Chapter 49
Recap:
"That's Hak, the one with a scary face" I laugh and point at Hak. "That's Jake, he wins the spot of scary faced number 2" I laugh once again as Jake glares at me. Then I turn to Yun. "Okay that's Yun, the mother of the family" I grin at Yun but he just brushes it off and waves at Shinah, "Yo" Shinah nods his head. I then turn to Yona and smile at her, "This is Yona, She's a really good friend so I hope you both too become good friends" Last but not least that's Kija" I point at Kija. he looked at me slightly shocked, wonder why. All of a sudden everyone starts laughing at Kija, even Kai and Shinah were laughing slightly. I look at them all confused. "What's so funny?"
........................
I shake my head ignoring them, "SO!" I say rather loudly. Everyone stops laughing and looks at me. "Should we leave this place now? I've kind of had enough of caves for a while" I say with an awkward smile. Everyone but Kai and Shinah nods, I look at them "Kai, Shinah?" Kai pressed his finger against his lips and hushed us all, he nodded his head toward the exit of the cave. I turned to see shadows of the villagers. "It won't be that easy getting out now that were here" He pointed at himself and Shinah. I look down as I remember the pain that they both went through in the village, I have to get them out!, I think to myself.
Before I was able to say anything Hak stepped forwards slamming his spear onto the ground indenting it. "So how do you propose we get out?" he spoke with a serious tone which was kinda surprising I hadn't actually be that serious... "We split up into teams of two to escape, try not attacking but make sure to finish them if they attack you" Hak nodded agreeing with his idea. "Now who those teams are is the question" Everyone turned their heads to me. "Huh?"
Before the group could say who they wanted as their partner Kai said "No, the teams are as followed; Lizzy and Shinah, Hak and Jake, Yona, Yun and Kija to protect them both" I looked at Kai with a confused face, he didn't say his name. "I'm fine with the groups...but what about you Kai?" He walked towards me and lifted off his mask so I only I could see his pretty face, he was smiling at me. He took a lock of my hair into his hand and entangled it around his finger, "Lizzy its fine...I'll be the decoy to make sure you get to safety" I shake my head in denial. "N-no thats not right we should stick together!" He shook his head and smiled at me sadly before letting my hair go and placing his mask on his face. "Lizzy" he said in a solmn tone.I slowly nodded my head knowing he'd won the fight. "F-fine.."From his pocket he took the same golden mask he'd given me before. "Wear this" I didn't ask why and put the mask on as he said.
"Right then I'm the decoy hak and jake you back me up if it looks like i need it the rest escape through different exits we'll all meet up at the entrance to the village" Everyone nodded and did what they were told.
I turned to Shinah who was looking at the caves with his hand stuck out waiting for me, i smile through the mask and take hold of his hand. He squeezes it gently and whispers to me "don't worry I'll keep you safe" I nodded and huddled closer to him. It's weird, i feel really vulnerable at the moment and I've no clue why... I shake the feeling away as we enter the cave saying our goodbyes to the rest.
I take a deep breath, "i guess its time to start another journey" I grin mishevoulsy and say "well then Shinah"
