Chapter 17 - I don't trust you!!!!!

Achlys tried to get back on her feet staggering. She looked at her palms and wondered what could have gotten wrong. 'The poison must have left, why is this happening?' she thought to herself.

She went closer to the large rock to look at it. It was...... ordinary, what did she expect? 'Let me try again'. She stepped back and put all her focus on the rock.

It was slowly shaking before move up slightly, she smiled but as she continued to lift it her power repulsed again with greater force and almost knocked her out.

This time she was scared, 'why does my powers keep repulsing? Didn't she already cure me?' she thought. Just then she heard she heard footsteps behind her. She quickly turned around and found someone behind a tree looking at her. He wasn't wearing their uniform but he seemed strangely familiar.

She remembered him, those eyes, "I've met you before" she said keeping a safe distance.

He looked indifferent before responding in a cold tone, "I didn't ask you. You seem better that means you've met her". Hilde eyed him cautiously and stepped back.

"I don't know what you are talking about" she replied. "Where is she? I don't have time" he said.

"Who are you talking about? I don't know anything" she answered and even though she tried hard to hide her fear her voice was still shaky.

He moved from the tree and started walking towards her slowly. If she wasn't going to answer him honestly it means that she knew where she was and he would have to make her tell him"

"Do you not want the antidote to the poison? I will give it to you if you answer me honestly" he said.

"I'm not poisoned"

He smiled a brief and vicious smile. If this is what she was planning on doing he would play her game.

"Is that so? You can still say that after what happened to you. I guarantee you have to be bleeding before you admit that you're heavily poisoned and I'm the only one who can cure you. She just suppressed it for a while"

Achlys looked up at him, he can't be up to any good. "Why are you looking for her?" she asked.

"You don't have to know that"

"Of course I need to, I can't just tell you without knowing your intention. You tried to kill me and she saved me. Doesn't that make her your enemy? Besides, I'm annoyed with the way you are talking right now to someone who would have died days ago because of you. Shouldn't you apologize first?" she said and immediately the cold gaze returned to his eyes.

"Do you also realize how annoyed I am because of this long conversation I'm having with a human" he said.

Achlys laughed ignoring his tone, "do you talk to animals then?" she asked.

"Probably, if you're one" he said. Achlys grimaced at him, she was definitely not going to tell him anything no matter what. He was a scoundrel, could it be because he was so powerful at a young age. How arrogant!!!

"You seem to be unaware of something very important and that is I don't trust you. Because of this reason I can't and won't be of any help to you poison or not" she said with an air of finality and was about to leave.

"Do you think it'll be easy to get to stonage palace before the poison start taking it effect"

Achlys stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him but he had disappeared. "How did he....."

"Achlys!" Naomi shouted when she finally found her after looking for a long time.

Achlys turned to look at her as she ran towards her. "What are you doing here? I've been looking for you" said Naomi.

"Did something happen?" she asked. Naomi removed a white sheet of paper that was folded. "We got our first mission"

Cellus walked around the city hoping to detect Anelle. This wasn't really the time for her to be wandering around, it was already close to that time of the year when her illness was fully triggered.

She had been on the brink of death as soon as she was born but he had prolonged her life to this age. She was always to careless maybe it was time for her to die after all. He was about to go back before he noticed someone who was covered in all black had been watching him.

He turned to look at whoever it was but the person was quick to notice him and hid himself.

Cellus didn't see anyone but he wasn't convinced. He kept on walking and just as he expected the person followed, he planned to lure the person in a place where he wouldn't be able to hide.

He walked until they reached a closed street then he suddenly disappeared. The man following him quickly ran forward in a panic not realizing he had fallen into a trap. Cellus quickly paralyzed his powers so that he wouldn't be able to escape before he revealed himself.

"Who are you and why are you trailing me?" he asked walking towards him. The man let out a low, vicious chuckle in response. Cellus grabbed his neck angrily strangling him. "Do you think I am joking with you?" he said.

This time the man stopped laughing and had a look of surprise. "How did you touch me?" he asked. "Are you shocked because of that? Don't worry I can also kill you" he replied strangling him the more and just then he felt a dart cut through his hand making him release the man.

He turned to look at where the attack came from and saw Donyc standing behind him.
