Loving Lucifer Ep 10: Sweet Escape
745 Words
Darkness. Trees. Him.
Those are the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes. After grabbing me and carrying me in his back, he brought me here in this who-the-hell-knows part of the forest. I can't believe that he can run that fast. Who is this? I tried to stand up but I just fell back on the ground. I felt a little dizzy. My knees are shaking as well.
"Stay still. Don't move. I told you to go away but you didn't listen!" I heard him say in an angry tone.
"Where are we? Why did you bring me here?! I want to go home now!"
"Oh really now?! That's what I keep on telling you earlier remember?!"
I don't know where am I. I don't know this guy. I don't know if I can go home on time. I think of mom. I started to panic.
"Hey, I want to go home now. Just tell me the direction. I can walk on my own." I am now desperately asking him.
"Are you trying to make me laugh?! Do you think you can just run til you reach the road. You can barely walk dummy. And to let you know, we are in the middle of the forest."
He's right. I still feel weak. I'm not sure if its because I am scared or its because of the way he carried me a while ago. I don't think I can walk a long way too.
I felt cold because of the wind. I crawled to sit near him. He is just watching me. He is sitting beside a tree that is not far from where I am formerly seated.
"Why did you bring me here in the first place?!" I suddenly asked.
"Shut your mouth and save your energy." He's being impatient now.
"Is there someone else here besides the both of us?" I remember the weird sound earlier that cause him to run.
"One more word from your smart mouth and your dead!"
"I'm just-"
I stopped. Looking to his face despite the darkness made me shiver.
I want to ask him a lot of questions but by the look of him seems that I will not get any answer.
He look so guarded. He is not relaxed. Looking at him this close made me realize that he's quite good looking. He has a rugged look that makes him more manly.
I wonder how he look in broad daylight. This man was just in my dream but I am now sitting beside him.
"How come- oh sorry! No more talking."
"Be patient, You will be safe in any moment." He said.
"Wake up sleepyhead, I'll bring you in the roadside now."
I open my eyes when I heard his voice. I didn't notice that I fell asleep. He reach for my hand and carried me again to his back.
I am not dreaming now. I am wide awake. I can feel the cold wind in my face. I am on his back and he is running or I think flying is the right word? He is amazingly fast.
We reached the roadside in a blink of an eye. He put me down and again I lost my balance. His movement is unbelievable.
"Can I talk now-?"
"No."
"But- Oh! What's the time now?!"
I realized that the sky is a little bright now. My mom!
I run as fast as I can to the waiting station of bus. I checked my pocket to look for my phone. It's not there. Where was it? Oh no! It might have fallen when I was on his back. I need to look for it but I have no more time.
I saw the pepper spray and small knife. I look back to him. He is still standing there. I run towards him and hand him my two self defense tools.
"Take it. Use that if needed. Thank you for saving me. But I have something important that I think fell when we run. My phone. I hope you can find it for me. I will be back later to look for it. If there's any call or messages don't answer it. And-"
I heard the bus. I have to go now.
"I'll be back! See you!"
I run to ride on the bus. He didn't move in his place. In his hand, is the pepper spray and the small knife I gave.
