Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 108 - Forest
...***...
Elvina and William continue to step down the road trying to find Rei. Sometimes they both screamed for his cousin's name.
Rei, where are you really? Why did you disappear? thought Elvina was fretting. He continued to step while circulating his gaze around hoping to find the figure of the man who became his cousin.
Elvina. Elvina stopped her steps spontaneously as she heard Rei's voice speaking through her telepathy.
Rei, is that you? You're where? Will and I are worried about you, where are you going? ask Elvina.
I'm in the woods, help me!
"El?" William broke his whole reverie. Elvina turned her head towards her sister who was now looking at her with a confused look. "You okay? Why have you been quiet since?" ask William.
"You're making me almost miss Rei's lead!"
"Huh?" William raised his eyebrows in confusion. Elvina again fell silent trying to focus on communicating with Rei through telepathy.
The grove? All right, we'll be there soon, Elvina replied.
The forest near here is only one, and it's not far from where William and I are right now Elvina said. The woman moved away from her place.
"Wait, where are you going?" william shouted at him who was just moving.
"I know where Rei is."
"really? How come?"
"There's no time to explain. Now come with me!"
William rushed to chase after Elvina despite the confusion over how Elvina knew where Rei was but they had found no clue.

"I'm sure of you." Elvina nodded steadily. The two of them continued to step into the dense forest.
Their eyes kept turning around. "Now how can we find Rei?" William asked again.
"He will lead us to where we are" murmured Elvina.

The blue-colored flame slowly lit up burning any existing dried plants. The fire is getting bigger and bigger to create smoke that continues to air through the dense forest.
Rei was losing energy. He blinked until his iris returned to its original state. His eyes grew blurred until he finally became unconscious.
The man standing before Rei clenched his hand as soon as all of Rei's energy was absorbed. He took a breath along with the completion of all that.
The man turned his head towards Rei who was lying unconscious. He approached Rei and squatted down nearby. His hand moved to raise Rei's chin until he could clearly see Rei's severed face.
"The energy you have is really special. I have never even felt the energy of this wise evolver. Who the hell are you? Why are Joe and his men after you? Are you one of the evolvers who escaped from the lab?" The man monologued with eyes that kept looking at Rei.
Meanwhile, the terrifying huge creature that had originally stepped on Rei, was now standing behind him so calmly. He just kept quiet and noticed, from his attitude showed a great sense of disdain towards the man.
The man's focus shifted as another figure appeared uninvited. He brings the news, explaining that someone is looking for Rei.
