"Katherine" I whispered astonished staring at her wide eyes. She was gracefully fighting against Chase, her Katana clashing with Chase's sword. I got out of my stunned state "Kat" I yelled running in her direction, she stopped after hearing my voice calling her and turned around, Chase stopped as well when he figured out that I knew the person he was fighting.
"Em" she said and when I was in arm distance, she engulfed me in bone crushing hug. "I found you" she whispered in my ear sighing, I smiled, its been while since I met her. Last time we met, I promised her that we will go on hunting trip but I didn't know that something like this will happen to me. "I missed you" I said breaking the hug, she smiled, her eyes shining bright in the light. I looked past her to Chase, he was frowning at us. Just then Caleb joined us.
"You are late" he stated smirking at her, she rolled her eyes "its wasn't easy to find you guys" she said, I wrinkled my nose in confusion "I am not following?" I said, they both stare at me and Caleb gave a short laugh. "Did you think we would came to your aid without any help" he replied gesturing to Katherine, I nodded in understanding.
"Did you bring anything to eat?" Cal said to her trying to check her sack on her shoulder, she jerked his hand away "Get away" and they both started bickering, I rolled my eyes "Ah, young love" I said with mirth, both glared at me at the same time, I held my palms in surrender gesture and walked past them towards Chase. He raised his eyebrow towards Kat in question.
"She is my cousin" I replied to his unasked question, he cocked his head "She is here to help me" I explained further, seeing his confused expression. He just nodded in response "Tell her that she was lucky this time that I didn't kill her" he said with blank expression, suddenly a growl erupt from my mouth "Don't you dare" I said icily glaring at him, I love Katherine, no one can hurt her on my watch. He just yawned in replied. That Bas-
"We are getting people add up to our little group" Alex said cutting my thoughts off, looking at the people around him, my two best friend and my cousin, Chase, his brother and his so called mate with Alyssa. We are eight in number now.
We stand in a circle, ready to discuss our next move, I was standing beside Kat and on my other side was Alex.
"You know what the next forest hold" Kat stated, it was our last stop before entering Baruna mountains, we are taking forest route because it's a short cut and it will conceal us from other people to avoid any suspicion. But that means we have to fight the creature who reside in this forest.
"What?" Cal asked stupidity, he was standing beside Kat. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior,
"The sphinges" I said remembering that time of history lesson about them. They have a head of a human and body of a lion, they also possess wings and are very dangerous creature. I have heard that they will only let people pass through who will answer their riddle.
"Come on then, lets go" Annalise for the first time gave positive input, I looked at her mouth open.
Did she say that.
"What! why are you all looking at me like that, if we have to be in the Baruna by tonight, we have to leave right now" she said when she saw every body was looking at her. I looked at Will, he has a small smile on his face, his smile got wiped when he saw I was staring at him, I quickly divert my eyes away. This is awkward.
"Hold your horses girl, first we have to decide how we are going to get past them" Kat said looking at Annalise with blank stare, she scoff in response "Easy, by solving their riddle" she said like its as easy as swinging sword. I sighed
"Lets get going, we will figure it out when we reach there" Chase said in authority voice closing the conversation.
