The Butterfly Trap

The Part 16

I was awakened by the loud noise that hit the wall of the cabin, the sound of men cursing and cursing and also the sound of the fight and******* in pain.

' What's going on? did someone come to save me?' I thought as I opened my eyes, I could vaguely see a long-haired and white-robed man fighting with several men in black.

The fight seemed to be dominated by the white-robed man as several of the black-robed men fell to their shores.

" Fuck shithead!" I heard the voice of one of them.

Some time later all the men in black fell to the floor, the man in white robes came up to me and carefully untied me in my hands and at my feet, then disappeared leaving the messy cabin.

As he opened my blindfold, we were under a shady tree near a river, I looked at the man who had saved me, he looked out of breath, sweat pouring down his temple. The man was wearing very foreign clothes, I had never even seen such clothes in my entire life.

The lustrous silver long hair carried half on his head, coupled with the white color added to the perfect elegance that made me doubt whether this man beside me was really a man.

" Thank you for saving me, sir or Lady?" I said hesitantly.

He turned his head towards me, his hands still on his chest holding his breath up and down, although he looked at me sharply but that elegance was not off his face.

" What did you say, huh?" the answer is half angry.

' This voice...'

" Z.....ju?" ask me with hesitation.

" Fuck shit" he muttered still holding his chest with his hands, then he sat down under the tree, leaning his body against the tree trunk.

" Fuck" he said again.

I was still looking at his face, never thinking of me the true form of that arrogant white rabbit was this kind of beautiful and charming man, her lips are a sensual red that can captivate any girl who sees it even men will admit to her beauty.

" We don't have time, they will definitely chase here" he said on the sidelines of his still heavy breathing.

" Siallll" he shouted again.

I had not been able to answer the sound of footsteps that led to us quickly, Zeju pulled my hand away but he returned to my shape rabbit that made him cursing furiously.

" Here you look",

Three men confronted us, I recognized the voice of one of them, the one whom the other called Sir.

" I've been kind enough to let you live but you've stepped towards your death" he said grinning, a long great sword hanging in his hand, her burly body and her face deliberately covered with a handkerchief explained she did not want me to know her appearance.

" How did you escape, sweet huh?"

I immediately picked up the wood that was near me, retreating slowly I pointed it at them.

" Don't come any closer, my comrades are around here and they will definitely find me" I said threateningly.

He and the others laughed loudly.

" How about I kill you before your partner finds you, huh?" he was still laughing then swung his sword at me, I nimbly dodged.

"Not bad not bad"

I took Zeju off the ground and carried her and then turned to run away from them but she quickly pulled my hand and pushed me down.

" hahahaha you're even funnier than the rabbit you're holding" he said and was about to swing his sword at me again, I still fell down and I'm sure I won't be able to dodge his sword again.

Zeju nimbly leapt onto the man's body and kicked his eyes with his feet, in pain he threw Zeju aside, looking at his chairman who had been sitting down due to Zeju's attack, the other two people directly charged at him and swung their swords, they did not use their strength either because they were careful or indeed no one had any ability between them.

I ran towards Zeju and tried to protect him from the sword that was about to slash the small body so that my back became an easy target.

" It's stupid of you to protect that damn rabbit" shouted one of them.

" But enjoy your time in hell, haha"

He swung his sword back towards me, this time he targeted my neck, my gaze started to blur, there was no way I could avoid those two people, I could only close my eyes.

".....l.i....."

I faintly heard a voice calling out to me desperately, I wanted to open my eyes but it felt heavy, my whole body felt limp without bones.

' Did Zeju come back to save me? ah that little creature, when he hated me but why did he bother to save me, instead of running he was still here, stupid rabbit' I thought with a soft smile.

When I regained consciousness I was already in Zurich's house, I was lying in the room I used to hold and the smell of drugs stuck my nose.

" Thank God you've realized Miss"

I turned to the source of the voice, Red standing beside me with a glass of liquid in his hand, his face looking anxious and guilty.

" I'm sorry" he bowed his head to me.

" Why are you apologizing sir?"

" This is all because you saved me, if only..........."

" No" cut me off while trying to get up but because of the wound on my back I haven't been able to move my body.

" Don't move Miss"

I looked around me, a gentle breeze entering my room from the open window, the day was clear and the cloudless blue sky was clearly visible from my bedroom window.

" What time is it Sir?"

" About two and a half hours, you were unconscious for a week"

" A week?"

The door of my room opened, Zurich ran towards me accompanied by Claude behind him, he looked at me with a face full of regret but not a single sentence came out of his mouth, she just looked at me and held my hand gently.

" Thank God" she muttered, raising my hand to her face, then she kissed the back of my hand and gently stroked my hair.

" I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise to protect you, I'm really sorry" she said in a statement barely heard by me.

Somehow the attitude shown by Zurich was unusual, he looked like someone who almost lost half his soul, he clasped my hand tightly, I wanted to blame him for what happened to me, he said, but I realized, if I was given a choice between saving Red or leaving him, I would definitely choose to save him.

" It's Sir, what matters now is that I'm fine" I replied weakly and softly

He looked at me for a long time then sighed longly then he asked Red my situation, he explained that I had already gone through a critical condition and the wound on my back had also slowly started to dry up, too, with enough rest, I will be able to move in the next month.

I had boring days lying in bed, Zurich was by my side every day, when he was free he would come to my room and bring me my favorite food and some reading books to accompany me.

A few days later, Penelope came to visit, carrying a basket of fresh fruits and a large bouquet of lilies.

" Wish you a speedy recovery Miss Butterfly" she said, sitting beside my bed.

" Thank you"

" I envy you, Miss" he said suddenly.

I tilted my head in wonder.

" You can drive the commander half crazy when you find out you've been kidnapped"

' Commander? That cold Zurich? half-crazy? Penelope joked'

" You don't seem to believe it" she said, looking at my reaction with only a small smile on her face.

" Gini, let me tell you the chronology".
