Wings & Dreams

Ch.23 - Danger

"Ohh!!"

Thanks to my screams, the birds that originally settled on the tree branch flew away. Right now I'm fucking. My feet tripped over rocks and now my face is dirty from the mud.

"Uhhh!!" I used my elbows to get up, then tidied up my messy hair. Still closing my eyes, I could feel the sticky mud on my face.

"Why are you?" Mumamku annoyed. "When you're used to living in the woods. Why did it fall?"

Kkak! Kkakk! I was struck by the sound of crow's screams up there. As a result, my elbows and knees became painful. I grimaced in pain.

I have lost my direction for hours. I should have thought twice about running away from Chrys.

It seemed better to be held in that dark room than to be lost in the wild.

My grandmother taught me how to survive in the wild. I have often camped in the forest, because Norlata Village is located very close to the forest.

"Hungry..." I muttered while rubbing my stomach. I walked with a limp, while my right hand held my waist which was still not healed. I'm like a Granny.

Grandmom. Where're you? I haven't seen you in a long time.

Last time I saw him in a dream. Just an ordinary dream, not a fantastic dream that can see the future. I still remember Grandma's message to me, which was the presence of someone who would love me so much.

What person is Zeyn?

But it's impossible, I'm shaking. It felt like I was betrayed. It's why I got separated from Jon. He also restrained me, and treated me as if I were his prized possession.

Is correct. Once I think about it, it's not the form of love I want to get. What kind of man would tie his own lover, to the point of almost hurting him? He's also the same guy who broke my friend Clora's heart.

Then there's Rio. I'm now starting to understand why that guy hates Zeyn. He was a two-faced man.

But what if I'm wrong? Thought. You can't judge others based on your own thinking. You could be wrong, Clara.

The sound of tree branches scattered my daydreams. I turned to the source of the voice, but still saw no one.

Did Chrys find me? Thought panicked.

The trees suddenly swayed. The wind is not blowing. Before long, I felt a tremor on the ground. I gasped and lost my balance.

"Man! Man!" I heard the screams of a woman. "Friends, look!"

Oh naw. I forgot that I'm the target of the Fae. Since I was no longer within the reach of Zeyn or Chrys, I was putting myself at greater risk.

"Oh! She's not that girl?" Whisper friend. When I wanted to escape, I was already surrounded. I saw three Fae, and all of them were very young.

"Hehe." One of the men pointed a sharp knife at me. "We're not in vain hunting in the Greek Forest, even though we didn't manage to get at least a deer antler."

"Really, right!" Timpal's his girl friend.

"Hey!" One even scolded his two friends. "You guys! I told you, we can't hunt Fae's animals! You want to be punished?!"

"Rules are made to be broken" the man said again. "Don't be sok alim. You two, get him."

As fast as lightning, both of my hands were already held back.

"Let go of me, you wayward boys!"

"What did you say?!" Plaac!!

"You're just a dirty creature! You don't deserve to say that!"

Oh gosh. Did I just get insulted by the kids?

The baddest man played his knife again. I know what he's up to. I panicked when I realized he had black wings.

The black?! She's Fae what?!

"Bunches, huh?" Not for a second, my arm had been cut off by his knife. The blood dripped out before I could blink.

My head suddenly twitched. Oh, what is this sensation? I closed the wide wound on my arm, then wide-eyed at the sight of the strange black liquid.

"A.lian..te...ga..."

Bruuk!! I fell unconscious from poisoning.
