There’s Nothing To Be Afraid Of

A few hours after everyone had eaten their dinner, Thirteen asked Diana to spare some time so that the two of them could talk together.

Diana agreed right away, thinking that Thirteen probably wanted to talk to her about their plan for when morning came.

After walking for a few minutes and making sure that they were a good distance away from the stronghold, the teenage boy turned around to face the young lady, who was looking back at him with curiosity.

"Why did we go this far to talk, Zion?" Diana asked. "Can't we have done it in your room?"

"My room is too small to have this talk, Diana," Thirteen answered. "But before anything else, I would like you to promise me something. Can you do that?"

"What kind of promise?"

"Don't worry. It's a very simple promise that anyone can do as long as their willpower is strong enough."

Diana frowned as the teenage boy's serious tone made her start feeling a little anxious.
