The power that my entire body had a few minutes ago vanished, and I can feel it. My fists are severely injured and I think my phalanges cracked. I'm striving to recoup my ephemeral superpower while Silo is approaching. He grabbed my leg and swiftly lifted me. I had a feeling that my body was about to be amputated when I suddenly heard a heavy crash sound. Silo plummeted and in the process, he dropped me and I brutally fell. I was severely injured. My entire body was in pain. I feel a bit dizzy. My face is bleeding including my arm and leg.
Though my body was aching badly, I was overwhelmed to see Zaire. He is the one who knocked down Silo with his spear. Zaire wasn't stopping on Silo. Using his golden spear he was taking down any clay man that dared to step closer. I thought I was strong and fast, but watching Zaire fight made me realize that I'm nothing. He was stronger, faster, and more agile. I can't forget handsome on this list.
"Zendaya are you okay?", inquired Zaire while he's still knocking down those clay men.
"Yes", I simply replied.
I was glad that Zaire came to my rescue. Only if he had come moments ago, then my body wouldn't be aching this much. I'm, however, still very upset about how he deserted me. When he is done here, he will have to start explaining himself.
Oh, I forget that Silo and these other clay men don't get defeated. You crush them and they raise again. Zaire wouldn't be able to defeat them unless he has unique powers or a good strategy.
Zaire kept crashing the Stoney man and they kept raising. And the more they raise the stronger and faster, they became. I can see his body starting to glow sea blue, just like what to me earlier. What is happening?
"Zendaya, would you be able to run?"
"I think so"
" Then Run Zendaya, run", Zaire implored while still fighting the stone species.
"No, I not leaving you.", I insisted.
"Zendaya please leave here, run.."
"Yes, run Zendaya", an analogous voice expanded. The voice was similar to one in my nightmare. My uncle's voice.
"No, I'm not leaving you Zaire and I'm not going back to the village."
" Run, go back to the village", the voice berated."Now Zendaya."
"Listen to the voice, Zendaya just run"
I stood up and limped for a moment, and then pulled myself together as I started to run.*
"You are heading in the wrong direction, that is not the path that leads to the village" I heard the voice but continued to run in the same direction. The voice was the voice that was backing Zaire up. It is the voice of my dreams and probably my uncle's voice. I didn't heed the voice's warning simply because I intended to evade this part of the forest, not to retreat to my village.
" I'm not going back to the village.", I thought as I continued to run regardless of what my uncle said.
"Will Zaire be able to defeat the clayed people? Is he going to be fine?" This is what I was worried about as I feared for his life. What an awry situation I'm in.
I wasn't supposed to be here, in the Evil forest. I wasn't supposed to insult the King. I'm supposed to be the Queen of Amari. Right now I should be in my palace. But I'm not, which will not have been that terrible if Tom didn't betray and manipulate both Zaire and me. If Zaire didn't have to leave every night.

I'm continuing to run, or may I say to leap when suddenly a rough wind starts to blow. Clouds rapidly cover that little light that we got from the stars. Is darker and roughly the wind blows which made my body swing. I don't think that I will be able to survive this storm that is building up. I hold on to a tree and a strong lightning strikes, which made me run away from that tree but sadly I was trapped and fell brutally so. A raindrop on my body and I started to feel the outrageous pain.
"Help", I yelled while lying on the ground. The pain continued for a while, then suddenly I couldn't feel my body.

Tom is laying and wrapped his body peacefully around a tree. Full of contentment because of what will happen to Zendaya or what happened to Zendaya.He is thinking of a perfect excuse for Zendaya's disappearance when Zaire returns.
"Zaire, I don't know how this girl does it, I mean how is she able to run away from me like that. I swear I didn't hear her when she wakes up."
"Tom, how could you lose her again?"
"Sorry, Zaire it wouldn't happen again. I think that Zendaya has some kind of powers, just like you master."
"Are you saying that she is a witch because as far as I'm concerned she is just a common human?"
"You explain why she can speak to animals and why she left her home?"
"You are right, she is a witch"
"No, this is all wrong.", Tom finally breaks his evil foresight. " I have to think of something else"
Tom proceeded to think of the best reason for Zendaya's disappearance when Zaire comes back. According to Tom, Zaire will never find Zendaya, not even her corpse. This will be good for Tom, as it allows him to be Zaire's only friend.
While still plotting that perfect explanation, and practicing that award-winning act, a storm builds up. The sudden build of a storm meant one thing to Tom. Zaire or Faith is furious, and knowing Faith, it is light to be her. If It is not Faith, but Zaire, then why? That is what Tom was worried about."Could it be that Zaire located Zendaya? Did he find her dead or alive? What if he found her alive and that little crap spill the beans?", Tom started to do his maths.No matter what the truth is, Tom knew that he had to be prepared. He had to be in Zaire's good books and close to whatever mysterious power that Zaire has.
