The Mystic Wold: Home for Enchanters

Chapter 15 "Lost In Odd"

"Keep your mouth shut." He whispered into my ears.

He uncovered slowly my mouth and I turned to see him.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Daniel." He replied.

He grabbed my arm and looked away to searching for an escape.

I did not mumble even for once.

*Growl...!

I turn to the stranger that is now in front of us.

We are under the bush. I hope he won't see us.

Daniel tightened his grip on my hands.

"You have no other place to run, so come out now!" –Stranger.

The stranger went on and passes us.

"Let's go!" –Daniel in whispering.

He even didn't wait for my answer but I just follow him.

We ran quietly to another bush.

I fall down and hurt my foot. "Ahh...!"

The stranger turned around after he heard me.

Daniel carried me instead and hides to the nearest bush.

After Daniel puts me to the ground, he touched my injured foot. It hurts but I tried to tolerate the pain.

"Get on to my back." –Daniel.

But before I can respond, the strange caught us.

"You're not going anywhere." The stranger said with an intentional laugh.

...

Someone threw a stone to the big and ugly stranger causing him to turn around.

"Get on me, now!" –Daniel.

Even if I don't like the idea about it, I have no other option but to ride on him.

Another stone hit the stranger following another several stones causing him to get annoyed.

While the stranger turned around to find out who's throwing him stones, I climb at Daniel's back.

When I'm stabled to Daniel's back, he ran straight towards escape.

I turned my head and saw that the stranger is distracted in fight against someone with a sword.

Daniel ran and ran while carrying me until we are far from danger. He stopped and gently puts me to a big rock the sat beside me.

"I'm sorry..." I started.

"About recuing you? No problem. Next time, you should be more careful." –Daniel.

"I will. Thank you."

"Does your foot still hurt?"

"It's okay."

"You think you can walk now?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Okay..."

"Hey!" I turned to the girl who approached me. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous when you're alone." She said.

"I'm not alone." I turned to Daniel.

Where's Daniel? I'm sure he was here beside me.

That's odd.

I turned to the girl again but I was shock to see that she also disappeared.
