28. Between Fear and Hope

  The time was 1:42 pm.

  “If these get past me, my friends would be in trouble,” Ken thought when the coin was in the air.

  “I should somehow stop these,” he hoped.

  The coin landed right before the leopard’s eyeline. When the top side of the coin reflected the light from the fall, it shone.

  Leopard watched the shining coin in front of its eyes.

  “Stop there!!!” Ken screamed.

  The sound was so loud that even the sound of the wind was overthrown. The coin got struck on the ground as it landed.

  Even the strong wind couldn’t move it out. The other two leopards marched in slowly.

  The leopard that saw the coin began shaking its head as something was happening to it.

  It started walking backwards with its eyes closed. The other leopards saw this and stopped marching.

  It screamed so hard. Other leopards came near it.

  Ken and his friends didn’t know how to react as they were the spectators.

  Ken stood up from the ground. Just as he stood, the leopard started screaming again, even though it didn’t see him.

  But this time, all 3 leopards moved backwards. The leopard that saw the coin finally opened its eyes.

  The wind that blew hard slowed down. The place was as silent as it could get.

  That leopard came one step forward and then turned back. The other leopards, seeing this, turned back as well.

  Then all 3 leopards started walking in the direction they first arrived.

  “Huh!” was the reaction of all 8 people.

  Ken walked forward towards the coin. He plucked the coin struck between the ground and walked towards the car.

  His mind was empty. He didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t believe anything.

  “Ken!” Andrew ran towards him and hugged him.

  A shed of tear fell from Andrew’s eyes.

  “I thought I was going to lose you,” he said with his eyes closed.

  Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  “Why is he crying?” Ken thought when he saw the tear.

  “Am I that important to him?” he asked himself.

  “I am just lucky,” he said.

  “Let’s leave from this place,” he added.

  “Galen, start the car,” Ken ordered.

  “You, too,” he said to Andrew.

  “This is the first time I saw something like this,” Harkey muttered.

  Lucera hugged Ken and started crying.

  “Don’t cry, I am alive after all,” he said.

  “She hugged me, I never thought a day like this would come in my life,” he thought as he couldn’t control his smile.

  “Thank you, God, my life is slowly becoming good,” he said, seeing the sky.

  “Ok, ok. Let’s leave,” Harkey said, laughing.

  Everyone spoke with Ken and was happy seeing him the way he is.

  Then, Galen and Andrew started their cars, and their journey continued at 2:01 pm.

  When they were in the car, both Ken and Lucera couldn’t stop blushing. Both Andrew and Haili couldn’t hide their smile.

  “Ahh! What a day it has been!” Haili muttered.

  “Yeah, it was worth a trip,” Andrew replied.

  “Is this hat that important to you, Ken?” Haili asked.

  “Yes, it’s my birthday gift from my uncle, he weaved this hat by himself for me,” he replied.

  “I also love straw hats; this is very special for me,” he added.

  “Will he be—” Lucera started thinking about something.

  “I hope we are alive tomorrow,” Andrew said with a smirk.

  “Don’t say like that! You guys will be fine, it was just a myth,” Haili replied.

  Lucera had less confidence, though. She worried about Ken.

  “If we are meant to live, we will live, that’s it,” Ken said.

  5 minutes passed as Ken realised something.

  He realised that Lucera was thinking about him and began using his power.

  He found a new technique to use his power.

  When he uses his power, he looks frozen, so he discovered fake-sleeping, which would make them believe he is not frozen.

  “When did I flip a coin? It might be somewhere around 1:40 pm,” he used his power.

  He made a decision and started reading Lucera’s mind from 1:40 to 1:45 pm.

  “Please, please, God, save him,” was the first thing she thought in those five minutes.

  “Run away! Don’t do anything,” she thought while the leopard was walking back.

  “Why am I standing like this? I am so weak,” she thought.

  These are the striking things she thought. 5 minutes were over.

  “AHH! My head hurts,” he holds his head.

  “Why is my head hurting more and more when I use this power?” he wondered.

  After a few seconds, “She is so worried about me, I can’t even imagine this,” he smiled.

  “She was a bit childish during that time,” he couldn’t stop smiling.

  “I am lucky to see you, speak to you, Lucera,” he said, so happy.

  Then they began their conversations again.

  Meanwhile, in the other car, everyone except Galen was asleep.

  “He has some insane power; he is not just lucky,” Galen thought.

  “Will they be alive tomorrow?” he wondered.

  After 15 minutes of conversation, everyone in the Roger’s car except Andrew also fell asleep.

  “Everyone is exhausted. I didn’t expect this day to be like this,” he thought.

  “It feels so peaceful in my mind, even though a lot of crazy things happened,” he muttered.

  “I hope this day never ends, I hope to spend more time with her,” he said, seeing Haili.

  It was 3:15 pm when they reached the park. Both Andrew and Galen woke everyone up in their car.

  “Did we reach already?” Violet asked, couldn’t get out of sleep.

  “Yes. Let’s rest at our home,” Galen told.

  Slowly, everyone stepped out of the car.

  “It was a good sleep, I am a bit refreshed,” Harkey muttered.

  “Shouldn’t we head home? We must rest ourselves,” Ken said.

  “Yeah, we will meet once again after some time,” Yucio replied.

  “Should we leave now? Come on,” was the thought of both Lucera and Haili.

  They spoke for 2 minutes and started heading home.

  Lucera and her friends were the first to leave, even though they didn’t want to.

  “Thank you, Galen,” Ken thanked him.
