AUTHOR POV:

PRESENT TIME:

Ara lets out a sob as she clutches on to her wound all in while crying as she accepts her fate. She closes her eyes to accept the slow death she'll have but sits up when she hears some rumbles from the walls. She sees a hand coming out from a small hole holding some kind of a strange paste.

"Here! It will heal your wounds." She slowly gets up and with steady steps she walked towards it as she gently took it. While doing so she sees his face from the small opening.

"You don't look like a prisoner" Ara exclaims while looking at him. fascinated by his beauty. "I don't?" The Man asked surprised.

"I thought you will be all dirty and covered in spider webs." Her remarks made a small smile erupt of his face.

"But you look-----" she shyly glances at him. "----different" His Beauty made her shy and with a shy smile she backs away mumbling a small thank you. As she reaches a little away from the hole she smells the medicine.

"It smells nice. What is it?" She asked while slowly bending down to a small area where she saw some water.

"You see those leaves above, this paste is from them to heal wounds." He softly replies as she starts applying the medicines on to her skin.

"You know what I realized?" "What?"

"That we haven't introduced ourselves. --------------My name is Ara what's yours?" After a minute silence he replies.

"I don't remember my name" his reply leaving her confused.

"How can you forget your own name?"

"You can---------------if you don't hear it or need it anymore" He stops talking as he see's Ara taking her shirt off exposing her back to apply the paste on her shoulder wounds.

"Yo-u ar-e vr-very beauty---" Fascinated by her he says.

"What? Are you looking at me?" "Yes!" He boldly replies without a hint of shame.

"Don't look" with shock she tells him again to not look at her as she removes her shirt, but like a confused boy he is he replies.

"But why?" "Why? ---------Don't you understand?"

"No I don't. --------------I look at birds and fishes, why can't I look at you?"

Instead of giving a reply she lets out a sigh knowing that it'll be impossible to win an argument with him. She hurriedly applies her medicine and covers herself again she looks down only to find a beaded necklace her father gave her, she picks it up and stares at it intensely, and asks him.

"Have you ever tried to run away?"

"You can't run away from here. It's an island" With a sigh he replies already knowing she'll planning something in her mind.

"You can just swim away" "The sea can kill too"

"Agrh!-------------- I need to find a big rock" Frustrated she yells making him move a little backwards. "Wh-y? what for?"

"So here's the plan when that evil creature comes back you'll distract it and I'll hit it we'll escape while the dragon sleeps." Ara moves around to look for a bigger rock while the man tries to get her in control.

"You can't leave this pit--------------- Only the dragon slayer can kill the dragon. You wait here he will come for you"

"ENOUGH!" She suddenly says a little loudly as she finally come forward and looks at him. "I have to escape, so will you help me?"
