Lost Times

New Encounter. (7)

*7 years later...*

Grown Alice was playing to their backyard when she hears cries nearby.

"Huh? I thought I've heard something.." She heard it again even louder this time.

"Who's that?! Where are you, show youself! Hm.. Wolfe, over there.!" Alice pointed on one of the bush. "Go through that bush!" Wolfe followed, then Alice saw an injured boy. He was black haired and has green eyes whose likely a little bit older than her.

"Go away!" Cried the mysterious kid. Wolfe howls, then he got scared of Wolfe. "Ah!" The kid cries.

Alice thought for a moment. "It's okay Wolfe.. Here, I got this fast healing antidote that pops game me so I wouldn't get hurt. I carried this with me all the time."

"No, leave me alone.." Alice raised one eyebrow. Alice grin slightly. "Well okay, Wolfe, let's go." Alice was about to walk away, when the little boy thought for a moment. "Ahh no. Wait! Are you sure you can do that?.." Said the boy. Alice turns her back to face him. "Of course! Just trust me.."

Later then she gently apply the antidote to the boy's scratched legs. The boy stares at it (Wound). "It slowly vanished!?" He said with a bit of disbelief. "It slowly vanished.. Where did you get that?!" The boy asked.

"I don't know it's from pops. He makes this. I guess it's his specialty." Alice said warily. "That's so cool." Said the boy.

"Wait, I haven't know your name yet.."

"I'm Zian Drail. And you are?"

"My name is Alice Ruess. Could we be friends?"

"Yeah okay."

"Wait- d'you get lost? You're the first one I saw here.. Not that I want pops to get mad again, he said I shouldn't ask questions."

Zian looked around then saw a small but humble house.

"You live here?" He ask.

"Yeah, where do you live?"

Then suddenly Jobe noticed Alice was speaking to someone. "Alice!" Jobe called her. Then Jobe came to them drying his hands from the dishes. "And who are you? Alice, what did I tell you don't go faraway outside with Wolfe." Then Jobe turns to Wolfe. "You've been a bad dog no dinner."

"But pops dog can protect me.." Alice said mumbling.
"No! Go inside young lady.!" Jobe said raising his voice. Alice went inside.

Then Jobe went to face Zian. "And who would you be?. Where do you lived?" Asked Jobe closely.

"My name is Zian Drail and I live in a village of Worelac Kingdom."

"A kingdom you say.?"

"Yeah. You didn't know?" Asked Zian casually.

"Just stay away from my daughter."

"Why? Were just happened to become friends."

Jobe thought for a moment. "Hm okay. I'll let you be friends with her." Jobe leans to him a little closer and said in a lower voice. "But in one condition.. You'll never try to take or tell her where you lived and everything about the Worelac Kingdom."

"But why?"

"Just don't. Can I trust you on that?" Jobe asked seriously. Zian agree. Jobe calls back Alice.
"Alice!. Alice!" Then Alice appeared in a distant with Wolfe.

"What?!." Said Alice.

"Come here!" Jobe motioned her to come to them.

"What is it papa?"

"You two can play now."

Alice eyes widens, excitedly.
"Really.?"

"Yes, Zian be good to Alice."

"Sure sir..?"

"Oh yeah I'm Jobe, I'm going to head out now.."

"Thanks papa.."

When Jobe left out Alice turns to Zian surprised.

"Woah what did you do?. I thought my papa will make you to leave."

"eh, I'm just glad were friends now."

"Me too. So tell me, where you live?" Alice asked interestingly.

"Ah.." Zian glanced at Jobe while Jobe was frowning to him. Zian stand up straight.

".. Well I lived in the other side of this forest."

"Where?. I wanna see it. Let's go to your place or house."

"Will your father be mad about this?"

"It wouldn't take long."

"Its too faraway." Said Zian

"We can ride to Wolfe's back.. Huh.."

"My parents don't allowed pets in our house. Just don't.." Zian begs.

"Ooh okay, I understand."

"Alright. Papa says it's bad to force people to much. Ahaha."
"Oh yeah." Zian laughs with her.

So that is your pet. Asked Zian a bit amused

"Yeah."

"You're pet is a huge and magic wolf that's amazing."

"Yeah I know.." Said Alice.

Zian leans closer to Wolfe and patted his soft fur. "I believe Wolfe is your name."

Wolfe growls back. "Woof!"
Then Wolfe licked Zian playfully.
"Oh stop.." Zian laughs.

Days passed Zian started to have feelings for her which he later then can't figure out what. Something about that kid that bothers Jobe, and on that day all he ever wanted was for Alice to be happy and not to be and feel alone.
