Chapter twenty-seven: Miss Tasha

...

I think we should split up here besides, you are a student here and if we are caught together we will be in big trouble, the mysterious man told the woman.

Fine, I'll see you when I get back.

Okay, the man replied before changing his route.

Did they notice we are following them? Tom asked when he noticed they were splitting up.

I don't think they noticed us yet else, they would chase us and kill us, May replied to Tom.

Wait, I suddenly told both of them as I dragged them into a corner.

Suddenly, we heard several footsteps coming in our direction. From the noise, they were making, we knew they were a large group but, we were not certain if they were friends.

Thank you, May whispered as I lessen my grip on her mouth.

How were you able to notice them on time? Been suddenly asked.

Are you an idiot? How can you not notice the loud footsteps approaching us, I shot back.

 Hmm, you are right. Anyway, I don't think they are our enemies besides, I saw them in the army uniform. 

Wait, are you sure it's not a trap? May asked. 

I don't think so besides, we can't leave this place without strong fighters, I reassured her. 

Hmm, May nodded.

Ma, they are some kids who came to our troop and we came to ask you what we should do to them, a soldier told the female who was the leader of the troop. 

Bring them here, she replied before dismissing him. 

Yes, ma'am, he replied before coming back with the three of them. 

Rick, Miss Tasha shouted in joy after seeing he was the one. She thought he was already dead and decided to bring his body back so his parents could calm down a bit. 

Teacher, I never knew you were the leader of this troop anyway, did you find the rest? Rick asked. 

What happened? Did you guys split up? She asked looking disappointed. Although she came to retrieve his corpse, she was also asked to retrieve the corpse of others and she thought if she found Rick she would see the others with him. 

Well, why don't you take us to the base first? I don't think I can last for long with all these injuries, I told her. 

If you want to go to the base, you can go there on your own but, we can't leave this place if we don't find the others, Miss Tasha replied to me. 

Are you searching for all the students? Tom suddenly asked. 

No, she replied before continuing. All the other students have been found and rescued by the reinforcement group. 

So we were the only group left. I think that woman was involved otherwise, the reinforcement group would have found us, May murmured. 

Eh, which woman? Miss Tasha asked looking a bit confused. 

You don't have to worry, for now, we will tell you everything that happened when we get back to the base, I told her.
