NOVEL WEB Chapter 35: I am very hungry
Along the hunted time, many soldiers from Azura side were shot down.
Seeing his men was shot down one by one Utara's eyes darkened and his face turned red from the anger he was holding inside.
"They are near." Senja whispered to him.
"Who?" Utara asked confused.
"The reinforcement."
His expression turned shocked. How she know? Is she just blurted out? "Are you sure?"
Senja firmly nodded her head.
"How you know?" He still not quite sure with Senja's words.
"They are coming."
And right after that, a thousand soldiers was charging toward them from behind the hill. They were going berserk, completed with their armor, swords and spear.
Azura's archeries were on the second line while their arrow shot right through the pursuers' vital body. Many enemies fell to the ground, this made them retreat unwillingly.
Upon seeing the table was turned to their victory and also the reinforcements there to saved the day, all the Azura's soldiers got down from the trees. Join their comrades to chase after their chaser before.
Utara and Senja also got down from the trees, when both of them touch the ground Senja already couldn't stand up properly, thus Utara kept holding on her waist.
One of the men among the army hastily walked towards Utara and knelt down before his eyes.
"Lieutenant Utara. Apologize for my tardiness." He said without even dare to raising his face.
Right in that time Senja slumped onto Utara's embraced because of the excessive feeling she felt.
"Senja!" His gripped to her body tighten to prevent her fell to the ground.
Not too far, the massacre was happening.
***
A refreshing fragrant assaulted her nose, but she was still reluctant to open her eyes, only her slightly knitted brows signaled that she had regained consciousness. No one notices this.
The first thing Senja notice was, all over her body was in pain and she felt exhausted not to mention the indescribable hunger that made her stomach like split into two.
She was trying to remember what was happening to her and right then her memory from previous occasion overflowed her mind. Image after image were overlapping one after another.
Abruptly she sat up and assessed her body. She was still wearing the same robe from last night, however some part of her body that injured were bandaged including her hands that was why she felt little bit numb with her hands.
Senja brushed her hair off from her face. If she was not mistaken, last night the reinforcements came just in time to save them, however the overwhelmed feeling when someone nearly death and dying suffocate her to the point she couldn't bear it anymore and she passed out.
It feels like there was a connection between the extreme hungry she felt and the exhaustion feeling she experienced. Those feeling simply sucked her energy dry. Just to thought about that, it irritated her.
She wasn't sure if this is blessing or not. She was indeed able to sense other people emotions but she couldn't read their mind, it would be cool if she could.
But when she rethink about the possibility of her could read other people thought she shuddered and shake her head. She would be insane for sure.
Just able to feel their emotion, already drove her almost crazy, let alone if she could hear what inside their mind.
One more pieces image flashed her thought that made her heart skipped a beat. She reached a pocket from her inner robe and relief when she got a grabbed of the red stone.
Laid back again she looked intensively at it and remembered the image that she had been seen the first time she touched it. Concentrated, she stared at the stone, hoping could see the image again. But…
It won't do, I am very hungry…
