Day Fifty...
~~*****~~
'No. Not now. I can't leave just yet...' Abigail thought to herself when she felt her pounding heart and throbbing head. It was the same signs and symptoms that she was going to leave Abigail's body.
She never imagined receiving a love confession from Nathan today. Furthermore, they were facing a life-threatening situation because of a certain sniper.
Their parachute got hit and Nathan lost control of its movement. They were falling very fast! Nathan was now aware of the great danger they were facing.
Nathan tried to remain calm. There was no way they could land properly without getting hurt. He prepared himself to protect Abigail. He hugged her body to shield her. But sooner or later, both of them would hit the ground.
'Damn it!' Nathan cursed inwardly. For the second time around, he was afraid... afraid of losing someone. The only thing on his mind right now was how he would protect Abigail.
"Abi... don't be scared. I got you." Nathan whispered in her ears as he tightened his grip on her body. He didn't hear any response from her.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The next thing that happened was both of them hitting several trees before they hit the ground. Nathan winced in pain and he felt the impact.
Break!
Crush!
Not only the branches, but he heard the breaking of bones. He got hurt as their bodies hit the rock. He was still hugging Abigail when their bodies continued rolling down from the cliff.
Nathan's heart sank when he saw Abigail's bleeding head and her unconscious figure.
"Abi... wake up..." Nathan tapped her face tenderly.
She needed their help. Her heart was about to burst from too much worrying about Nathan and Abigail.
"Bam-Bam! Are you here?!! Help me!" Phantomflake felt so desperate.
"Damn it! Where are the people here?" She tried to stand up but failed. Her legs were very weak.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes getting misty. She punched her legs several times. "You need to stand! Stand!" she said through her gritted teeth.
For the first time, Phantomflake felt so helpless. But her desire to save Nathan and Abigail was strong.
With all her strength, She crawled toward the door. She had to tell someone that Nathan and Abigail were in danger.
Just when she reached the door, someone finally entered the ward. Cherry was surprised when she saw Phantomflake on the floor. She immediately bent over to help her.
"Sissss! You're awake!" Cherry was so happy. She hugged Phantomflake as if there was no tomorrow. But there was no time to rejoice.
"Sis, don't be afraid. You are safe here. No one will try to hurt you." Cherry comforted her, thinking that Phantomflake was trying to escape.
But Phantomflake shook her head. "Black Rose... where is Stephen? Call him now. ASAP!"
Cherry was taken aback for a moment when Phantomflake mentioned Stephen. How did she know she was in Stephen's place? She could remember Stephen now?
"Go, Black Rose. Find him now!" Phantomflake pushed her away from her. Cherry could feel the sense of urgency in her voice.
Cherry set aside her confusion. She had to follow Phantomflake's order. She was about to leave when Phantomflake held her elbow thus stopping her.
"Sis?"
"Inform Stephen that Nathan and Abigail are in danger. He needs to conduct a search and rescue mission in Caceres Hill and the surrounding forest." Phantomflake didn't want to waste any more time. Cherry should tell Stephen right away about Nathan's and Abigail's situation.
Cherry: "..."
"Go, Black Rose. We are running out of time. The two might die!" Phantomflake commanded her with her authoritative voice.
"O-Okay... Sis!" Cherry immediately left the room, looking for Stephen.
When Cherry left, Phantomflake leaned on the wall, closing her eyes. She was silently praying that Nathan and Abigail were safe.
'I swear... once I regain my strength, I'll catch that sniper... and the person behind him!'
