Ascend The Heavens

She almost died

Sun hee woke up at the same time that the sun was setting, she slowly got up from the bed and opened her eyes. Everything around her was pitch black and it took her a few minutes to adjust to the darkness. She felt refreshed and energized after her nap, the soreness in her body from before was gone. She got up and stretched her muscles before she sat back down on the bed.

'I had the weirdest dream ever. There was a flying man in a white robe above me and a talking fox that called me master.' she thought to herself as she sat in the room. She got up and walked towards the door and bumped into the table. "Owch!" she yelled in pain.

"Who placed a chair in my room?" she asked no one in particular. She kept walking and bumped her foot and the wall, "O my goodness!" she cried as she clutched her foot. She searched the wall for the light switch but couldn't get it. "Where the heck is it." she cursed and continued searching for the switch. She got tired and sat down on the ground and cursed her luck.

"Are you looking for something," she heard a cute voice ask her inside the darkroom.

"Who is there?" she asked her blood going cold from fear.

"It is me, master," replied the cute voice. She pitched herself very painfully and yelped loudly. 'This is not a dream,' she noted and got back to the situation at hand. If she wasn't dreaming then everything that happened to her earlier was all true and if so then where the hell was she. Fear clawed through her at the thought of the man in white robes. She got up from the floor and found the door before running out.

She ran as far as her feeble legs could take her, she had no idea where she was going all she knew was that she had to get out of there. She ran so fast and left the house after passing so many doors and rooms. She ran past the security man in such a hurry that he didn't see her. She kept running without looking back hoping in her heart that she will find herself back to civilization by the time she stops. The thought of that talking fox gave her the courage to run further.

She ran for a very long distance that she grew tired and stopped to rest. She leaned at the tree behind and caught her breath, her heart was burning so much. She inhaled and exhaled so much until she felt that she was okay. She took in her surroundings and her heart tightened with fear. She was standing in the middle of nowhere with trees in each direction she turned. If she didn't know better she would have thought that she was dreaming about being in the forest at night but it wasn't a dream.

She heard a tree branch breaking and turned her head in that direction. Her heart was pounded so fast in her chest and she froze. She regretted her decision of running out of wherever she had woken up to because now she had dug her own grave. She saw glowing eyes in the dark, not one or two but many eyes in the dark. She was not one to wait around to find out if those were special effects of a movie. She got to her feet and started running again this time in the direction opposite the glowing eyes that were also following her. She ran so fast and reached a clearing where the light of the moon shined and the light eliminated the darkness from earlier.

She could now see clearly what it was that was following her, she turned around, and what she saw almost sent her to the land of the dead. Behind her were blue wolves with red eyes that were the size of an elephant. The whole pack was running after her to make her their dinner. She increased her speed and ran even faster, there was no way she was going to become dinner for the hungry wolves. 'Who in there right increased the size of these vicious creatures!' she screamed in her mind as she ran.

She was getting tired and there was no way she was going to outrun those evil things. She needed water so that they won't be able to track her without her scent. She kept praying for a water source of any kind as she runs and just then she heard a waterfall at a distance. She ran towards it and when she got there she didn't hesitate to jump in. The water was cold but she didn't mind as long as she didn't become dinner for the hungry wolves. She sighed relief and relaxed for a while, her whole body was aching from all the running she was doing. She closed her eyes and allowed the magic of the cold water to do its job by making numb her pain.

She was enjoying the cold water when she felt an electric shock, she opened her eyes and scanned her surrounding carefully. She saw something moving in the water and her body tensed. The fear for survival returned and she started moving. She swam as fast as she could but could feel whatever creature that was in the water following. She swam faster and faster but she was already tired so she had no idea what to do. The creature was black with shinning white lights on its body and every time it moved electric waves got released into the water.

If she doesn't die from being eaten then she will die from electric shock. She understood one thing about the land that she has found herself in. It was not a place for her to move around without caution and it was reckless of her to leave the house like that. Her energy was running out and she wanted to give up but then she heard whistling in the distance. It sounded not far away from and swam towards the sound. She saw a man in white fishing and went in his direction, the newfound hope pushed her to go even faster. She screamed for his help and kept swimming onwards.

He looked in her direction and saw her struggling to reach him, he also saw the sea monster chasing after her and knew he had to do something. He turned around and sat down in her direction and watched as she swam. He smiled at her speed and encouraged the creature to swim faster or it will miss its dinner. He cheered for both of them and clapped occasionally.

Sun hee could not believe the nerve of that man, she was busy fighting for her life and he is cheering like a fan at a football arena. She was fuming with anger and was not going to spare that man. She swam even faster to get to him and kill himself for taking pleasure in seeing her suffer. She reached his boat and reached out her hand for him to help her up but he just sat there watching her. She bit her lower lip and pulled herself up and onto the boat just in time to escape the creature that had his mouth opened to swallow her.

She sat down to catch her breath before she commits murder. Twice tonight she almost died in this godforsaken place and she was furious. Once she calmed down she got up and stood in front of the man who got himself a VIP ticket to watch her misery. She glared at him and he got up to congratulate her on her victory when she pushed him in the water. She started laughing at him and he got off the water and boarded the boat. She kept laughing at his wet appearance and he raised his head to look at her and she froze. It wasn't the kind of froze she had earlier but a different kind of froze. Even in the dark, she could see how gorgeous he looked.

He was even more beautiful than all those k drama actresses she saw on the television. The moonlight made him appear like a character described in a fairy tale book. His soft piercing eyes staring directly into her soul, his perfect sharp nose, long waist-length gray hair that shined under the moon and his pink thin lips that were dripping water looked so alluring. She was barely able to breathe after seeing his appearance and cursed her luck. She has lived her twenty years in the past being single when there was such a beauty somewhere in the world.

She swallowed hard and kept staring at the angel in front of her. He didn't mind her staring at all, he took his fishing rod and went back to what he was doing. His hair and clothes dried the minute he sat down. "You know that you have a spirit animal right? You could have called its name and it would have appeared to save you," he said as he whispered.

Hearing what he said brought her back to her senses, "How did you know that I have a spirit animal?" she asked becoming suspicious of the beautiful man.

"The glowing mark on your back asking you to call your spirit animal when you were in danger gave an i***t like me a hint," he said with sarcasm making her feel stupid but in her defense, she didn't know. Mk
