CHAPTER 31The entire moment had been nothing more than a dream. Yet, as a large hand rose from the inky waters to engulf his own, Abednego felt his hope slip away just as easily as the the rock he had held so firmly in his grasp. As another arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him roughly against a hard chest, Abednego found he had lost the will to fight and instead he dangled from the man’s arms as pathetically as broken doll. The other wasted no time as he pulled them both from the lake, pausing only to toss the rock back into the murky lake. Before he threw him to the ground once again. Grunting in pain, Abednego turning over onto his back to looking up at the man who now stood towering above him so threatening.

The shock of the chill and sudden burn startled her as she awoke to the sight of bright yellow-green eyes that watched over her that night. For hours now, she had gripped some sheets she found on the bed, depressed on her tongue and has been sweating drops of terror from her skin.She felt the heavy yellow glow press down upon her like a mega-tonne, perversely watching her cower under her soft quilt.

When she opened her eyes again the yellow light blinded her and without a sound, her demonic intruder was face to face with her; in this moment she shrieked out a primal scream of sheer terror which the creature bathed in with great pleasure, as it seemed to f

CHAPTER 28Nina's facial expression was gloomy and sad by the time she was searching for Abednego, although she genuinely looked like someone who smiled a lot by the time she met Matendechere.Her skin clothes she had worn before were so shredded and bloodstained that they weren’t wearable anymore.

Her right arm was having a scar all the way to the shoulder, which had been shredded when his right side hit hard at the ogrism.Her injuries appeared to be painful, when in reality she couldn’t feel anything.

CHAPTER 26Abednego kept on running, he has to catch up with the ogrism, ones they are fed the tail will begin to grow, that's when he will be required to cut it. Now the sun has set and it was incredibly bright and there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. This had given Abednego the sad delusion that there would be some semblance of warmth to be had but the bitter cold air shattered that happy thought.He wrapped his skin clothes tighter around him, running through the woods as fast as he could.
