CHAPTER NINETY-THREE Just when it seemed as though they had escaped from a problem, another one seemed to be lurking inside the dark fortress that they had found themselves in. Elina was the first to notice that the strange sound was low but it seemed that whatever was making it seemed to be getting closer to them. “Guys?” She looked backward, taking two steps away. “Can you hear this?” Kira nodded, doing the exact thing she did. “It sounds like machines or something.” She muttered, and then she turned to Beam. “Can you get that thing to stop making noise?!” She whispered loudly to Eren, reacting to the sound that Beam was making. Eren said nothing, he just stared at the robot, trying to figure out why it seemed very excited. “I think he is excited about something, guys.” He wasn’t so sure about what he said until he saw Beam trying to get away from him and head toward the direction the sound was coming from/ Then there were red lights everywhere, especially from that direct

Elina grabbed the edge of the window while Kira staggered and fell.“Are you okay?” She asked, staring at Kira who nodded in response.Eren on the other hand had already left the room, heading to the control system in a hurry.He returned in less than a minute with panic in his eyes. “I think we have a very big problem.” He said before any of the ladies could throw the questions they had at him.Elina managed to get a grip on herself, and then she helped Kira stand on her feet. “What’s going on?!” She turned to Eren, and seeing the look on his face, she could tell that there was a big problem.“Say something!” Kira urged, running out of patience. Eren sighed. “The ship…” He said, but it didn’t look like he was ready to say anything else.“What happened to the ship?!” Elina asked, wondering why he was not saying anything.“Start talking, Eren!” Kira walked up to him with apprehension showing on her face. “Talk to us.” She urged, and when it didn’t look like he was going to say anythin

The ladies were in a hurry to get away from that scary place, but Eren couldn’t stop looking back at the ship, beclouded by the thoughts of letting it go. “I can’t believe that we are letting this ship go.” He said under his breath, slowing his steps as though he was about to regret his decision.“Come on, Eren! We need to get out of here!” Elina said loudly, turning to look at him.Seeing the reluctance that engulfed Eren, she decided to wait until he hastened his steps so that she could make sure that he was going to come with them and not return to the ship. Eren was able to walk faster, and in less than thirty minutes, they were able to walk down to the highway just outside the forest.Kira looked around, and when she was still unable to figure out where they were, she was forced to turn to Eren with a curious look on her face“Do you know where we are?” She asked, and when it didn’t look like she was going to get that answer from him, she turned to Elina, hoping that she was go

When Kira was certain that she had been able to draw the attention of Eren as well, she pointed at the clock.Eren was the first to discover what she was trying to show them. “No way!” He gasped, and then he moved closer. “Maybe it’s faulty.” He said, and then he turned toward the cashier’s desk.There was a computer there, and moving inside, he checked the time and date on the screen.“This is not real!” He exclaimed, eyes wide open while his mouth refused to shut. Elina decided to see for herself. She moved closer to the computer and looked at the screen, eyes on the lower part where the date and time was. “Oh my God!” She gasped, turning to Eren without shutting her mouth. “You were right, Eren! We have been away from Earth for over three months!”“How is that even possible?!” Kira asked, and even though she wasn’t really expecting her companions to understand the dilemma that they had walked into, she expected them to say something at least.But there was a deafening silence, an

As the car jilted to a stop, everyone looked ahead to see what could be happening. But because the road was curved, they couldn’t really see anything but the thickets that surrounded them.“I don’t think we should continue,” Tara said with a nervous voice, preparing to reverse the car at any moment.But she seemed like the only one who didn’t want to continue the movement. “I don’t think we shouldn’t continue,” Eren said, acting very brave at that moment. “What if there is something in front?” Elina asked even though she still wanted them to continue.Tara took a deep breath, and then she turned to Kira. “I am worried.” She said, expecting to hear something that could support her thoughts. Kira knew that saying anything at that moment was only going to come as a disappointment, so she decided to remain silent while she looked ahead just like the others. “I think you should go, Tara,” Eren suggested, but she didn’t budge.“What if something is out there, Eren?” Tara asked, causing
