Not Your Kind of Fairytale (English)

Part 4-Shila

I opened my eyes. At first I did not remember anything. after a while, it slowly started coming back. Blood . Crimson forest. Xeris.
I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I realized that I could not see properly, that everything was blurry.
Suddenly I heard a voice:
- I see you have woken up
It was the voice of a girl. I tried to answer, but no sound came out of my mouth.
- Don't worry, it will come back. Let me do the talking now.

I nodded with my head.

- My name is Shila. I was the one who shot you a week ago. I meant no harm. I thought that you were an animal of some sort. Your injury is not so bad. My father says that it only went through the left side of your head, and that you were really lucky. All that is going to be left is a scar next to your eye. I can not tell you how sorry I am, I could have left you blind, or even killed you!

I heard a door open. Someone had come in.

- Shila! Step away from the stranger. Don't bother him with your nonsense.

- I am sorry father.

She rose from her seat, touched my hand and left.
Her father and I were alone now. He came towards me and said:

- Excuse my daughter. She is too young and can sometimes be a burden, but she never means to annoy anyone.

I tried to speak one more time, but still, I was powerless to do anything.

- You shouldn't force yourself. You have been badly injured and it will take you some time to recover. I know that you must have many questions, but for now, try to get some sleep, and drink from the bowl on your right.

He left and closed the door. I was alone now. Me and my thoughts. I had so many questions. I did not know where I was, or if the King was looking for me. Shila said that I have been unconscious for 7 days.

I still don't know if I can trust them. For now, I will try to recuperate as soon as possible and when I am ready I will run away. I can't be here for a long time, because if the King hasn't sent troops to look out for me yet, I am sure that he will, and that it will be soon.
