Long Run Chapter 21: Underground Tunnel.
Ana tore her gaze away from the monsters outside as her grip on her bag handle tightened. She glanced at Nova, and the latter nodded, patting Natalie on the shoulder as they took large steps towards the door.If only Ana had spare time, she would have checked out the quality of wood the door was made of, for the surface was rough and dusty. They weren't going to stay here long so there was no need to bother about a dusty old door.Elias and Ana made a team, and Nova and Natalie made another with Lucas as their guard.As Elias gripped the door handle, Carson didn't forget to say. "Be careful.""We will," Ana answered, giving him a long look before she glimpsed at Christopher. She beckoned Spiky over, ignoring the worried look plastered on Christopher's look."You…" Before he could make a full sentence, Elias had gently flung the door open and Ana just picked Spiky up as she made her way out of the room.Elias immediately followed by her side, surveying the area while Nova and Natalie e
Long Run Chapter 22: Where Is Spiky?
"Enough. Let's get out of here." Elias said, glaring at Lucas. He stared at Lucas for a while before turning away and marching forward to the entrance. They had only gotten to the entrance when they heard faint sounds."What's that?" Natalie asked, frightened. Ana listened for a while and then said. "Quick. Everyone into the tunnel."They dashed out of the mart, and from their right side, Ana could see a faint shadow of a tiny ball. She didn't even bother to look twice, she immediately went to the tunnel, took off the cover and pushed them inside. She was the last to enter but before she closed the tunnel, she gave that vague shadow a last peek before closing the lid.Inside, Elias asked. "What was that?" Ana had been the only one who saw what it was so she was the right person to ask."Shh!" She signalled as she raised a finger to her lips. Everyone hurriedly clamoured up. The sound was getting closer and clearer. When it sounded a few distances away from the tunnel, everyone knew in
Long Run Chapter 23: A Tale.
"If you say so." Carson patted his shoulder as he walked back to his spot in the room, ignoring the rest.Meanwhile, Nova was still adamant in following Ana as she argued her point. "I can really protect you." She repeated."I'm strong enough to keep myself safe, remember?" Ana lifted a brow, smiling.Nova opened her mouth, attempting to speak when Ana interrupted, cutting off her last resort. "Plus, I'm stronger than Lucas.""Fine," Nova gave up, flinging her arms up in defeat. "Do whatever you want but I want you and Spiky to return safely, can you do that?" She took Ana's hands in hers and looked directly into Ana's dark eyes. She could obviously see her reflection through Ana's dark orbs, pretending to be calm when she was worried.Knowing how easily worried Nova could be, Ana assured her until Nova was finally willing to let Ana go."Alright. Let's go." Ana said as she faced Christopher. She was shaken at the thought of going back outside, especially with someone whom she doesn't
Long Run Chapter 24: Will They Be Okay?
Back at the building, Nova wouldn’t stop pacing and Elias had gotten dizzy from watching her.“It’s enough already.” He said as he rose to his feet. He added, "They will be fine."“How sure are you?" She snapped, her last bit of restraint broken. "What do you think will happen to Ana when she's with a stranger?" Looking at her, Elias felt that her round adorable pair of eyes wasn't adorable anymore, it was scary and alarming to look at that he dropped his head slightly."Are you worried about their safety? Or are you worried about Ana being with Christopher?"Nova turned around, away from Elias as she faced Natalie with a questioning gaze. "What did you just say?!"Natalie boldly walked over, “I said, are you worried about their safety or you’re just worried about Ana?” Natalie said, placing her fingers before her face as she blocked away Nova’s glaring look. She was so focused on her fingers that she didn’t notice Nova’s lips twitching in rage.Inhaling and exhaling, Nova finally spo
Long Run Chapter 1: Mask Entailed
“Hey, which one of you is going to attend the Showdown Event?” Lucas scanned across the teenagers on the beach, his plain button up shirt blowing with the window as he stood at a side of the magic circle created by their seating arrangement. “As a matter of fact, I would be attending and it would be nice to know those of us who would also be there.” He included, looking all smug. Several eyes turned to look in his direction. Everyone from Ana's class was present, the gathering was supposed to be their reunion before they went to college but somehow, everyone was only bothered by the Showdown Event. “Ana's dad got invited so…I’m guessing she's going to be there too.” Carson, a boy with corn wheat hair that falls below his chin said, his voice creating a wave in the hearts of many girls around while he casually winked at them, causing their hearts to race but unlike these girls, some seemed unmoved. “Of course, she'd be there. Everyone was invited, just that a few parents are quite str
Long Run Chapter 2: Smitten
Like an angel who has descended, the dust rose along with the steps Ana took as she walked towards Natalie, gripping the attention of all the teenagers around. She clenched her fists in anger, she couldn’t help but feel that Natalie was up to no good. She knew Natalie like a mum knows her child, Natalie has always been an arrogant bully since they were kids and she only got worse by the day. Ana had never let her best friend be bullied nor was she going to let it happen especially by someone like Natalie. “Natalie, stay away.” Ana snapped as soon as she stopped in front of Natalie while shielding Nova who was about five feet away. “Or else what?” Natalie stood arm akimbo with a smirk on her face. She felt pleased to see that exasperated look on Ana who had always been known to be calm at all times. She resented the kind of bond Ana had with most of their classmates, Ana always seems to be respected and admired by all of the students but she, on the other hand, had not for once been r
Long Run Chapter 3: Showdown Event
"Hurry, drop your fee!" A receptionist nagged at an old lady; Mrs Fort. "Of course, I would pay up or isn't there any patience in the world, now?" Mrs Fort spoke back, more sharply and the receptionist would have almost lost her tongue if words were knife. She had her hand digging through her handbag. "Everyone is waiting too so drop your fee early, get your tickets and get into the train. It's that simple." The receptionist was having trouble keeping her anger in check as she clenched her hand tightly to prevent herself from making the mistake of hitting an old lady. "Oh now you want to hit me, huh? Do it! Hit me!" Mrs Fort yelled and an argument soon broke out between the receptionist, whose name was Clare as written on her name tag, and Mrs Fort as many people tried to calm both sides. Those who were in line grumbled about how they'll be late for today's event. "Argh, won't they stop already. We would be late to the show if they continue like this." Ana, who was in line with her
Long Run Chapter 4: Silver House
Vel city, a town for all like they call it, is the only town with hills. One Ana was finding it difficult to climb while rushing. "Darn it!" She breathed, "if I continue this way, I may not be able to attend the event! I would only disappoint Nova." She sighed. "Why don't I carry you on my back instead? That way, we'll get to your house earlier." Ana shot him a side glance, scrutinizing as she appraised his back. Many beads of sweat had crowded his forehead and his breaths were heavy. "No thanks," she said, looking away. "You can barely carry yourself yet you want to carry me? I'd rather walk by myself." She walked ahead of him, leaving him ignored as he hurried after her more like a puppy than Spiky was. "But I can try." Lucas wasn't so sure of himself anymore. His legs could barely keep him balanced, not to talk of carrying someone on his back. Ana snorted as she increased her pace, she was almost close to the house. "Ana! Wait up!" Lucas said, pulling on his bag as he walked f
