Chapter 17-The Girl

Emily was sitting on the rock, thinking about almost everything when a hand touched her shoulder. Afraid, she turned around to grab the hand.

"Whoah!", said Austin afraid.

"Oh Sorry", Emily said immediately dropping his hand as a blush crept her face.

"No, it's okay. You Samurais are really amazing", he said laughing and keeping the grass and sticks he had got on the ground.

Emily smiled and herself settled down.

"You seem happy?", said Austin as he observed the smile on Emily's face.

"Um...no...I mean is it wrong?", she asked laughing.

"No, it's good. Any specific reason though?", he asked as they continued tieing the sticks together to make the roof.

Emily was about to tell him about the conversation she had had with Jayden, but her heart instructed other way. She didn't know why but telling Austin about her talk seemed wrong, though there was nothing secret in that but still she wanted to keep it only to her.

"Um...no...I just want to save Mike", she said shrugging and Austin nodded.

Once the roof was done Austin got up and nodded towards Emily.

She took out her samuraizer and drew a symbol that summoned some trees and a weak structure was formed that would be used as a temporary tent for a few days they were planning to spend at that place.

"Wow", said Austin and Emily smiled.

It took them just 15 mins. to set the roof and the shelter was ready.

The sky grew darker in a few hours and they ate some fruits they found there. Emily and Austin were talking and sitting in the shelter as it was raining outside.

"Emily, do you think we will be able to save Mike?", Austin asked looking at the trees outside.

"Yeah...", she replied after some seconds of silence, " We will...I mean I have that confidence"

"Good", replied Austin as he smiled looking at her.

"Well, the weather is definitely horrifying today. Will Mike show up again?", Emily asked looking outside.

"I hope he doesn't. It would be difficult to fight him", Austin replied.

"We don't need to fight him Austin", she replied looking at him

"Well, he has gone crazy. You know last night..."

"Nothing was gonna happen. It happened just because you got scared that he was hurting me. You know what, when I saw him in the eyes yesterday, it was not the Mike he has become but he was someone I have known since I have joined the team. The Mike I have grown so close to, the innocent Mike. You know, his eyes were sort of pleading me to help him as if there was some invisible force grabbing him that he was trying to fight but was failing immensely", she said cutting Austin mid-sentence.

"Emily, he attacked eventually", Austin said.

"Yes he did because he doesn't know you. He knows me and for a second I felt that he really knew me yesterday", Emily said.

"Emily, I understand what you are saying but still, it's because you are close to him. For me, he was here because he wanted to hurt you. We need to be cautious. We can't let our guard down because of some soft side of him you saw yesterday, Emily please understand this", he said looking at her in the eyes.

Emily looked sad for a moment but she nodded her head and smiled in Austin's direction.

"Yeah, but my topmost priority would be to bring him back without hurting him", she said.

"So will my priority be", Austin replied and both looked out at the raging storm.

It was a rusty cage with several climbers on the old iron bars. Inside it was a person roaming around like a lion in a captured cage. Ocassionally he would try to push the bars and growl but to no avail, they were very strong.

He was sitting at the corner, hugging his knees when the front door opened. His weak eyes found it difficult to adjust to the light coming in. He was confused, the only time the gate would open was only when he was given some food or they had something to instruct or ask him. It was time for neither, so why was it opened that day?

Confused, his eyes fell on a figure being thrown into the cage and the door being closed.

"Stay there, from now on you will stay here till you learn your lesson", a voice said from outside and he heard some retreating footsteps.

He looked towards the person thrown in the cage and saw a girl crying. She was dressed like other people there but her dress was somewhat royal.

She looked up rubbing her eyes and her eyes met his.

She looked at him for a minute and then looked away, again crying, this time not saying anything.

He felt sad, for the girl. He was suffering and he didn't want others to suffer. He didn't remember anything on how he came here or the people he know other than the ones outside, but kindness and compassion remained in his heart.

He slowly crept towards the girl and sat beside her. He looked towards her face. It was young, her skin was young , probably only his age and she looked afraid and sad.

"Hello", he said carefully and just above a whisper.

The girl backed off frightened and moved away from him with a shocked expression on her face.

"I won't hurt you", he said carefully after seing her frightened.

She thought for a moment and replied slowly, "Hi"

"I am...", he started.

"Mike...I know", she completed looking at the ground.

"And you?", he asked sighing.

"I am..."

To be continued...
