Alex woke up from his sleep by sound of alarm.It was still night grandpa max was no where to be seen.Yesterday,grandpa max before leaving told him to set alarm of 4'o clock.
Alex was still sleepy rubbing his eyes he stood up goes to bathroom and fresh up,haze also woke up from sound beina beast she has very sharp senses.
After wearing clothes he went out to look for grandpa .When he opens the door he saw granpa looking at him and smile.This smile was containig soke secrets and mischievousness.
Haze has changed her position now she was sitting on Alex head.He went near grandpa grandpa stopped smiling and said to him
"Alex just follow me."
Grandpa max started to walking into forest in North direction after 5 min he stopped on a small cliff and pointed down the cliff.
Alex was standing with his grandfather watch down the cliff,field with long grass cane to view and suprising part was that around the field,path was drawn on the field.
"Alex you don't have stamina and strength in your body let first work on your stamina go down the cliff and take this ear piece with you."
Alex started walikng down the cliff half way he started breathing heavily,He some how managed to reach bottom the cliff.He was completely drenched in sweat.He sat on the ground.
After two minutes grandpa voice came to his ear he said
"Alex you see path infront of you continue running on it don't stop or you will not get food"
Alex watch the field infront of him cold wind making the long grasses dance.He stood up on his legs .With each step he gather determination to run .He started running on his path,after 15 minutes he started to sweat and making wheezing sound.
After next 15 minutes he was running without with his dizziness he started to feel he can collapse any minute ,but he continue running in his vision only grasses were swinging suddenly all thing near him started to dance and next movement he fall unconscious.
Alex when wake up he saw his surrounding he was still on the same muddy floor haze was lying on his forehead.He stood up dusted his clothes before he could gain full scene about his surrounding grandpa voice rang in his ear.
"Alex you want the food you can have it but you have to find it yourself."
Alex sighed and sat down his stomach started growling,demanding for food Alex didn't no what to do.
Alex said to himself "I am hungry "
Haze jump on his lap then on his shoulder and rub her face against him and in low voice she said "chirp*
Then haze started walking in forest which was just close of the field.The forest entrance was type of horror creepy vines was over all the trees climbing from one tree to another.
Alex saw haze dissapearing in forest.He didn't even have power to stand up to follow her.He laid down and closed his eye.But before he can drift to sleep,his ear picked up sound of grasses shaking, he saw Haze dragging fruits with her and brought it near him.
Alex immediately sat picked up haze and caresses her and kept her on his lap.Haze closed her eye.Haze was tired she directly went to sleep.
Haze has brought a five fruits with her but with her small body she could not carry all of them.she looked for a large leave tree,kept fruit oon it and dragged it here.
Alex ate three fruits they were yellow in colour Alex has never before ate such sweet fruit.Its taste was savoured by his mouth .He kept two fruits for haze.
As Alex stood up his ear piece ring up.He was still tired but some of the fruits has made it for him.Grandpa said only three words
"Start again running."
Alex remain standing for few minutes and start running again,this time when he was running it was different as now he was running with more confidence.
As soon as Alex start running a memory of forest came to his mind how helpless he was thinking that someone could help him.His eyes caught the fire with burning sensation he runs.
Again after sometime he collapse and grandpa know today's exercise will take a load on his body so he jumped down the cliff picked Alex ,corner of his eye went to haze later he picked her also and brought back to hut for rest.
In afternoon
Alex wakes up,found himself in the hut.Looked for haze sitting on the table eating food with grandpa.
Alex tried to stand up but he was unable to stand up.He was already suffering from alxythemia so he didn't feel a thing wrong with his body,he thought something was pulling him down.
But before he go more deeper in his thoughts grandpa max told him
"Lay there for one more hour then you can Stan up and eat,After eating come outside."
After an hour after eating food Alex goes outside the house.Grandpa max was weighing something the black Matt colour and a chest plate was kept near him.
Grandpa tells Alex to wear them each of them weight 2kg for the wrists while chest plate was 5 kg.
Alex wore them and was able to move but he froze when grandpa max told him to wear this always from now on,Alex hesitated for few minutes but later nodded.
Grandpamax took Alex too the same cliff and said to repeat the previous process.
He somehow managed to climb down more than half but his hand slipped unable to support anything he fall from height but there was no harm on his body because the distance wasn't much from where Alex fell.
Alex make his way too the field with his forehead sweating a lot and started running in next fifteen minutes he fall from exhaustion but wasn't fainted after 5 min break he again started running after 15 min he fall again unconscious.
In late night Alex woke up only to find out he wasn't able to stand again on his leg ,but when he watch down he knows why he was unable to stand up. He was still bearing the wrist weights and chest plate .
He waiter for another hour but he wasn't able to stand or move his hand or leg after another hour he was finally able to move and stand up and move to eat the food kept on table.
Haze and grandpa max both were sleeping peacefully while Alex was struggling to put food in his mouth after half an hour he finishes the food somehow and goes back to sleep with loud thump.
