She passed out for the second time

“ Don’t tell me you are stupid and dumb at the same time , tell me where did you keep your ears when I said that no you should lay a finger on her “

“ I never did , his majesty , we had to keep her away from the cold that was the only real reason why we took her in , we didn’t lay a finger on her , we were just doing all our best to protect her .

“Protect “ he growled .

“ one more words from you , and I will make you regret ever knowing me “

From where I laid , I could hear the conversation in hard , cold and tense voices , I didn’t know why and what was happening but I knew that it was not my home , my home and my parents never spoke this away and their accent was a bit off , I knew definitely this wasn’t home that I knew that .

“ You better make sure she comes home safe and sound , I do not want a scratch on her when she eventually comes but if you do , I am going to kill you and hang your head at the center of the pack , do not dare to get on my nerves .

Hearing those words , I knew that it was time that I opened my eyes .

The moment my eyes flew open , I came in contact with the fireplace that was set right in front of me .

My heart melted seeding it alone .

I couldn’t believe what was going on as my head was in a sudden state of panic and so many thoughts went through my head at that moment , I could feel it .

“ you just didn’t do It “

I raised up my head and I saw a young boy , from where he was I could tell that he was just older than me with a few sge , I knew it .

When he got in , ge started at me and dashed out .

“ she’s awake “ I heard him scream from outside .

I stood up Immediately but the moment I did , I could feel my legs go wobbly , it was as if I was trying to digest what was happening .

It was at that moment that i began to remember all that had happened .

I went into that ritual and I saw that monster , that beast , it’s a good thing that my ass got saved , I couldn’t imagine what I might be going through .

I rushed out of the cave. All I wanted was to thank whoever had saved me but when I got out , I met a group of five boys .

I tried my best to process what was happening , they all had that dead stunning look that I hadn’t seen from anybody in my village , I couldn’t understand what was going on .

They didn’t seem to care if I was there or not , they were just calm and just acted like I wasn’t there .

I didn’t know what else to say to them with their cold nature but one thing I knew was that , no matter what it was , I had to be grateful to them for saving my life .

“ I don’t know which of you saved me from that beast , I just want to say a big thank you and , when I get home , I am going to tell my dad, who is the eldest of the community, to reward you all handsomely .

The boys didn’t even dare to turn to look at me , none of them seemed to care about what I was saying and that made me a bit confused as to what was going on .

I wanted to scream at them and asked them why they were being cold and that was when I noticed a guy coming out from the woods again .

From his footsteps alone , I could tell that he is handsome .

I waited for A while and when he got a bit closer , it dawned on me that it was Octavio , the boy I had met the night that I found out that I was in the ritual .

Octavio `` I yelled and without waiting for his reply , I ran towards him and getting to where he was I jumped on him and hugged him so tight .

I didn’t know why I did that but I was so happy that I saw someone that I knew that made me felt safe ,

I knew that no matter what, he was definitely going to protect me .

I just loved the fact that he didn’t push me away or even still shout at me , he just stayed dead in that position without saying a word , but one thing I noticed was that he never dared to hug me back .

After hugging him for a while , I pulled away and looked at his face .

Thank you for rescuing me , I shouldn’t have known that night I saw you , you are god sent “ I told him and pulled away .

He never replied to any of the things that I said , but he just had a blank stare on his face without looking at me .

He turned to look at the boys .

“ you should take her in and keep her company , once it’s almost dawn , we are taking her home “

When I heard home , I groaned so widely .

The thought that everything was over and I was finally going home made me so happy that I wanted to scream and cry my lungs out .

I couldn’t wait to go home and celebrate with my mom for getting pregnant with two beautiful handsome boys that I could never imagine regardless of what it was , I just loved her .

Octavio didn’t look at me and just walked away .

I didn’t bother to seem stressed about his character , I didn’t know why I felt this way with him .

I didn’t know why I had to trust a complete stranger that I had no idea about , but one thing I knew was that I felt safe whenever I am with him .

“ You have to come with me, '' one of the boys said .

I never said a word to him , I just nodded my head ahd without waiting for a reply , I got into the cafe .

It was still dark and as I walked in , I had so much thirst going through my head .

When I got to where I had laid , I just sat there waiting for him to tell me , the guy sat right beside me and then he smiled softly Without looking at me .

“ you should just be quiet and never say a word again , you really do not want to get on his nerves , I promise you “

I raised my head to stare at him .

I didn’t know what to say and I had no idea why he threatened me and told me to keep mute , that was so unlike me , but I just wanted to go home and since they saved me , I would do all that I could to make sure that I weren’t angry .

The boy stood up and was about to leave and that was when I stood up and held his hands .

“ Please stay, “ I whispered to him .

I could see the shocked expressions come to his face and he quickly pulled my hands off and stared at me .

“ you don’t want to get me killed right ?” He half yelled at me .

I could feel the fear in his voice as he spoke to me and all that I wanted to do was tell him how sorry I was .

From where I stood , I could feel a pair of eyes watching us , it seemed like he had gotten to notice it too and so he pulled away from me .

I turned and then I saw him standing just by the edge of the cave staring at the both of us .

This time , it wasn’t the guy that I had seen in my town that had helped , the person that I saw right there was no other than a wounded lion and all I could get were flashbacks of that monster I had seen .

I dropped back to the floor without looking at him as the fear dinked into me .

I could not imagine what would have happened if he wasn’t there To save me .

What if ,

I had so many thoughts going through my head at the same time , I had seen most of the girls with their heads off .

What if I am the one for the final ritual and they were meant to kill me .

I kept going wild with my thoughts , but the best thing I felt in my head was a hard bang .

I felt my head go wobbly again and I passed out .
