Reappearing in the woods made Cole to almost loss his balance, he looked up to the sky which was completely covered by the shades of the tree branches.
" D*mm it " Corizo cursed, Gloria and Cole turned to look at him.
" what is it ?" both asked in Union,
" we're in HK, quick move " Corizo said, Gloria and Cole saw the seriousness in his voice, thus both began to move faster.
" where is HK ?" Cole finally asked.
" hunters kingdom , duck " Corizo shouted, the twins were quick to react, the ducked immediately.
more than six arrows flew pass them.
" can't you teleport us out of here ?"
" unfortunately I can't, magic doesn't work in HK "
Corizo made them rise up and began to run, they were running as fast as they could.
few arrows came flying their way, Corizo was smart to avoid it.
then he sighted a vortex shedding light on the other side of the wood.
he made a turn towards the direction of the vortex, mentally Gloria and Cole followed him.
" ahhhh" Cole screamed in pain.
Gloria and Corizo looked behind them, Cole has been shot on the leg.
" Cole!!!!" Gloria screamed as another shot him in the shoulder.
just then noises were heard coming towards them.
" mystical hunters, we got to go " Corizo told Gloria.
" I can't leave without my brother " she tried to run over to him, but Corizo held her tight from behind.
" he will be fine " he told her, he dragged her towards the vortex and before she knew it he threw her in, he turned towards Cole.
" if anything happens to my sister I will kill you " Cole warned, Corizo for some reason nod his head before he walked into the vortex as it closed.
Cole was struggling to get on his feet was suddenly surrounded by fifty people mostly men.
" who are you?" someone from the crowd asked him, he tried to find out who it was but he couldn't see the person until finally, the crowd made way for a man .
" Cole Reynoldsburg " he answered in between his teeth.
the man looked at him from head to toe.
" scan him for proper confirmation " a girl came out from the crowd, Cole narrowed his eyes at her, she was holding a circular machine, he didn't know what it was or how it works.
the girl dropped the thing on the ground, she began to walk over to him, Cole kept on observing her with his keen eyes, she stopped before him, force Cole to twist his head to the left, then she Pierced him with a needle.
" ahhhh!!!! what the f *ck ?" Cole asked, she freed his head, ignoring him she took the needle and placed it inside the machine, Cole saw how it spin the needle which contain his blood in a circular motion, before it stop to show a green light.
" he's human " the girl said,
Cole signed in anger.
" what do you think I am ?" he asked in an annoyed .
" what are you doing here ?" the one who seems to be the leader asked.
" someone took my sister away from me " Cole said in between his teeth, he was angry, can't these people see that he's hurt and losing blood.
" do you know who took her ?" the leader asked,
" how was I supposed to know, as you can see, you guys shot me even before I could save her " Cole hissed at them.
" take him to the healer " the leader instructed, Cole was lifted off his feet by two man who carried him away.
" do you think his sister is one of the mystical rider we had about ?" the girl who tested Cole whispered to the leader.
" I guess we have to find out " he replied staring at Cole who was been carried.
**********
the purple vortex opened in a sandy desert, Corizo and Gloria fell out of it to the ground.
Gloria was the first to get up, she launched at Corizo immediately hitting him with all her strength.
" you bloody Bas*erd, how dare you leave my brother in that wood to die " she screamed at him while hitting him.
Corizo finally held her arm while sitting upright and made her to look at him.
" your brother isn't going to die, the mystical hunters are only after mystical creatures, therefore your brother is safe, all he needs to do is come up with a plan that can save him " Corizo told her , she calmed down a little.
" why couldn't you use your powers in HK ?"
" it's forbidden, not just that, the place is under some kind of protection sealing every single person's power, except for mystical riders" he explained to her, he got up from the ground and so did Gloria.
he looked around the Sandy desert and so did Gloria.
" so where are we ?" she asked him.
" Verde Valley " he replied and began to walk ahead, shrugging his shoulder, Gloria took a glance round the environment before she followed him .
She was already tried, her body ache like hell, since last night she has slept well and now everything is just too overwhelming for her, she was feeling norm and dizzy, she knew she was going to pass out if time is not taken, she simply need rest from all this, which made her wonder how long this is going to take.
what if it last for like for ever.
At the thought of it Gloria widen her eyes.
" how long is this going to take ?"
" what ?" Corizo asked, his tune was harsh ,it was clear that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Gloria notice his tune but still she ignored it.
" are we going to keep running forever ?" she asked frustrated.
Corizo looked up to the sky, he noticed that the moon was gradually fading away from the sky, he did looked at her to notice that ray of the moon light on her has fade away .
" until Dawn" he told her .
Gloria was some how relieved, at least this won't last forever.
