Chapter 15

ZENO Chronicles

I crept back into the cave slowly and started waking everybody up quietly but frantically.

Zeno, what`s wrong we agreed on 5 hours of sleep? Asked Jade.

There is activity coming from the East, Danzo can you locate it. On it said Danzo.

The screams were even louder and nearer than before, that’s when everyone fully woke up and gathered their things.

It says that the attacker is 20 minutes away from here and they are moving fast.

 Does it say what? Asked the Captain.

It says here that there are Helmerites.

Oh no, they have come to draft the boys! Shouted Zoe.

What are you talking about asked the Captain and the other Zaives.

I overheard my father talking to a Lunare guard before school started. The guard had made assumptions that the Helmerites were on the move again and were drafting boys again to make their biological weapons again since they now have an antidote for Roithian said Zoey.

Oh my God that is why the Zaive border was attacked and those soldiers were murdered, I said rubbing my budding headache.

How do you ladies know so much about this and we don’t asked the Captain? My father is the Head general of the Zaive troops said Zoey. My home is with the war Lord Eric Nam and the hover driver is Captain Rosewood.

The captain could only manage to say Wow.

So what do we do now, do we go back and notify the school? Asked one of the Zaive boys.

No, it will be too late? Answered the captain.

Yeah, the hundred thousand men and boys drafted in 2030 by the Helmerites are yet to be found. I said siting down.

Are you sure you are Evoiry asked one of the Zaives and this managed to lighten up the mood.

So, what I we going to do asked the Prince?

Cory bring the map, shouted the Captain.

The helmerites want us to disperse into smaller groups so that they can disarm us faster. I say we round up everyone into the centre of the forest there is strength in numbers.

That’s a good idea, we will split our group into 4 parts for east, west, south and north directions. We warn the students from the parts of the forest that have not been attacked. The 4 points of gathering will be at the waterfall for the East. This cave site for the West, the Dome rock on the North and the Mountain on the South.

 That`s a great Idea, but how are we supposed to warn the others. Asked Rebecca.

Joshua can you manipulate the thoughts of the whole school, that I can do Joshua said with a smirk but it needs to be a clear message.

Ok, repeat everything the Captain said also add that they should find the river and follow it down its gradient so that they find the points faster.

Smart, it`s because the river passes all these points said one of the Zaives.

Team 1 will have me, happy, jade, one of the junior Zaives and shim and we will go East. Team 2 will have Zoey, Abbey, two of the touch seniors and one other Zaive troop stay here. Team 3 will have Rebecca, Danzo, Cory and Jackson and one of the troopers go to the south. Team 4 with Zeno, the Prince, Joshua, sade and the remaining Zaive will go North.

Everyone remembers the bird signals right, I signal means ok, two signals means danger. Check the time on your portscreens as soon as it turns to 6 am change the signal from owl, to the sparrow. Rebecca get the lamps ready.
