Chereads / THE LOTHIAN BROTHERS / Chapter 13 - CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Chapter 13 - CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Two horses rode fast across the grassy area, they were riding at full speed, since they were currently running away from certain people.

Sitting on the horses were Corizo and Zkora.

Behind them where more than twenty protectors, riding on their own horses.

" stop by in the name of the four masters of the four elements" someone shouted at them.

Corizo and Zkora ignored the statement.

Annoyed with that fact, the protector who was leading the chase brought out his arrow, he placed it on the string of the bow and draw, releasing the arrow.

The arrow was directed at Zkora, she moved her body to the side while riding her horse thereby avoiding the Arrow.

" drew your arrows" the leader instructed, the twenty protectors did as they were told, they drew their arrows at them and loose sending various arrows their way,

Corizo and Zkora were smart enough to avoid the twenty arrows while navigating through.

Ahead of them was the huge mighty gate, which was their main aim.

The left and right side of the gate was covered with huge walls, the wall was what covered the protectors land, it was set as a boundary for the mystic Falls.

Noticing that the gate was the aim, and without it no one will be able to leave mystic Falls, the leader gave out an order.

" CLOSE THE GATE"

The huge gate which seems like it has been closed for years, suddenly began to lower,

Corizo and Zkora widen their eyes at this, both decided to ride faster.

" faster" Corizo ugre the horses, it was as if the horses heard his voice, both pick up their pace.

More arrows kept on Coming their way,

Corizo rised his hand which was encircled with fire, he directed the flame towards the arrows.

The arrows fell to the ground after being burnt by the flame .

Finally they were close to the gate , but the gate was almost touching the Earth, Corizo did something, he lowered his horse on its side and made the horse slide in between the gate and the earth, Zkora on seeing this did the same.

" open the gate" the leader shouted after seeing Corizo and Zkora slide out,

" follow them" he gave out the order once the gate was open,

Zkora kept on riding without looking back, she doesn't want to know what exactly was happening behind her as her main aim was to get out of this place.

Corizo on the other hand was busy burning the  arrows that was sent their way.

Standing on the wall of the  boundary, was a girl with black hair, brown eyes, she was dressed in black as well, a bow was hanging behind her.

Casually she brought out the bow, took an arrow, she placed it on the string of the bow, she gazed from Corizo to Zkora then she pointed the arrow to the sky, and took a projectile shot.

Corizo and Zkora were still riding when suddenly Zkora slowed down, Corizo noticed it, he wondered why she suddenly slow down, dose she have a death wish? He wanted to complain until he saw the arrow stuck in her back.

" f* ck it" he cursed , he slowed down as well until Zkora got closer to him.

He looked behind wondering where the arrow came from until he saw a figure standing on the wall, he didn't need to be told who the figure was.

" Yara got Me" Zkora said with a nonchalant smile, Corizo supported her with one hand which he rapped round her waist, Zkora stiffed at it.

" I can take care of myself" she nagged and then urge her horse to go faster, Corizo shook his head at her, he was sure the girl was in pain, had it been another protector who shot her he wouldn't have bothered but it was Yara, that seems to have something within her.

The protectors chased them into the forest, yet they weren't showing any signs of letting go which angered Corizo, to the point of making him stop riding his horse, Zkora got Furious with him.

" are you insane? do you wish to die?"

As if to anger her more Corizo got down from his horse, Zkora was ready to scold him when she noticed how the winds were blowing uncontrollably around him, Strangely he placed his hand on the Earth waiting for the protectors to com ofe closer.

His eyes were fixed ahead, then he sighted the protectors coming with full speed,

Just then the earth began to shake at his command, Zkora was surprised.

' what the hell!' she could only say,

Even the protectors were amazed at it.

The ground was shaking uncontrollably which caused most of them to fall  off their horses, and for some strange reasons Zkora was still able to regain her balance.

She rised her head and stare at Corizo, who was suddenly doing something only an earth bender can do.

But this is not earth bending, it seems like all he does was give the earth command at it obeys him.

Zkora noticed how his hair was radiating Blue,

Right there Zkora knew that Corizo was no protector, then what is he?

Another ground trembling brought Zkora back to her senses.

" hey boy we gat to leave" she said, her voice shaking alongside the Earth.

Corizo wanted to ignore and continue with what he wanted to do,

Then the ground opened,

A  painful groan from Zkora made Corizo stop whatever thing he was doing and look her direction.

" let's get you out of here"

Gently he reached for her, he got unto her horse since hes' ran away due to the ground shaking, he held the rein from behind her while carefully avoiding the arrow, he felt the urge to pull it out, but then he knew that, this was no ordinary arrow, even the pointed part was glowing.

" hayh" Corizo ugre the horse, due to the ground opening, the protectors couldn't follow them, they simply watch as Corizo and Zkora rode away into the wood disappearing from their sight.

" we must report to the masters what happened here" one of the protectors said.

" no we won't" Hira the leader said while looking at the direction that Corizo and Zkora disappeared from.
