After thirty minutes, we arrived at a village. The sky becomes a mixture of colors of blue, white, violet and orange.

The sun was about to set.

I roamed my eyes as I felt my body sway as we move closer to the village. Taking every single scene to etch in my memory.

My heart is thumping wildly as I arrive at a late realization.

'After four numbing years, I can finally be with people again. I was finally out of the forest.'
Thinking about those years, I felt uncomfortable. Shaking the depressive thoughts away, I turned my full attention to my surroundings observing in rapt attention.

"Jolline, I will be going home first. I need to put this little guy away, just in case. Right, just to be clear, I'm not gonna share my prey. After eating my bunny, it was only natural that this guy replace it."

The man holding me, suddenly spoke cutting my thoughts effectively. I suddenly remember the plump rabbit I had just before I was caught.

For a second I don't know what to feel.

So that's why the way he was holding me somewhat reeks of grudge. It feels 'personal'. Tough luck!

"Sure, sure by all means. Then might as well grab something to eat before going too. The report can wait anyway."

"You are right, let's just meet there."
Jolline clicked her tongue, "Everyone, how does 20:00 sharp sound?"

"08:00? sounds good to me!"

"Aye! No beer for us tonight. What a pity."

"I thought 20 hundred is 9. Numbers will be the death of me."

After a few grumblings, a collective agreement from the group of five resound with a hearty, "Yup."

With a few more steps, the group bid their farewells before they dispersed into different directions to head to their respective home.

The man took several twists and turns before stopping in front of a fenced bungalow.

It was already dark.

The man rummaged through his pocket, pulled a set of keys and inserted a key into the keyhole. With a twist the lock becomes undone.

"Nana! I'm back!"

H

e pushed the gate open, closed it and started marching towards the house. I stayed motionless while vigilantly watching his series of fluid action until we arrived at the backyard.

"Oh dear, after 3 nights, why are you back?!" A lively voice responded loudly from inside the house.
So harsh.

"Why else? This is my house so of course," The man carefully put me inside a cage as he continued, "I'll be back."

"Too bad, I thought I'll be collecting your will somewhere. What do you have there?"

I didn't move an inch when he took a knife and swiftly cut the ropes binding my limbs and removed the one on my mouth.

My knees feel wobbly.

"A meal."

For a moment I thought he was going to slit my throat making me hold my breath in instinct and my nerves taut as a drawn bow.

The two continued their light banter as the man left and made his way inside.

I let out a sigh of relief. My automatically ears perked up, listening to their conversation until their voices gradually lowered down and turned inaudible.

Are they asleep?

I gingerly move my limbs for a stretch but immediately grimace.

'I still can't move freely. The venom was more potent than I thought.'

The door on the left was suddenly pushed open catching me off guard. I quickly bowed my head and curled my body into a ball.

The lock on the cage opened accompanied by the man's voice,

"Here is your share. Eat up and grow quickly."

He put a silver bowl down and locked the cage again.

My nose twitched at a familiar smell, I unconsciously peered at the bowl and find meat placed inside. It was raw.
It looks fresh and delicious but I refuse to touch and eat it.

I don't think the bowl is new although it looks clean.

The man was gone. I lost track of how many hours has passed but I could not bring myself to sleep. All the excitement that happened today pushed me to stay wide awake.

'Why is it too dark. I hate it.'

Fog started to float around, dyeing the space with a greyish hue. Too eerie.
My body began to shake unconsciously. I exhaled and breathed and curled my body smaller.
I stretch my front left limb, lightly touching the metal bar.

'Thick, sturdy and cold.'

My nails lightly scratch it producing a sudden sharp metallic sound in the dead of the night making my teeth tingles.

Clang!

My head snap into my right. From afar a silhouette carrying a lantern welcomed my sight.

'Why is he here?'

His face partially hidden by his hair was dripping with water. A familiar yet unfamiliar jaw. A faint but conspicuous scent wafts delicately to my sensitive nose.

He took a bath in the middle of the night?

I could not turn my eyes away as I stared hard at his waist below. Our height difference made it hard for me to focus on his face and instead focused on his waist down.

The man leisurely walked closer while my gaze was fixated on him.

Whoa. I stiffened, eyes wide as a saucer.

The man is wearing nothing but a white towel casually draped on his waist, apathetic of the flaccid rod hanging in between his legs. The shape and length are faintly visible through the thin fabric.

It's not that I'm a pervert but the wet towel leaves nothing to the imagination.

My head suddenly feels light.

"I do not like the way you are staring at me. It is kind of weird but I do feel like I was being taken advantage of."

Before his voice was gone, a white towel landed squarely atop the cage. A towel? Does he not have a single towel?

Everything happened in an instant.
His figure is completely hidden from my view and yet my mind raced with different thoughts revolving around his physique.

Then is he in his birthday suit? Suddenly I feel quite regretful for being too obvious.
