Third Person's POV



Sinubukan nilang lisanin ang lugar, pero mas mabilis ang ibon at bumuga ito ng malakas na apoy. Buti na lang ay nahila ni Yinxi si Summer sa tamang oras at ginamit Ang kaniyang kapangyarihan para mapigilan ang apoy na binubuga ng ibong iyon.



Summer was so shocked that she even stumbled back, "what are you waiting for?! Run!" Sumigaw si Yinxi kay Summer, pero dahil sa sobrang takot ni Summer ay hindi nya maiwasang makaalala, a memory she's been trying so hard to suppress.



"Summer! Summer, tumakbo ka na!"



"LOLO!" Nanginig si Summer nung marinig nya ulit yun sa utak nya, hindi nya maiwasang magkameron ng flashbacks.



"Lo... L-Lolo..." Summer started to mutter to herself, hindi nya kayang pigilan ang kanyang mga luha. Yinxi saw her vulnerability and she can't help but soften amidst the dangerous situation.



Yinxi heavily sighs and gathers all her strength to push the phoenix away in one strong blow, but the power she used took a lot of toll on her body. Napaluhod si Yinxi sa harap ni Summer at napasuka ng dugo, Summer immediately hugged her and cupped her face, "Miss Zhao, what's happening to you?~" Summer's voice trembled as she looked at her pale face.



Yinxi smiled and shook her head, "you shouldn't have come here, but I do appreciate that you're here, miss Zhang... It makes me feel less lonely." Hindi alam ni Summer ang sasabihin o gagawin, but her head jolted up as she heard a shrieking noise from the phoenix. "Miss Zhao, can you hold onto me?" Napatanong si Summer, a sense of urgency ang pumupunta sa utak nya. Seeing Yinxi in this state, weak and injured doesn't sit well with Summer.



Yinxi weakly nodded before she totally fell into her unconscious state. Without further ado, binuhat ni Summer si Yinxi at nilakad na lang ng mabilisan ang daan sa niyebe. Kasi the more na nagmamadali sya, the more na alam niyang lulubog ang mga paa niya dahil sa force and weight na meron sya ngayon.



Summer scream nung ramdam nya ang bigat ng sitwasyon, and once again, the phoenix roared---fire bursting from its wings and hindi naman alam ni Summer kung matatakot ba siya o magmamdali. "Oh God, save me..." Napapaiyak na lang si Summer, pero napansin nyang masyadong mahina ang ibong iyon ngayon. Probably because sa force na binigay ni Yinxi para lang matulak ito papalayo.
