/ MIKAEL /
I opened my eyes just to see an old hag whose eyes are intently darted towards me.
I tried to move but my body is trembling with pain and I can still feel the stinging sensation on my neck.
"Huwag ka muna mag gagalaw hijo," the old hag said. She stood up where she was seated and walks slowly towards me.
Tsk. Old hag.
Am I inside a cabana? Where the fuck am I?
She got herself a wet towel from the side table of where I am laying.
She tried to wipe it on my face but I avoided her hands. She slightly smiled.
"Huwag kang mag-alala dahil makatutulong ito sa iyong pag galing," she said while smiling and successfully wiped the wet towel on my face. I flinched a little because of its temperature, it gave me warmth...
And she smiles so bright...
Like a caring mother.
I focused my gaze towards her tireless eyes.
Damn it, where is mom, by the way? I'm missing here like crazy.
My attention quickly went to the woman who just entered through the thick curtains of the cabana.
Ezra.
I look at her from head to toe.
Her hair is in a messy bun with a tiara made of small vines and flora. She's wearing a necklace with a pendant of a small crescent moon made of wood. Her right ankle is wearing a simple anklet made of black strings and small seashells. Her left arm, right leg, and abdomen are tattooed with different patterns and symbols that I don't know the meaning. She's wearing a sleeveless decent bralette and a skirt an inch above her knee with a short slit in its left part. Her bralette and skirt are one with the colors of nature, different shades of green and brown. Yet she is still holding the bow and at her back are the arrows that I saw her with before I pass out.
She looks very dangerous with her piercing eyes, soft with her natural blush on her cheeks, adorable with her straight nose, and seductive with her thin and pinkish lips.
She is a goddess with a bit of danger.
She is like a huntress.
Her presence is breathtaking causing me to stop breathing for a while.
But this old hag is not bothered at all and still continues to wipe my face down to my neck.
"Apo," she bowed and stand straight...like a warrior ", handa na po ang mga tao para sa pagpupulong tungkol sa hindi inbitadong panauhin," she formally said and looked at me straight in the eyes without showing any emotions.
"What?Ako ba ang uninvited guest?," I said inside my head.
What the hell? I did not even plan to be here on the first place.
"Tatapusin ko lang ang aking ginagawa dito, Kappia," she said while wiping my chest down to my abdomen.
Kappia?
I've known her as Ezra.
Did she kidnap me?
She bamboozled me? She's a swindler? Scam artist? God damn it!
"Hintayin mo na lamang ako sa labas at susunod ako," old hag said.
"Masusunod po Apo," Ezra said, should I call her Kappia, now?, she bowed and walk towards the curtains to get out.
