Chapter 25 - AM I PRISONER?

He sought revenge for his little brother that captured by him six month ago. His little brother was spying the west's fortress when he was captured. Based on information he got, they starved and tortured him to death in order to get the information from him, hence the information that his brother divulged gave huge impact to his army. They lost a war and territory.

He intended to do the same to them. That was why when he heard Lieutenant Utara was in the east forest training fortress with small bunch of training army, he crossed the border line with a thousand soldiers and made a blockade, killed every person who stepped out of the training fortress.

He thought after this six day they had lost contact from outside, they would be desperate enough to launch a futile attack, but he never thought that they made this move.

Just for that fact alone, a burning flame rammed inside his mind, make his expression darkened bit by bit.

He fooled me!

Senja was laid back lazily on the hard mattress at her small tent when she heard they had started the attack and still didn't move when the soldiers cheerfully notify their fellows that their strategy successfully executed.

She began set her next step.

Find that 'thing'. Find Yun. Go home. Sounds simple and easy, maybe I am able to go home by next week?

She couldn't imagine how furious her brothers when they found out she was missing.

First thing she would do when she come back was sought explanation from the old lady about how she was able to throw her back to the past era. Is she really a witch?

If she thought about this again, it was quite cool! When she came back, she would ask the old lady to deliver her to certain era. Treat it as a vacation.

Senja didn't know how the old lady got this kind of power, but as the saying goes 'there are many mysteries in this world that still unexplainable'. So, she shrugged her shoulders and decided to enjoy and survive from her current situation.

It wasn't like she couldn't come back, right? All she need were to find Yun and give him that 'thing'.

With that in her mind she sat up straight, stretched her body to relax her muscle then went out from the tent.

The first person she met was Yoda, who stand beside her tent's door.

"Are you planning to stand there a whole night?"

"No. someone will come to replace me later."

"Okey." Senja said nonchalantly and walk passed him.

"Where are you going?" He blocked her way but didn't dare to make a contact.

"Armory store, I dropped something there"

"No. you can't go."

"May I know why?"

"Lieutenant Utara said you need rest in your tent."

"I am resting enough. Thank you." Senja said and moved to another side however Yoda kept blocking her.

"Did he say that I can't go out from my tent?"

Yoda thought about it for a while, but in the end he shook his head. Lieutenant Utara indeed didn't say such thing to him before.

"Did you know that one of the master minds of that explosion's strategies was me?"

"Yes, I know." He said it almost like a whisper.

"Don't you think that it proves me that I am not a spy?"

He nodded slowly.

"So, what do you think am I? A prisoner?"

He rattled his head.

"So why are you treating me like I am a prisoner and refuse to let me go?!" She said it with berated tone while put her hands on her hips.

"No, the thing is…" He stuttered and looked trouble.
