Chapter 158  Makina and Marin Part 2

The harsh reality of their situation weighed heavily on Makina\'s shoulders, and she felt the weight of her own powerlessness pressing down upon her.

Every day seemed like a relentless struggle for survival, and hope was a distant memory that slipped through her fingers like sand.

As the days stretched on, Makina\'s heart grew heavier.

She watched as the soldiers moved about, their actions a cruel reminder of the divide between those who could cultivate and those who couldn\'t.

The treatment they received from the soldiers bordered on cruelty, and Makina\'s anger and frustration grew with each passing day.

Yet, she dared not voice her grievances for fear of making their situation worse.

Time took its toll on their bodies, and Makina could see the deterioration in Marin\'s condition.

Her sister\'s frail form became even more delicate, her energy waning as the plague continued to gnaw at her.

Makina\'s heart ached with a sense of urgency and desperation.

She knew that time was running out, and the absence of any sign of treatment only deepened her fear for Marin\'s life.

The scene around them was one of despair.

Instead of witnessing people recovering from the plague, Makina\'s eyes were met with the haunting sight of lifeless bodies, the faces of the dead belonging to those she had once known.

Among them was her friend Natalie, a face that was once filled with life, was now cold and still in death.

The shock of seeing a familiar face among the corpses sent shivers down Makina\'s spine, and her breath caught in her throat.

As Natalie\'s body was gathered and passed through the tent, Makina\'s eyes remained fixed on the scene, her mind unable to process the reality before her.

The horrifying sight of her friend\'s lifeless form was etched into her memory, a stark reminder of the fragility of life in this unforgiving world.

Her body trembled, and a wave of nausea washed over her as she tried to push away the image that threatened to consume her thoughts.

In the midst of this despair, Makina\'s determination burned brighter.

She couldn\'t let Marin suffer the same fate as those around them.

The sight of Natalie\'s lifeless body was a catalyst, a stark reminder of the urgency to find a way out of this nightmare.

The air inside the tent felt stagnant and suffocating, a reflection of the heaviness that clung to Makina\'s heart.

The feeble glow of a single candle cast distorted shadows on the walls, their wavering forms mimicking the uncertainty that had become their reality.

The thin fabric of the tent fluttered gently, a fragile barrier between them and the outside world.

Makina\'s heart raced as she held Marin tightly in her arms, feeling the shivers that racked her sister\'s frail frame.

The soft groans of pain that escaped Marin\'s lips were a haunting soundtrack to the agony they both endured.

It was as if the plague that had ravaged their bodies was now gnawing at their souls, leaving them both in a state of relentless torment.

In the faint candlelight, Makina could make out the haggard state of Marin\'s once-lustrous hair.

Strands that were once the envy of many were now gone, leaving behind a barren scalp that added to their shared misery.

But what struck Makina with a gut-wrenching blow was the sight of her sister\'s empty eyes, the windows to her soul now veiled in impenetrable darkness.

The night was eerily quiet, save for the guttural screams that tore through the air.

"Makina, where are you?"

Marin\'s voice wavered, her tone laced with panic.

The desperation in her voice was like a knife to Makina\'s heart, a visceral reminder of the helplessness that both of them were mired in.

It was a question that cut through the darkness, seeking a lifeline in a world that had turned hostile.

With trembling hands, Makina reached out, her fingers brushing against Marin\'s arms before gently sliding up to cup her cheeks.

She could feel the dampness of Marin\'s tears, the physical manifestation of the emotional storm that raged within her.

"I\'m right here, Marin," Makina\'s voice trembled, carrying with it a promise of unwavering support.

"You\'re not alone."

Gently, she reached out and took Marin\'s trembling hand in hers, offering whatever comfort she could.

The plague had robbed Marin of so much, and Makina\'s chest tightened with a mix of anger and grief.

It was a cruel twist of fate that such a young life had to endure such suffering.

"Makina, what\'s happening to us? Why is this happening?"

Marin\'s voice was filled with fear and confusion, her words a reflection of the overwhelming uncertainty they faced.

Makina had no answers to give, and it pained her to hear the desperation in her sister\'s voice.

"I don\'t know, Marin," Makina admitted, her voice barely audible as she struggled to hold back tears.

"But I promise you, I\'ll find a way to make things better. I won\'t let you suffer like this."

Makina\'s promise was a silent vow, a commitment she made to herself and her sister.

The weight of the situation was crushing, but Makina\'s determination burned brighter than ever.

She knew that the path ahead would be fraught with challenges, but she couldn\'t allow herself to falter.

In the darkness of their tent, Makina clung to Marin, her embrace a lifeline in their world of suffering.

The city around them may have been consumed by plague and despair, but within their bond as sisters, there was a glimmer of hope that refused to be extinguished.

She couldn\'t erase the pain they had endured, the losses they had suffered, or the darkness that now enveloped Marin\'s world.

But she could be a source of comfort, a pillar of strength in the midst of their shared suffering.

With the candle\'s flickering light casting a fragile glow, Makina continued to hold Marin, her arms offering both shelter and solace.

The sounds of the city beyond their tent were a constant reminder of the world they were isolated from, a world that had crumbled under the weight of the plague.

The night may have been long and merciless, but it was also a testament to their resilience.

In a world marred by darkness, they clung to each other, finding solace and strength in their bond as sisters.

In the tranquil embrace of the tent\'s dim light, Makina sat beside her slumbering sister, Marin.

The night hung heavy with unspoken fears and the weight of their dire circumstances.

The flickering candle cast elongated shadows that danced on the tent walls, adding to the sense of isolation that enveloped them.

Marin\'s face, though peaceful in sleep, bore traces of the pain she had endured.

Makina\'s eyes shifted between her sister\'s fragile form and the remnants of their meagre meal on the plate.

The scarcity of food and the relentless progression of the plague pressed upon her mind.

Resting back against the fabric, Makina exhaled a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world.

"What should I do?"

Her voice, a mere whisper, trailed into the silence, mirroring her internal struggle.

She grappled with a sense of helplessness, woven with an unwavering determination to save her sister.

As the night wore on, Makina\'s thoughts ran.

"Where can I find a better place?"

The question reverberated, each syllable laden with doubt.

The hope of a sanctuary warred with scepticism, leaving her torn between longing and uncertainty.

"Mom... Dad..."

The names escaped her lips, laced with nostalgia and an ache for guidance.

The memory of her parents, like a comforting embrace, propelled her to seek a solution.

Her voice, a fragile murmur, carried the weight of her heart\'s yearning for a way out of their predicament.

The hours passed in quiet contemplation.

The candle dwindled, casting diminishing light on her determined expression.

The sight of Marin asleep stirred Makina\'s resolve, a silent vow that ignited within her.

The dawn\'s tentative rays began to breach the tent, illuminating her resolute gaze.

With Marin\'s future in mind, Makina realized that action was her only recourse.

The complexities of the path ahead couldn\'t deter her.
