Dream Realms

Chapter III

I am so looking forward to the replies to this chapter. She finally gets to meet the guy. Kyaaa!!* fan girl cry. As the proverb goes, "Spring is here." (lol) 

I was in an underground mall, and there were people after me.  I didn't know why, or how, I just knew that they were after me, and I had to run away. Faster, faster. Gunshots rang out, a glass panel shattered besides me. I ran into a small alleyway, and hid behind the counter in a shop. Footsteps. click, clack, click, clack. They were slowly approaching at a steady pace. I tried to calm my heart and breath through my nose. My head was pounding. A chuckle.

"So thats were you are, girl." A man stood above me and aimed his gun.

"Sweet dreams." He snickered.

Bang!

I broke out in cold sweat, and jerked up. I was still breathing, yes, living, definitly. I looked around, it was a different place from the clearing. My staff was next to me. Slowly, I recalled the events that happed. Gasping, I made sure I was completly intact after a full examination. In better shape actually. I was bandaged, and my wounds stopped bleeding. I struggled to get up, and winced, the wound in my leg hasn't completely healed yet. It was dawn. I looked around, the hooded figure was nowhere in sight. I shivered, the yelps and whine of the wolves haunted me. I touched my face. Blood was still there. I had to escape, I had to run, fast and swiftly away from here. I gathered my things. The campfire was still burning. The person was probably still near here. Slowly, I made my way out of the clearing and began running blindly in the forest.

Suddenly, I hit a wall. 

"Ow" Someone winced. 

I stumbled and fell on the ground. Someone groaned under me. I scrambled up, "Sorry." I muttered.

"Its alright, glad that you are up."

I looked up at the person I hit. He had black hair with wavy curls that fell on his...eyes? I wasn't sure. One of his eyes was purple, with flecks of gold inside, but his other eye was covered by a black eyepatch reiforced with silver, and some strage rune on it. I shrugged off an uncomfortable feeling of unease. 

But at that moment, his words hit me. "glad that you are up." An I saw. He wore the same cloak that the stranger wore, and he also had a scythe, now cleaned and shining under the sunlight. 

I inched back, fear crawling down my spine. He noticed my reaction, and sighed.

"There really isn't any need to have fear. I won't hurt you, or else I wouldn't have bothered saving you at all." He grinned.

Temporary relief washed over me, but my guard was still up.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I demanded.

"That really is some wasy to talk to you savior. You owe me a great debt now."

Great, ANOTHER debt.

"Whatever, but -"

"And that debt is going to be one hard debt to pay off." He continued smoothly. "I don't suppose you have any money? Well, I will call you whenever I need your help." He stood up. "Bye, bye, human girl." He looked at me expectantly, and flew over. Or at least thats what I thought he did. He grinned and whispered in my ear. "I'll take this as the thank you that you haven't given to me yet." With that, he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.

I felt myself blush. "Hey how dare you b-" I turned around to yell after him, but he was gone already as if he was the wind. 

I swear the next time I see any grinning face like his, I will tear them off. Wolf in a lamb coat.

I spend that whole day thinking malicious thoughts of what I would do next time if I ever saw him again. Definitly, I will definitly give him a piece of my mind. 

I found the herb faster than I expected. It had a light bule/lavender color that glowed softly at night. Learning from my mistakes, I started the campfire early. No use in having wolves after me again. I also kept my staff beside me as I slept. Tomorrow, I will go back to Bakaun and resume my daily life here. Here huh, When will I ever see my family at home again...
