It's Useless.

Aria looked at her expectant and nervous expression and suddenly felt bad for not training enough.

She lowered her head and shook it lightly causing Elena's heart to drop.

" I'm really sorry Lena,But I can't. I told you before that it depends on a persons capability, and also only a few choosen animals and priests get that ability."

Elena lowered her long eyelashes covering the mist that gathered her eyes. She bit her lips and looked up at Aria. " It's okay. I just wanted to try my luck. "

Aria nodded. She knew that she was just hiding it but she didnt say anything more.

" I'll go and take my bath now and then cut some fruits. You can eat the remaining deer meat if you want then later we will cut woods that we'll take to the nearby village to sell. " Elena said as she dusted her back while standing.

" I'll come with you. I want to have a bath too."

*****

Elena pushed the half filled wooden carriage they found in the store. She was sweating and breathing heavily.

Though she trained this morning, she was barely having the strength to push it.

Suddenly, Aria who was giving her encouraging howls stopped. Her eyes grew wary staring at the figure in front and she got into a fighting stance.

Elena followed her gaze and looked at the handsome looking guy in front of her.

He looked very tattered with torn clothes and stale dirty looking light brown hair but his beautiful golden eyes were sharp and cold. He looked at them like he was looking at a prey.

Elena frowned and placed her hand on the sword at her waist.

" Who are you? "

Her voice was cold and authoritative like she was above everyone else. It annoyed the young man and he spoke back just as cold.

" None of your business."

Elena frown deepened. Why was this stranger this cold? Was that how he always was or did something happen?

Ever since she heard the tale this morning and after what she had experienced, she knew very well how circumstances can change a person. She was afterall a living example. Before she could say anything more, the man turned away from her. Without looking back, he said

" I don't know what you are here for but this forest is not for safe for girls like you." He glanced slightly at Aria and added.

" It's never wise to keep a tiger as a pet. Even if it is a cub." Then he proceeded to walk away

His words got Aria's fur standing with rage. Elena quickly patted her down and said to the man.

" Wait.!!! Join me and I will help you"

Her words caused him to pause but he soon continued walking.

Elena didnt panick. Instead she said again. " Join me and I will help you."

This time, she got his attention. He turned to her and said with a cold and mocking look in his eyes.

" Why do you think you can help me? Do I look so pathetic to you?"

" I can help you because we are driven by the same emotions." Elena replied calmly. Just now, when he turned she felt the same feeling in him she had felt when she lost everything.

The man looked slightly surprised obviously not expecting that reply, but he regained his cold face seconds later.

" Ohh and what emotion is that?"

"Revenge. You want them to repay you for what they've done and return what they've stolen. I'll help you do that."

Her voice was as calm but her eyes held grievance, pain, anger, determination but what stood out most was the chilling coldness in them. It made him wonder what she had been through to have such a look.

He looked down with a bitter and self mocking look on his beautiful thin lips. " I've tried, but it's no use. I can't win, it was clear from the beginning. He looked back up at Elena and said.

" It's useless. Just give up." Then he turned back walking away again.
