The Deep Forest

Meet again

William looks at his cell phone anxiously. He continued to stare at it as if hoping for a miracle to come. His face looked very tired and his curly hair was disheveled.

He regretted something, he wanted to shout against the wind that was blowing harder. He looks so desperately. The door of the living room creaked and a middle-aged woman entered.

William stood up and immediately hugged her. The warm caress of her hand made William feel a little calm.

"They should have arrived yesterday ..." William said

"I know"

 Alice's mom's voice sounded very weak. Her tired eyes look very clear on her beautiful face. Looks they really want to meet with Alice

"This is all my fault, I should have told her. No, I should have hid her well ... "

Her words hung unresolved. The sound of tree branches hitting William's house window. He saw tears welling in her eyelids. William chose to be quiet and listen.

Because he also feels guilty. These feelings continued to haunt him. The image of Alice disappearing was carried away into the middle of nowhere disturbing his mind.

William looked at the old painting of his house and immediately stood staring at the open door. His face was shocked

"They're close," he said to Alice's mother and immediately ran out of the house

***

Alice saw her house from a distance. Somehow the journey to her house became very fast. Even though she was sure that Dylan's house was very far away.

She immediately sat up straight and took off the seat belt. Seen Will and his mom waiting anxiously. Dylan wore his sunglasses lying on the dashboard. When the car stopped Alice immediately went down and ran

Her mother immediately hugged her. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Meanwhile, William focused on Dylan, who had just come down while walking to the front of the car. William approached him with clenched fists

He held the collar of Dylan's shirt tightly. His expression was very angry

"yesterday. You promised to bring Alice home yesterday. you bastard "he said

Dylan did not move. His view is blank. From a distance, Alice was surprised to see William screaming at Dylan. She wants to break up when her hands are pulled by her mother. Alice gave a questioning expression and her mother just shook her head as if to tell her not to interfere

Alice was very afraid, she felt Dylan would not hesitate to kill William. Alice frowned and tried to release her mother's hand

Dylan raised his hand and held William's wrist as he put his face close

"For a porta, you're quite excited," he hissed. William tightened his grip

"But ... apparently you're not completely perfect, ah ... I remember that old man died before carrying out his obligations"

Hearing Dylan's words, William was furious. He smiled sarcastically

"I also forgot that I was dealing with an imperfect prince. Or can I say half prince? "

Dylan's expression turned flat. He immediately held William's wrist off his shirt and knocked him to the ground. William could not move, blood came out of his mouth

"Know your place. A mere human likes you ... "

Dylan only pointed his finger without touching William's body. His expression turned dark. William looks restrained. Dylan Slowly distracted by Alice who struggled in the arms of her mother who saw William dearly. his eyes turned to the woman who looked at him angrily. Then he lifted his lips

"Long time no see lily," Dylan said

Alice's mother sighed while tightening her grip. Alice was surprised to find that the two of them knew each other.

"Dylan" she said, almost whisper

They both looked at each other as if to start a war. Alice could only focus on Will who was in pain. She immediately let go of his mother's grip and ran towards William

 Lili just shook to see her daughter running carelessly towards Dylan who was binding William with magic.

"Alice! No! "

Dylan saw Alice who ran toward him smiling satisfied as if waiting for the moment to see the next victim. But instead of getting hurt, Alice was fine and immediately sat holding William's shoulders and wiped the blood in his mouth.

Dylan stunned. During this time no one has ever easily broken his magic even though a high-level elf though. He still doesn't believe what he sees. His hand felt throbbing pain as if the effect of his magic was returning on him

Alice called William who only coughed a little. She shed tears and raised her eyes to Dylan who was still silent

"Monster" she said
