Chapter 282: Awake

Chapter 282: Awake

Seeing the Demon Worshipers barrier finally go down again Lake was expecting for them to do the same thing they had last time but before the other formations could fire to kill any of the surviving Demon Worshipers he saw them make a break for it. Looking at the faces of the people in their group Lake could tell they had no intentions of going after them and neither did he. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

Going after them was one of the worst things you could do in a situation like this even if you were slightly worried about them bringing information on their group to whoever had sent them. For all they knew they were just a small portion of a much larger kill squad and if you went after them you would run into the rest of them.

For this reason the best thing they could do was move quickly away from this spot and try to hide as they made their way towards the Metal Domain, or at least that was what he would have done. Thinking back to the speed at which they had been walking, Lake wasn't sure what the plan was going to be.

They really didn't seem to be worried if they were attacked, which was one of the reasons he felt like they had been holding back in that last fight. As someone who tried to hide his real strength Lake understood the benefits but he felt their reasons would be slightly different. He usually did it to avoid attention from other strong people but with their speed he was pretty sure they were doing the opposite.

He was guessing they were hoping to draw the other group out to take care of the early in their journey. Turning to Helain Lake asked. "When will we start moving again?" They hadn't started to move yet and instead the barrier had come back up right after they saw the demon Worshipers run away.

"It could take a while if we do move anymore for the day." After Helain said this, Lake remembered he was moving with a group that would need to sleep like normal people and with it being night there was a good chance this was it for the day. "Would we really rest in the same spot the demon Worshipers attacked us?"

Helain shrugged and it caused Lake to think that she probably knew about as much as he did. She was really more like a recourse than a member of the team in this situation so he wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't been told anything about the plan he suspected their group was following.

Looking around, Lake looked at the other people that were talking and tried to hear what they were saying. "You're right we'll be staying here for the night." After he got done saying this, Lake wondered if he would have to pretend to sleep a normal amount of time so that no one realized he hadn't slept the whole time.

Excited to find that someone had saved her she looked around to see the healers in the room were looking at another patient. Not wanting to get in the way of whatever they were doing to the other person, Tiff tried to get out of bed only to find she got really dizzy as soon as she tried to move.

Realizing she wasn't back to top condition yet she was left with no option other than to call out to the doctors. "Hello." She wasn't sure what questions to ask since she really had no idea who had tried to take her so she just started by letting them know she was awake. She was pretty sure they would tell her what had happened while she was asleep without her having to ask.

"Go tell the Temple Head Tiffany is awake." After the doctor had said this they left the side of the other patient and asked. 'How are you feeling? The sleep poison they used on you wasn't something we had ever seen before so we were not sure if we completely negated it yet."

Tiff had an answer ready for this since she had almost fallen over when she moved. "I'm dizzy but it's only when I move." Tiff didn't leave out the part about it being only when she moved since she knew it could be important. "You were asleep for around a day because of poison so I wouldn't be surprised if that's just a side effect. Tell me if it doesn't fade."

Seeing the man was only worried about being a doctor she was about to start asking about what had happened to her but the Temple Head came into the room and Tiff just decided to get the information from the Temple Head since she would have all of it with her being in charge. "You woke up a lot faster than we thought you would."

Tiff already knew it had been around a day since she had been poisoned but she wondered how long it had been since they had given her the antidote there was a more important question though. "How long did it take to rescue me?" She wanted to know how long she had been in enemy hands.

"It was like 18 hours but you were just being carried the whole time since where they were taking you was far away so nothing big happened in that time as far as we know." Tiff was happy to hear she hadn't been cursed or anything while they had her because if that had been the case it wouldn't have really mattered if they had saved her.

"Who was it that took me?" Tiff had two guesses but she felt that at least one of them was wrong because if it had been the Demon Worshipers they would have killed her. That left Jon and she really didn't think it was him who had handed her the bag. "We're not really sure yet but it looks like it was the Coliseum."

Tiff hadn't expected this answer and wanted to ask why they would do that but she knew the Temple Head wouldn't know for sure yet so she instead asked. "Did you go yourself to get me back?"

"I'll tell you about that later but there's something else I have to tell you." Seeing the look on the Temple Head's face fall Tiff remembered there was actually another thing that was supposed to happen today. Realizing Dawn wasn't next to her bed when she was supposed to be back today Tiff asked. "What happened?"
