The three were tightly tied so as not to escape. Then, they were herded and mercilessly pushed into a room that was very low in light. It does not have to be gagged to be silent, the three are no longer able to dwell because many weapons lurk.
“Dare to get out of here, means you guys are looking to die!” threaten one of the hordes of strangers whose face is not clear.
The three of them sat against the wooden wall and obeyed the stranger without rejection. Aesira shifted her position to a corner of the room, letting Rui lean her head against her shoulder, faintly the girl hissing as she held the wound on her leg due to being scratched by the coral reef. The girl had unknowingly turned pale in face, she had already lost a lot of blood and needed extra handling for that leg.
“I limp once, Ae. It seems, without me having to step from this place too, I feel like I will die,” said Rui slowly.
“Hei! What are you talking about, Rui? You have to survive, you have to live! Promise me you won't say anything like that again!” nagging Aesira so that the girl next to her still held back consciousness.
Aesira cupped Rui's cheeks. Clearly the surface of his best friend's skin was cooling. Worried, Aesira rushed to move the body of her best friend who had no response.
“Rui! Rui! Do you dare to leave me?! Wake Rui! Wake up!” yelling Aesira who immediately drew a response Kay who had earlier resisted sleepiness.
The man raised Rui's limp hand next to him then, feeling the girl's weakened pulse. Knowing that, he let go of Rui's hand.
“You! Our friend is sick! Can we ask for help?!” kay shouted making the two guards with his spear outside the door look back.
“Hei! Aren't you human too? Where does your compassion for other humans lie? We just ask for help for our friend!”
Again, the words of the man in the box circulated the identities of the two guards. They are not allowed to act without orders. Otherwise, their lives are at stake.
“Already, Kay. Asking them for help would be in vain. We better free ourselves from this rope then, we take care of Rui.
Aesira and Kay work together to get rid of the money rope shackling their hands and feet. With the effort plus the lack of lighting, they take a little longer.
Once free, Kay recalled that she kept a small flashlight in one of her jacket pockets. He hoped the flashlight would light up even though it had been submerged for some hours. He tapped the tip of the flashlight to the floor several times.
“Come bark. I'm in need of your help,” muttered Kay.
“Forget with that flashlight, now the most important thing is Rui.” Aesira rubs her hands and transfers warm air to Rui's hands and cheeks. The unconscious girl sounded shivering.
Kay lowered her flashlight. However, the flashlight immediately lit up when he placed it on the wooden floor.
“Thank God, on!” Girang Kay's.
Aesira was a little relieved by the coming of this light. From then on, he refrained from his fear of the darkness. Because he felt, for now he had no time to think of himself to be afraid but rather, he had to put forward a fiery feeling of courage. His two friends, sacrificing themselves to this strange place without fear just to help him, therefore he must persevere in bringing them out as quickly as possible. But before that, he will find first the ins and outs of the place where almost the entire plant is black.
Kay's flashlight was pointing around. There's nothing in that place. He snorted slowly and then, turning off the flashlight again.
“I agree with the greeting, Rui. Presumably, we will die here,” Kay languidly said.
Hearing that, Aesira stopped her hand that was rubbing Rui's palm to warm up. He straightened his legs and leaned. His face lowered with a feeling of guilt gathered on his chest.
“Sorry, because of me, you guys should be in a place like this.”
Silent. Kay did not reply to the girl across.
Aesira raised her face and successfully made her tears fall. “I'm the one who deserves to die. Because from the beginning, since my mother left, my life has been dead.”
Aesira lowered her head again, she smiled at a glance. Water on the surface of the eye.
“Yes, you're right. And, to be able to conquer obstacles, we must be able to become strong.”
“Maybe, you have to be strong, Ae. Turn to be strong,” said Kay sage. He was about to press the santernya to light up again because he heard the movement from outside. However, the flashlight is back on strike.
“What's up, Kay?”
“There's a swarm of people leading to this place again, Ae.”
Kay stood guard by putting on the stance of the horses. While Aesira, she tightly hugs the unconscious Rui at the corner of the wall to protect the girl.
“Sial! Why are you so useless! Comeon! We need your light!” swear Kay by still banging the tip of the flashlight into the palm of the hand.
The clattering of the legs sounded louder, signaling their position that was getting closer to the place of confinement.
At the end of the struggle, Kay throws the original flashlight that she did not use to any place. And that, even makes the flashlight back on.
“Sucks!” Kay's right leg was raised, but she quickly retreated back in front of her two friends when the two door leaves opened abruptly and presented the people with a robe, a black hood, and a black hood, and face coverings.
Kay strengthened the position of her horses and was ready to attack. However, the three people in the back row just snatched Kay's body very easily.
“Hei! Don't you guys get sick my friends!” yell Kay.
“What are you doing?! Just go! Just hurt me!” Out of annoyance, the one person who was holding him gave one punch and managed to knock him unconscious.
The black-nosed people continued to add steps to where Aesira was holding Rui tightly. Aesira turned her face away while closing her eyes. In his heart, he was resigned if bad things happened.
“Yeah God, am I going to die? Is this the end of my life? This is?”
All of a sudden, Aesira pulled up and made her embrace separate from Rui.
“Let me go! Release him! Don't separate me from Rui! He's sick! Release!” shouted Aesira while continuing to rebel earlier the muscular hands that held him.
Aesira's breath was hunting when she faintly knew that there was someone in front of her exactly a watermelon from her face. That guy, take something out of his coat. A white ball with instantaneous light could illuminate the entire room. But miraculously, Aesira did not feel glare at all with the light.
“Welcome and happy fighting, Aesira,” said the person in front of Aesira who from her tone can be sure a woman. The four people wearing the black hood together stood firm and made a perfect line. Aesira herself is still frozen because the identity of her name is known to foreigners in this strange place.
When the four men took off their coats and also lowered their face cover, Aesira was made to gawk and could not speak for a moment.
“Ka-you?”

......Hayo ... This last word is about 'you' who Aesira means? What do you want to do, no?🤔😆......
