Chapter 2 "Indifference".

-The prota: When I woke up I couldn't see anything, I could only hear some voices arguing with each other... I couldn't understand what they were saying because I was still dazed by the blow, but I knew they were probably talking about me, since a kidnapping in the middle of nowhere would have to be something to talk about... I don't know, before God told me. I didn't even know they existed.After a while the voices finally stopped and out of nowhere I felt a vibration on the floor, something was approaching Ami. After that I heard a voice that told me.

-Are you awake? *with a serious tone*

- (I don't know why but I knew I had to answer, so I gathered my courage and told her)

-If I am awake, may I ask who you are? *with a sincere tone*

after saying these words. There was a silence for a few seconds until he answered.

-No one in particular... *with a tone that showed sadness inside her*.

-The prota: (listening to him speak, I could tell from afar that he was against my kidnapping. His emotions overflowing the room? I just had to play a little and I could get out, I thought.)

After what he told me I said something like....

-did I do something wrong? why am I here? *with a tone of concern*

thinking that it could cause him some favorable reaction for my plan.

but another person was heard at that moment who said to me.

-You know you are talking to your kidnapper, don't you? He doesn't give a shit about you... he just plays with you *with a very smug tone*

but I don't blame you in your situation he would have tried a move like that too....

-The prota: (I froze when he said that... what could I do to get out? I thought to myself. But I couldn't find an answer inside me, so I decided to try to have a chat and see where it would lead me).

Could you tell me what I'm doing here, or will you do the same as your partner by not answering? *I said

to him with a bit of anger.

-I know you have doubts but the one who comes to answer questions is you, not us, so don't waste your breath, you won't find out anything... *she laughed*.

-The prota: so you won't talk either, it's ok I understand. What do you want to know? *I said with a more enraged tone than before*

-Since you're willing to answer, let's start, it won't be a problem if we start earlier, will it? He said to his partner.

After that there was a silence and he said:

do you know a god?

The Prota: (it took me a few seconds to answer because I was thinking, why did he ask me that, could only I communicate with him? But I couldn't afford to lie to him, so I told the truth.)

-s... Yes? why do you ask?

-mm... so yes eh. Interesting... so do you know how to reach him? No?

-The prota: I've communicated with him, but he finds me, not me him.

-mm... it makes sense someone so wanted can't afford to be traceable...

-Prota: Wanted, what are you talking about?

-Sorry, we'll ask the questions ourselves. -For now we're done. But we can't set you free yet.

After that, they left...

-a few hours later-

being tied up and blindfolded for so many hours, it's normal to sharpen your senses, isn't it? Why Ami did not happen to me, I remained the same for hours and hours, and I could only think about what could be happening here. I had the option to stop breathing and escape, but I felt a pain when I tried to do it, so I didn't do it out of fear. I don't know what they are capable of, I don't know anything about them I couldn't risk it. So I decided to sleep...

when I was finally dozing off, I heard a voice which woke me up and said....

-I know you don't understand anything, and you don't know who I am, but we don't have much time, we must go.

-The prota: out of nowhere I felt how they untied my hands, and the first thing I did was to take off my blindfold. I finally knew where I was. I felt I knew the place but I didn't have time to see it thoroughly, since I had to leave before they caught me...

as for the one who untied me, there was no trace, I guessed it was a work of God so I left stealthily, but I just heard voices arguing again. I know I wasn't in a position to listen, but I felt the need to go.

-He's here! *with an aggressive tone*

-What are you talking about, it's impossible for him to be here?

-Are you an idiot? We're inside his box right now. I realized that time stopped flowing here, either we leave or we'll end up trapped here.

-But what about the prisoners, are you thinking of leaving them here, we need them?

There was a silence out of nowhere, and a laugh was heard....

-I got it all... *he said repeatedly* go

get the one we recently captured.

-eh why her?

-it's not obvious, he came to help her... because I don't know, but we can't let her go... as far as we know he didn't take her. He just opened the way for her... look for her right now!!!!! *I exclaim shouting*

-and the others what, are you planning to let him die?

- since they arrived here they knew their destiny... now do as I told you *I exclaim aggressively*.

-The prota: when I heard that I knew I had to leave, I didn't understand much of the talk or discussion but I knew that something very bad was happening here. But I had to leave, knowing that there were more people here like me, I had to look for them. I knew there wasn't much time, but if they might know something so I couldn't delay a second. I started running around looking for every possible door, room and place. But there was nothing... out

of nowhere I started to hear footsteps near me, I knew they were looking for me so I hid through a grate. After it happened I decided to continue searching following the path through the grids, after a while sneaking around I saw someone who seemed to be trapped there... and I said to him.

-Hey, can you hear me? *whispering*, you know we don't have much time. So please hold my hand. I'll help you get out.

He didn't say anything, but he held my hand and came upstairs with me. I gave her some signs that she should follow me and I went with her towards the exit.

As I was leaving I said something like

- we made it *smiling*.

out of nowhere I see a guy behind her that I hadn't noticed before. Just as I was about to say something. She shushes me and says

-Relax, he was with me. Don't worry, we won't bother you anymore.

-The prota: I won't let you go, I need you and you need me, Ami. I know you have my gift.

She answered me out of the blue.

-You're right, we have a gift, but it's not like yours.

-The prota: mmm.... really? what gift do you have? and tranqu...i

- I know it's kind of cliché but I can see the future up to 3 seconds. *

? she answered interrupting me

-The prota: mmm... interesting and what gift do you have? *referring to the boy*

I hadn't heard him speak since I saw him... so I was in doubt. But he said to me:

-I'm sorry but my gift, it's a secret. I can't trust you just because you saved me.

*the girl smiled*

-I guessed you would say that; I don't even know what powers you really have...

oh and by the way as for names, my name is Taquira... and since I know he won't tell you his name, I'd rather say it for him. His name is " Liax"

-Liax answered with a smile: "Yes, of course, that's my name... but what about yours? We don't know anything about you... how could we trust you?

-The prota: huh? my name? i don't know what to call me...m

out of nowhere I see how Taquira approaches Liax and slaps him in the face...

-Taquira: how can you be so cruel; don't you have any empathy?

-The prota: sorry to interrupt you, but I think we should leave, you know we are not so far away and we can be found...

-Taquira: but where should we go?

-The prota: I have no idea, but for the moment we should get as far away from here as possible.

nobody opposed my idea, so we set off towards nowhere.

on the way i was chatting with Taquira about what she knew,

because even though Liax was with us, it was as if he didn't exist, he didn't say anything or give his opinion. He was only there as a spectator.

On the way I managed to understand something, only I have been able to see God. They just appeared and had to learn and understand by themselves what was happening to them... I was the only one privileged to have some kind of guide, but they don't know this.

She also told me that among them there is a kind of power ranking. Which she did not know how it was, since she explained to me that only people with a lot of power knew these things.

-those who had the most useless powers should serve them... they told us...

-and those of us who resisted ended up in isolated jails, and some of us even died... very cruel, don't you think? *he said to me with a smile

I couldn't say anything, I know it's cruel but I wasn't there, I can't give an opinion about something I didn't live, it would be very inconsiderate I think... so I just kept silent and didn't say anything.

the rest of the way I continued in silence...

-a long way later-

in the end we ended up staying in a house which seemed to be abandoned. We

didn't know much to do so for the time being we just settled in.

at night. as we slept i was able to talk to god again.

and he said:

-Dragaminas: Congratulations!!! If you hadn't needed my help to get out of here it would have been honest... but I don't blame you, it's your first time.

-The prota: Hey god, can I ask you a question, is

it only me who knows about your existence? *I said with curiosity*

-Dragaminas: I know what you mean, but yes. Only you I've talked to, the others would try to kill me at the slightest opportunity.

-The prota: why would they try to kill you?

-Dragaminas: for that I have 2 answers *I exclaim with a smile*, there are those who would kill me because they think it's my fault that they are in that situation. And those who would kill me just so they can be the strongest. Since it is useless to be strong if you know that there is someone capable of defeating you. Fear corrodes them because they know that if they run into me their life would be over in seconds.

-The prota: I understand what you are saying... by the way, is there anything else I should know?

-Dragaminas: no, that's all... you can go back to your world.

after telling me that I woke up... and I was shocked to see Liax looking at me with a thirst for blood...

I asked him

-are you ok?

-Liax: *smiled at me and said* yeah sure everything is fine.

and went to sleep.

for a second I thought he might have overheard my talk or something related to the situation earlier, but I figured it was all good.

-the next day-

when we woke up the next day, Liax finally gave in a bit and helped us figure out where to start. he

said something like.

-follow me *I exclaim with authority*.

Without explaining anything to us, we were both stunned and said nothing. But we knew he was determined to help us so we trusted him.

I didn't know how but out of nowhere, we were leaving the city heading to a field in the middle of nowhere, we didn't say anything both of us since somehow or other we trusted him.

-hours later-

after hours of walking, we ended up arriving at a town that would be impossible to find on a map, since it didn't appear. I tried to ask him but Liax didn't answer, we ended up stopping at a house, and finally Liax told us something.

-Liax: the man who lives here knows things that can help you. But don't trust him, remember he is a miserable human like the others... I wish you luck, I'll go and look for a place to sleep.

When we heard her we were both shocked, he left... and left all the hard work to us...

but we didn't say anything to him, since he found information somehow or other. At first Taquira proposed knocking on the door and from the first moment I knew it was a bad idea, but I wanted to bet on my good faith. So we knocked on the door, we ended up being attended by a middle-aged man. When he saw us the only thing he said was

-I know what you're here for, so I would ask you to please leave. Your lives are not more important than mine, so you won't be able to convince me.

Hearing that, I stayed a few seconds thinking what to say to her, when I see the silhouette of Taquira passing in front of me...

making me raise my eyes. When I look up I see how she tried to stick a knife in his neck, but when I tried her knife literally pierced his neck. She had become invisible to the knife but we could still see it....

-Nice try, but you know, my power doesn't allow physical things to hurt me. Basically I'm a ghost to things which they can pass through, but to their eyes I'm visible....

-Taquira: what should we do to make you tell us some information? *I exclaim with a cracked voice*.

-Since you insist so much I'll tell them something, although I shouldn't do it since they could kill me but it's ok. If they are looking for the one in charge of the kidnappings I don't know that since only those of higher rank know that, but I know the whereabouts of one of the beings with that rank capable of knowing them, his name is Hausty kyubi. That I tell you, try not to have a direct confrontation with him. His power allows him to teleport at will, in addition to possessing a speed greater than that of an average human, making him a demon in battle?

-The Prota: But is he sure he knows what we need to know?

-Yes, it is sure that he knows... but I wish you luck because besides being strong, it is complicated for you to find him.

After that, we went to look for Liax. We already knew what we needed to know, we guessed?

-two days later-

In the end we stayed two more days in the village, as we were in no hurry to leave. Not that we were going to find the untraceable guy.

But that didn't matter much, because today we received the news that the guy who gave us the information was dead...

at that moment we were both in shock. While Liax said some of the cruelest words...

-Liax: Why so shocked? It was obvious that this was going to happen and he knew it, that's why he put up a resistance, the fact that they didn't even give it any importance shows how selfish they were. But changing the subject, knowing that the assassins are in town we should try to capture them and see if they know the location of the guy we are looking for?

we both nodded our heads in embarrassment with a bit of anger at the false accusations he told us, although we both knew deep down that he wasn't wrong. Neither of us gave any importance to him, we just went to squeeze him the little information he had... taking that aside, we decided to start the search for those assassins.
