Chapter 19: Chapter 19

They both went inside and there they met Isla. They told her the truth. She was a little serious when she heard this. She told Aaron, “We would help you for this. But no one here knows the address of the Ark you are talking about but do you know where it will be...

Aaron answered, “Yes, it is buried under the idol of your deity. We want it and we need to destroy it. Everyone went to the temple there. The temple was made of stone. It had carvings on it. Next to it was a small fallen temple. It seemed that no one was going there. Isla said, “There is the temple of God of snake, there is a big snake living there, so no one goes there.”

People who had been there protested first, but Isla explained to them the seriousness of the time and the situation. And then in a short time everyone went to the big temple. They move the idol of God to see but there was nothing there. Aaron and Kate were confused.

The big question in front of them was, “What to do now?” While Aaron was busy talking to Isla, Kate came out. She entered the small temple. It was a little dark inside. But she saw something shining in the dim light. As she approached there, a large number of snakes came together. And they started trying to attack her. Kate tried to go inside avoiding attacks one by one; at last with great effort she approached the shining things.

The shining thing was that it was an ark. She was very happy. As soon as she touched the ark, she realized that someone come behind her. She looked back and saw a very big snake coming after her. She felt as if she was about to die, and she called out loudly, “Aaron...” The snake becomes angry. He is coming very close to her to attack her ... At that moment, the snake moved back and it seemed that it was throbbing. The snake went away from there in its burrow. She saw Aaron and Isla behind her. They had hit her on the tail with a large stone.

Now where did her life come from? She was very scared. Without a moment's delay, Aaron approached her. He shouted at her, “Who told you to go out alone. You didn’t inform me too? Kate, you will lose your life by behaving like this!"

Kate didn't answer him but just showed the box in her hand. He got happy, Isla told him to get out.

Isla said as she came out. "I thought there was nothing here but Kate got what we wanted. Aaron,  I love this girl very much. Her life was in danger today because of that. She was the only one who found the ark! She alone found it. I told you. There is something special about her. That is her Courage! "

Aaron was happy to hear this. He took Kate's hand and whispered in her ear; “Love you...for this I like you.” She also said, “You saved me so love you too...”

Isla was looking at it all, she was asking with a smile, “When did this happen?? You didn’t look at each other last time??”

They both answered "just now".

And shortly after, they said goodbye to Isla, and it was evening. It was raining. They were talking to each other,” Aaron... listens to me...”

Aaron look at her, “say ...”

Kate said, “Are you copying me?”

Aaron reply, “I love to tease you  ...”

Kate said, “I already know that. But tell me, what if that snake killed me today?”

Aaron answered her, “So what? I would have gone and told everyone that Kate left us while looking for the ark?”

Kate asked, “Really???”

Aaron replied, “no Kate  ... To be honest, I will never let anything happen to you. Just trust me on every step.

Kate nodded, “Yes... I will... but I don't know our future, what about it?”

Aaron said, “We will see that later but now it is not the subject. Tell me one thing... when did you started liking me.”

Kate replies him, “I don't know. But yes, when I was with you, I was drawn to you that night. That was the first time I started feelings for you?”

Aaron asked, “Which?”

Kate answered, “A flirting vampire I thought was innocent...”

Aaron smile, “how sweet ...”

Kate said, “Are you teasing me again?”

Aaron tries to said, “no  ... I just...”

Kate look away from him, “Go  ... I will not listen to anything  ...”

That's how the two started arguing. Soon they return back in town. But Kate began to realize that this road does not lead to the home of Aaron.

She asked Aaron, "Where are we going??”

He replied, "We had 24 hours, of which we still have 8 hours."

She was a little confused, looking at Aaron with a strange look. Aaron smiled and told her, "I don't have anything like that in my mind. Don't be afraid. I want to spend the rest of my hours with you."

He stopped the car in front of Kate's house. Her aunt and uncle had not come yet. They both took the ark and went inside. It was raining and they were both soaking wet. Kate changed her clothes. Aaron sat still. She gave him her uncle's clothes. The two made a meal together from the things in the house. They were having a lot of fun with each other. They started chatting together. Then Aaron pleaded a lot and Kate took him to her room. The two were now sitting in her room. Aaron was sitting with her hand in his. He was saying to her, "this time should never end, Kate."

The two were talking a lot and laughing. After a while, Kate feels sleepy and she fell asleep in the arms of Aaron. She slept very well in his arms, from the bottom of her heart...

It's morning. Aaron felt as if someone had come down. He quickly got up and looked down, but saw a middle-aged woman doing something. But she was not Kate's aunt. He quickly woke up Kate and told her that someone had come down but she was not her aunt. Kate didn't know anything, she got up and started going down... what she sees that the woman was none other than her mother. But now Kate was stunned. She told Aaron to stop upstairs only. She went downstairs and saw that her father was in front of her. The ark was now in their hands.

Her mother saw her. She takes her in a hug. Her father also came near her, he saw Kate with all his heart. Kate was stunned for a while. She did not understand, "How did her parents who never met come now?"

But as soon as her mother hugged her, she became emotional. Tears welled up in her eyes.

After 24 hours, the mark was returned to Kate's hand. Her father showed the mark on her hand to her mother.

Her mother said, "Kate, are you also a hunter? Who attacked you, Kate? Are you all right? And this Ark? What is this?”

She sat quietly for a while, she didn't answer anything. She put the question in front of them, “Why? Why did you leave me? And you are suddenly coming home today? Why Mom and Dad?"

Kate's parents started looking at each other... Her mother fetched water from the kitchen and she asked Kate to sit down. The three of them sat on the sofa. Kate was sitting between the two of them.

Kate's mother started telling.....
