One hour later.

Sabrina already finished folding her clothes and doing some cleaning around the chamber when Amara finally awakened. She went to her side. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Amara nodded her head and replied, "I'm fine..."

"What happened to you? We found you on the ground, unconscious," Sabrina said.

"After I'm done in the toilet, I return here only to have myself outbalance and hit my head on the rock and I passed out," Amara explained.

"I see... eat your lunch now," Sabrina said. She went to the table, picked up the plate, and put some food on it along with the fork and spoon, then handed it to her.

"Thank you," Amara said and accepted the plate, she began eating with gusto.

Minutes went by.

After Amara finished eating, Sabrina picked up the pitcher and poured water into the glass. "Here's your water..." she said.

"Thanks!" Amara accepted the glass and drink the water bottoms up.

Sabrina showed Amara the bottle. "This is a medicine given to me by Grandma Azere. She told me that once you drink it, your feet will heal faster. You should drink it," she said and gave the bottle to her.

Amara accepted the bottle, opened the lid, and drink the medicine in one go. "Wow, it tasted like honey! Thank you," she said.

Sabrina stared at Amara's face for a long time. "Are you okay, I mean... health wise?" she asked.

Amara sighed deeply. "To be honest, I'm dying..." she replied gloomily.

"What-!? Are you kidding me?" Sabrina asked.

Amara's eyes shimmered in tears. "I'm not joking. It's a long story, but anyways, let's not talk about that topic. I want to enjoy my life before my time runs out," she explained.

Sabrina's brows furrowed in confusion. "How can you enjoy your life when you are stuck here inside the cursed cave and can't get out?" she asked in bewilderment.

Amara looked at Sabrina in the eyes. "We can enjoy our life no matter where we are. It's just a state of mind. If you think you are sad, you will feel sad. If you want to be happy then you will be happy regardless of the place you're in. Our mind is powerful, it has the ability to give us the reality that we desire even if the world is crumbling around us," she explained in a serious voice.

Sabrina was speechless while staring at Amara's face. "Tell me more about your family..." she said curiously.

A cloud of sadness blanketed Amara's face and said, "My parents passed away last two months ago. In our tribe, all our elders passed away and I'm left with five siblings and fifty cousins. We are close knit tribe, like a big family," she explained.

"Ah, okay... I'm sorry about your lose," Sabrina said.

"It's okay. I have already come to terms with the pain of losing both my parents at the same time. I'm okay now," Amara spoke. "How about you? What is the story of your life?"

Sabrina took a deep breath. "To cut the story short, I'm an orphan, I don't know my birth parents. I got lost in the forest during the heavy rain, luckily I was found by Grandma Azere and took me under her wing. I live with her ever since. End of story," she quickly ended her narration.

"Oh... so you're an orphan, that's sad. Sorry to hear that," Amara murmured.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'm no longer sad about it," Sabrina said.

"So, what are your plans with Rhett? Are you going to stay here imprisoned in the cave until your dying days?" Amara asked.

Sabrina released a deep sigh. "Honestly, Rhett and I wanted to leave this cave. But there's a price to pay. Rhett is not yet clear regarding the mystery of the curse, but he told me once that kissing him on the lips can bring us out of the cave together, but I highly doubted that. I got the feeling that the witch who imprisoned him still needs someone as replacement once Rhett's leave the cave..."

"Whaaat-? You are both required to kiss each other so that you can leave the cave together?" Amara asked in bewilderment.

"Yeah..." Sabrina replied sadly.

"But why the two of you aren't doing it yet? You're already a couple... kissing each other on the lips is no longer a problem. So, if that is the only way... then do it!" Amara said.

Sabrina sighed. "So easy to do that... But I have a feeling that once Rhett and I will kiss, he will leave me behind in this cave. I don't want to be left alone here, I'm terrified staying in this dangerous place..." she said, raw fear shone in her eyes.

"If you won't do it! I will do it! I will kiss Rhett on the lips!" Amara said jokingly.

Sabrina's eyes darkened, she throws Amara a murderous look.

Amara saw anger flashing in Sabrina's face. She erupted into a merry laughter. "Hey, don't be angry, I'm just joking! You are too serious..."

Sabrina released a troubled sigh and glared at Amara. "Don't joke on something that can hurt other people. The kiss between Rhett and I is not a laughing matter!" she scolded her.

Amara stopped laughing, her face turned serious. "Alright, I'll stop joking. Seriously, I admire you because you have the ability to hold back your desire. If I'm on your shoes, Rhett and I already kissed each other and we already have done more than what is required. Anyways, it's your life... you got to live it according to your liking and desire..."

Sabrina looked at Amara in the eyes. "I want to ask you something and please answer honestly," she said.

"Okay, go on. Let me hear your question. What is it?" Amara asked.

"Are you attracted to my boyfriend? Do you like him? Do you find him handsome?" Sabrina asked.

Amara giggled. "Well since you want an honest answer then I'll tell you directly... Yes, I like Rhett, I'm attracted to him and I find him handsome. There you have it..."

Sabrina released a deep sigh. "I know it!" Anger flared in her eyes.

Amara looked at her. "Are you mad at me that I like your boyfriend?" she asked.

"Yes! So, please... stay away from him! I love him. I don't want to lose him!" Sabrina said, her eyes watered.

Amara was silent for a moment. "Alright, since you're nice to me, I'll stay away from Rhett. Don't worry, I won't seduce him," she assured her.

"Thank you!" Sabrina said, feeling relieved.

Amara smiled and began yawning. "I'm going to sleep for a while. The medicine that you give me makes me sleepy," she said, shutting her eyes to sleep.

Sabrina rose to her feet and left the chamber.

Surprisingly, having a heart-to-heart talk with Amara made her feel better.
