" I JUST WANT TO RIP YOUR IRRITATING HEAD OFF " I shouted hitting him in his back .
" Lilyanna , I am your last hope here ! At least , treat me with some kindn- OW !" He gasped when I jumped on his back clutching his t-shirt tightly in my hand . He shuffled a bit but managed to balance both of us on his two legs .
" Drop the nickname , or I am not coming down "
" What are you , six , Lilyanna ?" He tease back and this time I head bump him .
" Alright , time to come down !"
" Nah , I am actually comfortable " I close my eyes contented and the next second you know , I am lying on the dusty ground . How can he just push me off it ?
However , being a gentlemen , he helped me up on my feet and actually checked me if I am hurt or not . Maybe , I judged him too quickly , without knowing him . ' It was wrong to do so , Emily ' I mentally scold myself and pinch my hand as a punishment .
" Let's play a game until we find a way out " He suggests pushing himself off a tree while I assisting myself .
" Not that I have anything better - Voice the fantastic idea " I mock back .
" We ask each other questions so we get to know each other better "
" Sure , buddy "
" Favourite flower ?" I asks him first .
" It's very close to me at the moment " He wiggles his eyebrows at me in the end .
" Can you please stop being so cheesy cause its not working ?" I just wanna puke right now but can't deny it felt nice being told some words like this .
" That's two questions and the answer is no " He winks at me playfully .
Yup , I am gonna throw up ! Forget what I said about that warm feeling inside my chest .
" My turn - Whom do you like better - Mia or Aastha ?"
Without any hesistane , I reply " That's one I can't answer , I love both of those idiot's the same and wouldn't change them for anything . They literally mean the world to me and we are attched by hips since kindergarden . Can't even imagine the life without them "
Ohhh , I forgot to tell you where we are ! Well , we lost the other three and are roaming in the forest . I don't know how it happened we just weren't able to hear them anymore . Don't panic , there is nothing to worry . It's not some movie where we don't have signal or not know our way out . I message Mia telling her we are lost and will find them soon , just look for the Castle we are trynna find the same.
" Which animal would you like to adopt " I asked when it was my turn .
" A monkey "
" A monkey ? Why in the world ?" Is this boy stupid or something , who pets a monkey ? I will have to get him checked once out of here .
" They are funny and adorable , so yeah ! You ?"
" Either a dog or a Panda "
" Beach or mountains ?"
" Mountains "
" Any siblings ?" I questions genuinely curious .
" Yeah , a irritating jerk - Timpu "
We continue this game of 'get to know each other better' for a few more minutes when I suddenly see something lying on the ground in not the most comfortable position , if you ask me .
I rush forward to help whoever it was , when I stop in my tracks .
NO . NO . NO . I continue this banter in my head trying with all my might to look past the two objects lying there but it look like my body betrayed my mind . This is not true , I just received a text from them , they are fine , actually good .
" Lilyanna " I hear a distant voice in the background .
I am lost , not knowing what to do . While looking at the dead bodies of my beloved has left me in a trance , I can't even cry , my mind is just ....
..
...
.....
.....
....
Blank .
I feel someone shaking my shoulder furiously , shouting my name again and again, and then I lost it . My legs became jelly and can't hold the weight of my body any longer .
I felt numb for a few seconds when all the sweet memories I had with them rushed back into my head . The Kindergarten , Mia saving me from bullies , Aastha a complete nerd , the hundreds of sleepover , Aastha's first date , snow ball fight's , their melodious laughs , their voices -
" EMILY WILLSON , YOU HEAR ME THIS INSTATNT " Upon hearing the voice of Aastha , I look at my surroundings in horror , shaking my head from left to right , looking for that pure face , when I see them .
Right in front of my eyes , is my phone , on the FaceTime are those two idiot's whom I thought were dead . The phone is hold eye-level for me by none other than Liam , his face stretched into worry .
" We are alive " Aastha confirmed while looking me dead in the eyes .
" It would take more than that for kill this tigress 'Mia' " Mia clarifies holding her fists in the air .
The sigh of relief that left my body that second can't be described . It was as though , a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulder at the sound of their voice .
" Merlin Girls " I whispers taking the phone from his hand and trying to mesmerized their smiling faces .
Our hands brushed a little in the task , and the warm feeling came back , but it is far from my concern at the time .
After disconnecting the call , I took some time for myself , clearing away all the negative thoughts .
" Thank you " I say to him , meaning it from my full heart .♡

" RUN , LILYANNA , RUN " Liam screamed to me , sprinting all the way into woods , pulling me fastly behind himself .
" I AM NOT A BLOODY LEOPARD " I screamed back at him .
Why are we screaming ? And running ? Well , we are trying to run away from Liam's fear that is a freaking Lion .
We were just walking when we heard the roar of a lion , looking sideways we saw what we were looking for and then ... RAN !
RAN FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LIVES !
RAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD !
Sprinting far into the woods , I stumbled into a chest when warm hands wrapped around my waist saving me from the fall .
" Easy there , cousin " Carlos grins , helping me stand back .
" Good , we found you guys " I hug him happily while he pats my head uncomfortably muttering ,' yeah , yeah kid ' .
I run happily into the open arms of lovely besties and hold onto them for dear life ,
Breathing in their scents .
" Glad to have you back , Emi " Aastha whispers lovingly into my one ear .
" My partner-in-crime is back " While Mia whispers in the ear .
" Why were you guys running like idiot's here ?" Carlos question , patting his best mate on back .
" Ahh , running from a lion "
" Happens every other day , right " We both say in sarcasm.
A sound in the background caught our attention .
There stood some guards dressed in royal blue and gold uniform , pointing their arrow at us .
" Alright , Mia it's your turn to overcome your fear " I praise Mia to step forward .
" WHAT , NO ?" She screams .
I didn't got the time to ask her what she meant by that when an arrow just missed our ears by centimeters .
" Who fears them ?" Carlos asks .
" Guys , RUN " Aastha commands everyone and we took off in the opposite direction of the guards .
" WHY ARE WE RUNNING ?" Mia asks , dodging a fallen branch of a tree .
" THEY ARE THE GUARDIANS , PROTECTIVE THE HISTORIC CASTLE OF CRYSTALIA " She replies .
We all came to a halt suddenly because in front of us
IS
A
CLIFF .
" What do we do ?" Aastha questions in panic , hearing the upcoming footsteps of guardians .
I look around trying to find a way or to see a miracle coming to save us . Alright , dramatic much !
" We Jump " Carlos says measuring the depth of cliff .
" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ?" Mia questions .
" There's water there. We will be fine "
Upon not seeing any other way , we all nod our heads in agreement holding each other's hand . This was inevitable . Either jump or die in the hands of guardians .
" I SWEAR IF I DIE , MY GHOST WILL HAUNT ALL OF YOUR DREAMS " I threatens .
" I WIL KILL YOU CARLOS " Mia murderously says .
" TELL MY PARENTS I LOVE THEM " Aastha pleads .
Yeah , we are dramatic .
After saying our last words , we jump off the cliff waiting patiently for the water down there .
