77- Lamia?
I know whats going to happen next and I dont think, I can watch this. Because if I did, then I will lose the last bit of will left to survive in and I might die due to this cruel reality.
So, I closed my eyes. I know that soone will force to open my eyes and look at scene that were going to follow but still, I will try to avoid this. As I am in no stage to handle the heartache that will follow.
Smack
And unsurprisingly, just as I closed my eyes, soone slapped . And using few fingers, they put pressure on my eyelids and tried opening them.
And just as my eyes were opened forcefully,
Flash
A powerful bright light was flashing in front of , which made close my eyes. And suddenly,
BOOM
I felt like sothing crashed and a huge gust of wind started.
Being injured and in no position to protect myself or hold on to sothing, I was blown away for few ters and fell face down. And then slowly I felt my consciousness slipping, and then I lost consciousness.
But before losing my consciousness, I muttered involuntarily
I am sorry Arlia...
.
.
.
Hmm...
Hmm..? ARLIAAA...
As soon as I opened my eyes, I shouted Arlias na. Because the last thing I rember was Arlia being dragged by the burly guy and I wanted to save her. So, involuntarily I used so strength to get up. But just as I moved a little, I felt extre pain and I scread loudly,
AHHHHH...
And the next mont, I heard the sound of door being opened and soone entering the room. But I was not in the condition to notice them because I was experiencing a hellish pain. It was just the vague sound that I subconsciously noticed and nothing else.
After few monts, I fell on my back and I tried not move again, as moving again might give more pain. But surprisingly, I felt that the ground was soft. And then I heard soones voice calling to ,
Orochi, Orochi are you feeling alright?
As I tried calming down and let the pain subside, my vision which was still blurry gradually returned to normal. And as I was lying on my back, I saw Arlia looking at with tears in her eyes.
Ha...Ha...Are you alright Arlia?
Was the first thing that ca out of my mouth.
Hearing my question, Arlia nodded and without waiting for her to speak, I continued
I..I am sorry that I was not able to save you and I am in such a pathetic situation.
Hearing this, the tears which had built up in her eyes, started flowing out. And as her face just above mine, all those fell on my face.
Seeing all the tears falling on , Arlia was startled and hurriedly wiped those tears from my face, with her hand.
Then she hurriedly replied,
No, I should be the one apologizing. Because it was who dragged you or else you have the speed required to escape on your own. But you did not and you ran while carrying , so I must thank you and also apologize to you.
No, you were not a burden. I told you that I will take us both out of the forest and I never go back down on my words. But because of my anger, I started fighting with the bald guy and because of that I did not take you away and we got caught by the Mughur Hunting group. And I failed to protect you. I am sorry.
Hearing this, Arlia started shaking her head from left to right and she was still shedding tears.
I felt an urge to stop her head and wipe those tears, but just as I tried lifting my hand, I felt extre pain and involuntarily hissed in pain.
Seeing groan, Arlia hurriedly wiped her tears and spoke
Orochi dont move. You are still injured and you are in no position to move. Rest assured that we are in my room and there is no danger.
Hearing this I was startled and seeing my expression, Arlia continued speaking,
Actually, you dont have to worry, we are safe right now. And...and I actually lied to you. Please forgive .
When I heard this, I got confused and asked her,
Umm..I dont understand Arlia. What did you lie about?
Arlia hesitated and her eyes were dodgy, but she finally opened her mouth.
Actually, I was running away from my ho and I did not know the way out of this forest. But after I t you and found out that you were also going out of this forest, I decided to join and I lied to you that I ca to the forest but later got lost. So, please forgive .
Huh? What is that supposed to an?
Wait. Wait. wait, I am not able to process anything right now. Maybe it is because of the backlash of getting tortured so much that, my brain is unable to handle so much data?
So, I asked Arlia,
Wait, Arlia. I am not able to understand anything. What do you an by - I ran away from ho and was unable to find my way out the forest? How did you get inside the forest in the first place and why are you running away? Could you please elaborate what you are trying to say?
Arlia hesitantly replied,
Umm... Orochi, please promise that you will not freak out and hate after hearing what I have to say, alright?
Seeing, Arlias nervous reaction, I felt sothing weird is going to happen but still, I replied to Arlia,
Ok. I promise that I will not freak out. So, please tell clearly.
Hearing my reply, Arlia took a deep breath and said,
I am a Lamia.
