Chapter 69: Terrified (1)

Luna watched me as alked in the forest Her face flickered orry as she stared at h she tried to hide it, I noticed it all She wanted to ask She wanted to say a lot

We continued walking without saying anything I quietly sighed She's probably wondering what's in my mind She must be worried She must have expectednow She's right, though Not only I felt weak, I was broken, and terrified But I needed not to show it to her

When I woke up this et what had happened for the meantime I acted like I didn't care that Lucas was also here and that we've also o Yesterday was the first ti it before her or anyone else What happened between ot me out of track It wasn't part of the plan so I had to time to set my emotions in check But that's over now I needed to focus more now

“It's lunch ti midday sun behind the crowded trees It's actually noon It's the sixth day of the Linus Cup Two days of fighting; two days being unconscious I woke up in the fifth day; resting in the ain by the afternoon It's al but we haven't ood place,” I told Luna

She agreed There see that someone already passed here and had wiped the opponents clear It must be the reason of this calm and peaceful air The atmosphere has this eerie ‘calorgeous pine tree trees

“Here is fine?” I asked her

She didn't answer I turned to Luna and saw her staring up at the tree where we stopped She was carefully looking at it and see it “No,” she answered in al at that she answered unclearly

“I didn't know there's this kind of tree here”

My forehead furrowed and follohat she's looking about I noticed soht was a pine tree I tried to reach the berries on the lower part but was surprised by Luna's cry

“Don't touch it!”

I immediately pulled away froain, I curiously looked at the tree and then at Luna “What's up with this anyway?”

She turned to me “shi+a, we've learned about this tree,” she said “It's a type of a Yew tree” Yew tree? With all the things swirling in my mind, how can I even remember some kind of a tree?

“The seeds and leaves of the tree are very poisonous that it can stop your heartbeat No symptoms, you'll just drop dead” I blinked in shock hat she said shi+t “So as much as possible, let's stay away from it and most especially avoid any intake”

I nodded “Is this how you killed your first opponent?” I asked

She turned stiff at my question and looked away “As much as possible I don't want to kill I'e is supposed to be used as a cure, not the other way around,” she quietly returned

I watched Luna I didn't knohere it ca her She's still the same Luna that I knoeet, compassionate, naïve She should not be associated in this kind of game If I only knew there was someone like her in titan Acade her and apologize to her while she's still in front of ht not be able to do it in the days to coht I et an idea of ame,” I pointed out “If we don't kill, ill be killed”
