Chapter 2

I opened my eyes and found my messy naked body lying on a cold, damp, and rough ground in what it seem like a cave. 

Shit

My head hurts, I can feel the icy cold wind. 

“I’m hungry and thirty”

I couldn’t even say it out properly. My throat is dry and sore while my stomach is growling of hunger. 

I couldn’t think of any thing but to find food or at least have water.

I stood up then aimlessly walk, it looks stupid but better than to stay and starve to death.

----------------------------------------

 I don’t know how long have it been since I started to walk, I could see the light not so far from where I am. 

Without a second of thinking, I made my way there. 

Gradually…the light filled my sight.

And just as it did, my eyes began to narrow.

It’s so bright. I felt as if I had been living in this cave my whole life and the light entered into my eyes like a flood of light burning away the retina of my eyes.

My narrowed eyes slowly adjusted to the light, then…

Wow 

I was stunned by the sight that lay in front of me.

What lay in front of me was a great forest. 

I was amazed but I couldn’t look at it forever and my eyes already started searching for anything to eat. 

As my eyes spin around looking for any berries or seed in the surrounding area. 

Suddenly, I heard a scream not so far from where I am. It make me shock of fear as I am slowly approaching where the voice had came from. 

I saw a woman and a man. There is nothing special about the woman except the fact that she was crying and begging on her knee for mercy from the man who hold a sword with blood dripping from it. 

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

I looked at them but I can’t do anything to help her because I don’t know to fight and even if I do I won’t be able to fight with a man who have a sword anyway. 

I turned and slowly making my way out of there without being noticed but then…

“Esmeralda, my goddess please save me. If I am saved I would give any thing that I have you.”

I heard a praying in my head from the woman begging the goddess to save her. 

At first I tried to ignore it but it becomes even louder and louder.

I can’t no longer endurance it, I turned and looking for anything that I can use to attack and protect myself as well as quickly come up with a plan to rescue the woman.

The longer the time I take to come up with a plan the nearer the man to the woman.

Suddenly like a strike of lighting an idea came into me head and I grabbed a tree branch that sharp enough to pierce through the skin. If I push enough force it would cut to the heart of man. 

I sneaked behind the man as he is walking to the crying woman. 

The man doesn’t seem to noticed my presence as he rose his sword upward and ready to strike but I was quicker, I pierce and pushed as I hard as I could. 

As soon as the man noticed me, he tired to swing the sword at me. But surprisingly I was able to dodge and kick him in the left leg and caused to fall on his back. 

The impact of him falling to ground caused the tree branch further in his body. 

He screams in agony as his blood continues to drip out of his body through the branch.

It was the most horrific scene I have ever see in my life.

I was scared to the point that I couldn't stand any longer and forget of everything that happened but to look at him and his slow death.

After what it seem like ages, I was able to collect and hold myself together and then pick up the bloody sword of the man’s hand and then turn toward the woman who is now fainted on the spot.

It seem that the fear of watching the man slowly death made me completely forget that I was hungry but still I need to food otherwise I would be starve to death and I can’t ignore the fainted woman.

I need to ask her name maybe after she wake up from her sleep. I carefully lift her and head to the cave where everything started.

The cave is for now the safest place for me to left her there while I went out to find food that we can eat. 

As soon as I entered the cave I leave her body not so far from the cave’s entrance and not to deep into the cave. I hid her among the rock so if there is anyone after they won’t be able to spot her easily. 

I walked out the cave and once again into the forest. 

There I began to search for wild berries and thank god I spotted a tree with a lots of fruit that look similar to blackberry in Earth but two times bigger maybe a size of an orange. 

I picked it and wondering if I can eat. But for some reason in my mine tell me that I could eat it and without a second thought I bit into it.

The fruit is juicy and it has a little mixed of sour and sweet flavoured as it flowed down my throat and to my hungry stomach.

I began to pick the fruits and eat a lot of it until my hunger is satisfied. 

After I was able to satisfy my hunger I head back to the cave without forgetting to bring lot of those fruits with me incase the woman hungry after she had a nice long sleep.
