Hunt for Survival

Attack of trap

Shaurya

I was getting tired easily even though I was feeling energy within me and none of it was hurting me, but that was really making me get exhausted.

“Now you are behaving like that, none of the people over here are weaker than you.” He mocked me and I rolled my eyes. I sat down on the rock. “Someone was so furious about going ahead, but now looking back, he doesn’t even have the energy to cover a few kilometers.”

“Sometimes you give me the vibe of a lady of the house.” This time he rolled his eyes and sat beside me and took my hand in his and I quickly took away. “What are you doing?” I asked him while looking at him suspiciously.

“It is nothing as you are thinking. I am just checking your pulse.” He again took my hand and felt my pulse.

“It is good enough, but then why are you feeling exhausted?” I didn’t say anything. I sat on the stone for a while and neither of us said anything to break that silence.

“I guess I am good enough now. We can walk further.”

“You are weak a moment and in the next moment you are also ready to walk. What do you want to do?”

“I want to walk further despite knowing that I will have hard days moving forward.” He shook his head.

“Making you think about your health is as similar as shooing away a snake.”

“Hey, don’t compare me with a snake.”

“I am not because it would be shameful for snakes also to get compared with you.” I rolled my eyes when I heard him mocking me. By looking at him I always feel that he is someone who doesn’t like to speak a lot, but I was wrong. He speaks and that is sarcastic. “ By looking at me like that, your wound won’t heal and now I think you are alright. Then it is waste that we are over here and not moving further. We should get started with our journey once again.” He stood up and I also stood up and followed him.

The jungle we are walking in is not a normal one but a wonderful one, where every route will lead you to a new wonder which is only harmful but fun at the same time.

“By looking at the excitement on your face, I think that you are making the decision to remain over here only.” His words made their way into my war, which broke my thoughts and I looked at him.

“It is not like that. As my mother says, I can’t stay in one place for a long time and, many of the time, whenever I am used to being with my cousins, only I only play outside, but gaming makes me stay in one place.”

“I had just asked you a simple question but you are elaborating on it. I am not at all interested in knowing what you do in your personal life.” I looked away feeling a little bit embarrassed.

“I am sorry. I think that I talk too much.”

“You have thought just right because you really talk too much. You shouldn’t be talking so much as you still have to heal and save your energy or before we even reach a few kilometers you will be exhausted and I don’t want a comma in my journey.” I chuckled at his comment.

“You are really a savage one.” He just reminds me of him. Would he be glad if he knew that I have someone just like him in my life who sometimes thinks that he can dominate me and he thinks right? Just like you.

“Don’t go into your dreamland again and again or else you will hit yourself on something.” His voice was furious and I looked at him weirdly. I looked ahead and saw the tree into which my forehead was going to get bumped.

“You saved me.”

“No, I didn’t save a fool like you. But the tree. He must have got a hard blow with that face of yours.” I rolled my eyes. Then we were walking until I felt that the ground was starting to get dark and when I looked up, I saw the clouds, which were a mixture of black and red and yellow. They looked like fire floating in the sky.

“This is so cool.” I said to myself, and then looked at the front and saw big iron gates and large walls of fencing. If it were small, then I would have gotten inside it by jumping over it and I have so much experience of that.

There was a roar which shook me to the core with its sound, or may I say that everything inside me vibrated badly. It was the sound which was created by the collision of the clouds and, instead of lighting, there was a fire which came into view and that made me wonder if it rained. Then would it be rain or a ball of fire? I am pretty sure that it won’t be rain but something related to fire only.

“This fence and door is so big. How are we supposed to get inside?” I asked and he looked here and there.

“Don’t you think that this place is too quiet?”

“Why are you referring to that? This place must be guarded so well that there is a need for someone to guard it.”

“But then we have also just heard the bursting of a cloud and if we can see inside, there is no one who could be seen on our radar.” I looked through the gate and saw that there was indeed no one.

“Is this question even fitting over here?” I went towards the door and touched it and looked at him.

“It is safe over here.” I said to him and he looked at him with annoyed eyes but was expressionless, but his eyes went above me and widened and I also looked above and saw a sharp blade which was falling over me and at that moment anyone who would be standing in my place would get panic and I wasn’t odd one out.

“Leave.” He said and I wanted to move but it was as if my feet were not ready to go because of the fear which had held them, but would my standing over there help me? My hand collided with my waist and I remember about the knife and in a blink I took it out and made a strike and a golden light remembered out of the knife and collided with the blade and then it cut it fell in half and the pair fell either side of my side and that is when the fear which was holding my legs also left me.

“Are you okay?” He asked me and I nodded.

“I guess I am.” These knives were almost about my height and if they had come in contact with me then they would have sliced me in half but I was lucky enough to cut them in half fast and that is why I am standing over here and that, too, all too safe. I heard a low frequency of something that was coming in our way and I looked at my side and it was coming from the inside of the gate. My eyes widened a bit when I recognized what it was. It was the rain of the spear that was coming in our way. I took his hand and went towards the walls and a couple of spears passed through and some got bumped with the blade and had fallen only their only.

“We are not at all safe here.” Prashant said, and he looked up again, and I again looked up and saw that now they were raining over the wall. We went out of the place and ran in the front and I looked behind, but now, instead of falling on the ground, they were following us and I looked in front of the trees and I looked at him and he nodded and passed passed I guess we were thinking the same thing and we both took one passed passed and hid behind them and the arrows pass though us and I felt a something pointing near my waist. I looked behind and saw that one of the spears had almost torn open the tree.

I looked behind and saw that almost every spear was down and maybe now the ground was also safe. I stepped out of my place to see if it was really safe or not, but nothing happened and a smile tucked down my face and I looked at Prashant who was giving me a warning look and was indicating that I should be behind the tree right now. I shook my head.

“It is safe now.” I said to him and he was throwing draggers in my way and then I again heard a low sound of something and that was coming in my way only. I looked at him and made a sign that he should be behind the tree and he looked at me weirdly. I took out the knife and made a strike in the air and that cut open that arrow. Now that the spear has finished, they are attacking us with these arrows. This is childish, but I am unable to understand how I am able to hear such a low frequency of these objects.

Then there was another rain from those arrows.

“Shaurya get behind the tree as soon as possible. You can’t cut them every now and then and you are still too weak to fight for too long.” I heard his voice and he was worrying about me like a mother and I looked at him and smirked and his face was telling me that he wasn’t at all pleasant with my idea at all. I looked in front of me and they were already in my range. I took a back flip and started my strikes over them. I was indeed getting exhausted but these arrows were like that they don’t know the end. Suddenly, there was a heavier strike which made all the arrows go down and I looked back and saw Prashant who was standing over there and his hand was up and I looked at him weirdly.

“What are you doing?”

“I don’t know but there was something which pulled me to lift my arm and that made a strike which made them all blow up in a single strike.” I was confused at his words.

“Are you dreaming?”

“No I am not.”

“Then dude, you have super powers which are way much bigger than mine.” I said to him and he looked at me for a few seconds before he looked at his hand. I am not jealous that he was able to turn everything down in a single strike, but I am curious how he did that and maybe it will also reveal soon after all. Something takes to reveal him and, even if it takes time, then I will wait with patience.

“I am confused.”

“Just consider yourself that maybe you have found something which has made you gifted.” I said with a smile and he was like that he wasn’t ready to believe my words and I chuckled.
