unknown girl: because i'm the one that saved you.

me: yeah....you did cause even people pursuing us also want us alive.

Unknown girl: trust me I mean you no harm ......look around you we are the only one here.

.

I see that she was saying the truth cause there's no one here so I release the dagger from her

Neck and move away from her.

Went outside the badlands to fetch them and when they see you people, they decided to make use of you, cause you are many and young as well, they killed your supervisor cause they are way too old to be use.

.

me: but why is this happening now, this is not the first time our school as been coming here.

.

zara: yes.....you are right......every first 5days of every months a portal will open that allow our people to go in search of children to use and the reason the people that came before you were not taken is because they didn't come in the first 5days of the months the portal is not open.

.

me: i'm very sure my people from our world will be searching for us by now and they find this place they will kill all of you.

zara: they can't find this place cause the portal is closed.
