Bipartite

chapter-6: the separation

"Whatever we face... Do not let go of my hand!!", Angela practically shouted at her brother while they were running through the forests, still, Joel was puzzled on the sudden change of behaviour, but then he remembered what he saw back there and the burning smell of his parents made him slow down without him thinking about it. His parents were dead, they're running through a thick forests they weren't allowed to go to for safety, but after what happened, joel felt like there was so safe place left in this dreadful world, he slowed down his pace little by little as he goes deeper in his own thoughts. Everything around him was blurry and all he could see was his sister holding onto his hand tightly, not only was the forests dark but it was also dangerous. He could hear something on his left ear, it sounded like a whisper, of someone, it was a guy's voice. He couldn't make out what he was trying to say due to the wind gushing  towards them since they were running. Then he had a thought, what were they running from? What was his sister so afraid of? Was she hiding something from him? Suddenly Joel footsteps stopped. Angela was swing backwards due to the sudden action, she turned back with fears with her eyes and screamed at her brother to run. Joel paid no attention and asked "what is it that you saw back there? What are you hiding? Why are you so afraid? " Taken a back by the sudden questions asked by her brother, there was a second of silence between them, " I cannot tell you what it is and you shall never ask me about that question again. Now, we need to run!! " Angela screamed at her brother and tucked on his brother's hands as a signal. In a quick motion the earth shook to its core, and the soil beneath them was slowly cracking, both of them were shaking incredibly and locked eyes at each other,"..... It's here" Angela whispered softly to her brother which only grew paler and paler. Then suddenly the earth around them cracked , holding onto each others hands for dear life, they cried out for each other, then they no longer had the strength and let go of each others hands, which made both fell backwards due to the force. Angela got up as quickly as she can, she scanned the big hole that was now made, it was only a pathway before and now it's a separation between them, she thought of jumping onto the other side, there were some vines hanging from the tress. Since she was still young and light, she would be able to make it if she jumped high enough, and her brother doesn't seem to near the hole so she got even more worried and proceeded to go with the plan. She took a few steps back, controlling her heavy breathing and clutching the necklace her mother had given her "it's now or never" She whispered and then ran as fast as she could, she saw the end of the path where she was gonna jump , she took a high leap, and reached out her hands,"ah yes, the vines now i ca-" Huh? What happened, i was supposed to reach it. She felt something tuck on her shirt.... No it can't be, she slowly turned her head to see the monster, clutching on her collar, and smiling at her. Now, she knew, it was over for her.
