A New Life

Chapter 2: A woman?

Alisa slowly opens her eyes. The sunlight hits her eyes so she had to blink once or twice to adjust her eyes in the sunlight. That's when it hits her. She was in her bedroom and it was night. How can sunlight come here? She quickly sits up and looks around. Her eyes goes wide like a saucer when she sees she is in a jungle. "How did I come here? What is this place?" Alisa begins to panic. She was in her room a minute ago. When did she come here? And where is she? She was celebrating her birthday with the kids. Then the janitor came and handed her a box. "The box! It was the box. Something came from the box and I fainted. Is this a dream then?" Alisa pinches her arm and yelps when she feels the pain. She begins to panic again when she realizes this is not a dream. This is real and she is now sitting in the middle of a forest. But how? This doesn't makes any sense. Is it the box? Does the box contained some kind of magic for which she was teleported somewhere else. If this is the case then she might be able to go back to her orphanage. She starts to look around herself hoping that she might find the box. She kneels on the ground and look through nearby bushes. Her search comes in a halt when she hears a sound of twig behind her. She snaps her head towards the sound and comes face to face with a boy.

Alisa looks at the boy in bewilderment. The boy is taller than her and maybe around her age or older. He has jet black hairs and deep blue eyes. He is not that muscular but has muscles in right places. The expression in his eyes proves he is more than shocked to see her. After a few moments of complete silence the boy suddenly yells and says "A woman?"

Alisa couldn't understand what he said because he yelled in a language she never heard of. The boy suddenly starts to walk towards her with a outstretched hand as if he wants to feel her if she is real. Alisa quickly squints away and says "W-who are you? D-don't come to me?" The boy immediately stops in his tracks and tilts his head to try to understand what she said. He closes his eyes and makes  a hum noise. After that he chants something in his language. Alisa's eyes widens when she sees his head is glowing like a lightbulb. As soon as he opens his eyes the glowing stops and Alisa just blinks in bewilderment. The boy then smiles at her and says "Can you understand me ?" Alisa blinks again like a stupid. Just a few moments ago the boy was talking who knows in what language and now he is speaking English like he was born in an English noble family? She just simply nodes her head because her words are stuck in her throat.

Suddenly the boy comes to her in an blinks of an eye and holds her face in both of his hands and says "You are real! You actually are real! I can't believe this! A human female is sitting in the middle of the forest and I'm looking at her! Is it a dream!? Oh someone pinch me!" The boy seems more than amused to see her which Alisa can't understand why. What's so special about her sitting in a forest. He is talking like he never seen a woman before. And he is talking like he is not even a human. Is he insane?

The boy was closer than Alisa's comfort so she pulls his hands away from her face and backs away a little and glares at him. The boy seems to taken aback at her behavior. He then chuckle at her and says "Sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just you are female and you are sitting in front of me. Can you believe it?" The boy chuckles more and Alisa just stares at him and blinks her eyes in bewilderment. She needs to know where she is and how can she get out of this place. So she looks at the chuckling black haired boy and asks "Where am I ? What is this place? How did I get here?" The boy stops chuckling and looks at her. He never heard such a musical voice ever in his life. Her voice is so soft like a soothing music to his ears. He can hear it all day and night. With a smile he says "Oh, you are in Desh actually. It's a kingdom of demons though other creatures also lives in here. But where did you come from? Did you live in this forest or did you come from another country for some reason?" Alisa didn't hear his last two sentences because her mind was too busy to process what he said at first. Creatures? Demons? What does that supposed to mean. She is in earth right? Then why is this boy speaking like she is in another world. And Desh? What kind of country name is this? She never heard it ever in her life. She finds her voice back and asks him in a panic "Wait! Demons! This country is demons country? Is this another world then?" The boy looks at the panicked girl and tilts his head in bewilderment. He can't understand what she is saying. He was about to open his mouth when suddenly he hears something and the forest goes deadly quiet. Even the birds stop chirping. Alisa looks around her in a fix. She can't understand why the forest went deadly quiet and the boy in front of her is standing there like a statue? "What's happen-"
"We have to go."
"What?" Alisa looks at the boy in bewilderment. She was about to protest when suddenly the boy grasps her hand and starts running. Alisa almost screames when the boy's hand touches her. His hand is cold like ice. How can someone has such a cold body temperature? She didn't get the chance to ask him because she is too busy to move the branches off of her face that was coming in front of her. She is having a hard time catching her pace with him. He is really first. And Alisa wasn't good at running. She was also having a hard time in breathing so she couldn't even tell him to stop. She is at her limit now and she is about to tell him to stop when the boy suddenly stops and Alisa hits his back. She immediately collapse on the ground and starts to breath heavily. The boy looks at the girl who is sitting on the grass and breathing like someone drowned her in cold waters. He sheepishly smiles at her and says "Sorry. I didn't know you wasn't good at running. If we stayed that place a little longer both of us would be dead. It's seems like the creatures already sensed your smell." Alisa look at him with tired eyes. She has no idea what he is talking about. So she just nods and closes her eyes to make her breathing even. When she opens her she sees the the boy is striping his tee shirt. Alisa squeaks and quickly squints away. She knew it. She knew all men are same no matter what the world is. They would trick you and if you fall for their trick, they would show you their real color. He is no exceptions. He is also like those pervert, crazy, lust filled men who knows nothing but torture women. And she hates them all.
