Wild People [OLD VERSION]

Part 7

When Lucy invited me to the springs she forgot to correct herself. She lead me throught the forest to hot springs. HOT springs.

When we came 4 women were there. They looked at us and smiled.

'Ahh, the newcomers!' Woman with long red hair said and invited us to join them. We took our clothes off and sat next to them. They were friendly women who asked us all the questions they could think of about place we came from.

After about an hour when we talked about New York women left and I with Lucy continued to enjoy hot water. I could feel my muscles relax after all the work.

'How long will we be here?' Lucy asked out of the blue and I looked at her surprised.
'You can leave whenever you want, but I will stay for some time. I don't want my ex spouse to find me so easily' I said and Lucy sneered.
'Like I will leave you alone'

I just signed.
'As you wish' I said and stood up. It was getting late so we hurried up. When we reached the river I remembered that I needed to fill my water sacks for cleaning after buchering work tomorrow.

'Go ahead I need to fill these' I said to Lucy and showed the thingies. She just nod and walked off while I went next to the river. Meredith said not to cross it but she didn't say anything about going into the water.

Thinking about it for few seconds I took my shoes off and went in. When I was in the middle where the flow is strongest I opened first sack and started to fill it in.

After 15 minutes all of 7 sacks were filled. I rose up.

'Holy ducks' I let out a curse and took a small step back.

In front of me stood a man. A man that clearly was NOT from the village I was living. He was tall, had a really nice and fit body his muscles showing off. He had short brown hair with shaved ornaments on the side. He wore leather pants and boots with belt around his waist full with daggers.

But what took me back was his stare. He just stood there not moving and was staring at me. I grabbed my water thingies only to see him watching my every move. And then it hit me. I was standing like 2 meters away from him and his territory. He was waiting for me to cross the river.

A smirk appeared on my face. His eyebrows went up as if saying "what the fuck is wrong with you". I simply took my sacks and looked at him.

'In your dreams' I said and walked to my side of river. When I looked back he was gone.
'So I was right' I said to myself and went home.

It was completely dark by the time I reached the house. When I walked in I was greeted by whole family running to me.

'Where the fuck were you ?' Meredith asked with worry.
'Uhh, filling these' I said and put all sacks down.
'We thought you were taken' Lucy said and I remembered my encounter with the wild man. He looked like an indian or something and I couldn't deny - he was freakin' hot. But I chose to keep quiet about it.

'Don't worry, I'm not crossing that river anytime soon. Now sorry, but I'm tired' I said and we said our goodnights and I went to my room. Now I knew how one of the wild people looks like.
