The Arrow of the Goddess

The Arrow of the Goddess
Chapter 7 Anxiety



For two days Alexia was still weak without any signs of recovery. Ericsson is getting worried. Although at the beginning of his arrival was not wanted by the man, but he felt quite guilty because Alexia experienced it also because of him. Now his attitude is getting soft, he is trying to treat Alexia when her condition has not recovered. Although in these weak conditions, Alexia can still do pranks and also always tease him. And most importantly the appetite of the fruit still remains the same. 


"Well, even in this weak state, your fruit appetite still hasn't changed." Ericsson observed Alexia, who had spent a bag of apples.


"Of course, because the real thing is weakening it's just my physique and energy, and for other things I'm still the same and fine." Explain in a low voice that still sounds like a whisper.


"But there's one thing that's still bugging me. That much you eat, but never once have I seen you go to the toilet.! sorry, if I'm too late. You don't have to answer Alex." He seemed to be sorry that he finally talked about it. 


"Silly question, but I like it. Of course because I am a Goddess, and our people do not have bodies like humans. Which we do not have a digestive system, so want to eat as much as it is, we do not need to take it out like humans. So has your curiosity been answered now?" While explaining, the corner of Alexia's lips lifted. The woman changed her position a little. He looked towards Ericsson who was right next to him.


Feeling that Alexia was looking over, the man began to become misbehaved. As if something was wrong with him, he did not dare to look back at Alexia's eyes.


"Why do you keep looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"  Slightly glanced at Alexia, then turned her gaze away. The man who has not had that experience can still be forgiven for his good looks.


"No, it's just that I just realized something. That you're much more handsome when viewed from this close distance." Once again Alexia teased Ericsson, making the figure of the man next to her speechless. But who would have thought slowly he dared to approach. And now their faces are close together.


"Truely, then stop playing me." A reply was given by Ericsson. 


This made Alexia smile even more.


"It's time to go to work. And it looks like for tonight there will be additional work. Maybe I'll be home a little late. So with your current condition, you need to be more careful when I'm not around." Message before Ericsson went to work, where in fact he did not feel good to leave Alexia, but how else. It should work too.


During the two days Ericsson was not accompanied by Alexia, there were actually several occurrences of him seeing ghosts around him, but it seemed like they were still in safe frequency. Ericsson's food will always dodge when he sees them. Because if not so, later feared they could turn to target him. 


One by one customers are alternating, and most of them, are students who spend time shopping with their partners. But there was one couple who caught his attention. Until he can make her smile thinly. Especially if you look at the behavior of the woman, which seems to remind her of someone. That's right, that person is Alexia. He was always being ignorant and teasing her, even when she was sulking, to the point of making it bother her a little lately.


"The full moon ! is that all that will make him recover? If so, then there are still 4 more days to wait." Guman Ericsson is thinking about Alexia.

At the moment Ericsson can't just go home, he still has to clean up the warehouse. Where today change becomes his duty.  Just opened the door of the warehouse, it looks pretty much irregular stuff. He even made a long breath when he saw her.


Collecting empty cardboard boxes into one, rearranging the appropriate items in place, to calculate the remaining stock. Ericsson did everything according to the terms of the boss who had taught him. Because I'm used to it all being a lot easier.


"Huh.capekanya !" Sweat began to pour from his forehead. For a moment he sat down to get tired. 


"Leave the other side, then I can go home after this." Ericsson once again got up to finish the job. But this time he found something different.


While walking to the side of the warehouse that he still had not cleared, he saw a red spot on the floor. Out of curiosity his steps began to follow where the red spot came from. Unexpectedly he found the thing that made his hair goosebumps instantly. A black shadow filled with dozens or even hundreds of eyes stuck all over. 


And Ericsson realized he was in danger. So he slowly stepped back, trying not to make the shadowy figure aware of his presence. But unfortunately, one of the items accidentally fell, making a sound that attracted the attention of the black shadow. And just running became the last solution for Ericsson to escape. He ran quickly to the exit.


Cklek.


"Ericsson?" Call Alexia in her soft voice.


Since Ericsson went to work, Alexia began to feel something that made her feel unsettled, I don't know what it was, but she felt very uneasy. He kept thinking about Ericsson. Could it be if he was in danger?


Alexia thought Ericsson was coming home at the time, but unfortunately it wasn't her. Except his brother Brian. It was the first time Brian had met Alexia. The man's eyes also seemed to have fallen in love with the figure of the woman he had just met. She was fascinated by the beauty of the goddess. 


"Brian ! Hurry and help me. Take me to Ericsson's place of work now !" Said Alexia who seemed to have known the younger brother before.


Hearing his name called, dikaya rushed he was silent and dumbstruck. Because a woman as beautiful as Alexia knows her name.


"Hay.why are you quiet, quickly deliver me !" Alexia's voice made Brian come back to his senses.


"O-oh yeah, sure." He quickly agreed. After all, Brian could refuse the request of a beautiful woman, so he would definitely serve her. Because it's like it's already in the dictionary of his life.


Brian left with Alexia to work for Ericsson. And to catch the time they also use taxis to get there faster.
