Chapter 47 - facing the storm

We have moved only few meters when air pressure was so fast our clothes were badly torn leaving many sharp incised wounds on our body, there was a time when it was difficult to check each other's presence let alone find where we were going. Holding each other's hands we just placed one foot in front of each other. At one point Zee stumbled and fell down now our only choice were to bend our heads down and crawl forward. I could feel my hands were bleeding. But we knew that if we stopped our death was sure.

In this frenzy at one point I felt someone touching my shoulder than my hands were grasped and that person's hands were not similar like that of Zee and Zen. I had a feeling of panic in my heart.I tried to shake off the hand but not only the hand was firm but it pulled us in one direction. I was about to resist when I thought either I am gonna escape this place or die here. Even if this person wants to pull me some place else nothing can be worst than that.

After walking randomly we reached another cave when we entered the person closed the door with a huge boulder which he moved easily I was too amazed by his strength. When he turned I finally found the person who helped us, he was the same beard man. I looked at him confused why would he help us and how did he find out we were here when we ourselves can't find each other.

I was thankful but not stupid enough to easily believe him. Before I could ask Zee and Zen moved fast as wind and one caught his neck another punched his popliteal fossa. He was down on his knee but his face never became tensed it was as if he was swatting irritating flies not heavily armed and trained soldiers.

"I have heard hell hath no fury than a woman scorned, but I have not earned any scorn among you ladies infact I suppose I saved you" he said with a cheeky grin. I held his cheek and said " it may appear you saved us but we both know it would have been impossible to find us in that sandstorm, how did you know our location".

He gave an innocent smile " actually I chose to travel solo when I too was stuck in sandstorm and coincidentally I felt another presence and viola there was your hand and here we are". I looked at him to check his ticks and find out if he was lying but his beard hid most of his face and it was difficult to see anything with his blank eyes.
