace. I shook my head, Will was walking beside me one moment and in next he was gone, 

Is he in some danger?

He can take care of himself very well but we are in unknown territory, I don't want any bad thing to happen to him just because he came here to save me. "William" I shouted, cupping my hands in front of my mouth, suddenly I heard footsteps from right direction, I quickly moved towards it, then I saw Will walking in our direction, holding different type of fruits in his hand. I sighed in relief and ran to him hugging him, "Where were you?" he was startled by my hug but nonetheless returned it, after breaking the hug, he showed me the fruits he was holding in his hands, "You were hungry" he said gesturing to the fruits, I chuckled and punched him on the shoulder, "So, you would go in the forest without telling any one, you had me worried" I snapped but I was smiling, he brought me food. "I was worried as well" Caleb said coming towards us and punching Will on the shoulder, he winced from the impact. I chuckled, he should get more punches for pulling this stunt.
