You mentally slapped yourself to get that thought out of your head. You thought really hard about what to do. You could stay hiden until he walked away. You could do that. But just in case he found you...
You blushed, ashamed and embarrassed, but you knew it was the only way for you to be safe. Determined, you took off your clothes. You shivered when the wind blew and sat down in a ball, putting dirt on your feet. You tossed your dress behind a bush but your heart stopped beating when the trumpet hit a rock, making a single loud noise.
A moment of pure silence passed, you held your breath. You could feel droplets of cold sweat on you forehead.
"Who's there?" a low, menacing voice rang in your ears.

You felt your heart sink. He was close.

You quickly brought your knees closer to your chest, holding your arms for a bit of warmth. You closer your eyes and hung your head down.
'Please don't come closer don't come closer don't come closer go away go away go away!' you thought as you heard him walking closer.
And your breath was once again cut short when the footsteps stopped.

You heard a gasp.
"Are you okay?"

You frowned and looked up. The young man was tall, like, super tall, imposing tall, casting a shadow over you.
But...was it the same guy who spoke with such a scary voice only a few moments ago? He was looking down at you with furrowed eyebrows, and his voice was full of concern.
"I..." you gulped. "Wha-what happened? The statues..."
It was easy to act confused, because you legit were. Just not for the reason you were claiming.

The guy smiled softly, surprising you once again.
"You must be confused, I was too." he said. "You were turned into stone for a really long time. It's now the year 5,750, and the world has been brought back to its pure natural state. A stone world." he paused, noticing the dirt on your feet. "How long did you walk?"
"Uh...Hours? I think."

You shivered from the cold. He gasped again and knelt down in front of you, blushing.
"I'm sorry! You must be freezing! Here!"
He removed his lion coat and wrapped it around your body, covering it entirely.
'This guy killed a lion!'
"Can you walk?"
"Huh?"
You thought for a second. If you were gonna go with him, it would be better to slow this guy as much as possible. You shook your head.
"I walked too much-." you gasped.

He picked you up bridal style with absolutely no effort as if you were light as a feather. At that moment, your reasoning was thrown out the window as your face became bright red. Without is lion coat, his upper body was revealed. Very broad...muscular...
You were in trouble.

"I hope you're not still cold."
"I-I'm good." you looked away.
"Are you sure? You can tell me. You're still stuttering."
"No no, I'm fine." you pulled the fur closer. "It's...actually pretty warm."
'Or maybe it's just you who's too hot!!!'
He smiled.
'Oh my god that smile!'

But, as he began to walk, you began to get nervous. As handsome as he looked, he was still a complete stranger. And where exactly was he taking you?! You didn't dare to ask.
'If he tries anything, at least I'd have the element of surprise. Surely such a muscly guy can't be that fast.'

He stopped in front of a little stream and carefully set you down on a rock.
"You can wash your feet here." he said.
'Who is this guy?!?! So nice!'
"Oh, do you maybe need my help with that?" he asked, seeing that you didn't say anything.
"Nonono, woh!" you raised your hand. "Don't get ahead of yourself boy, I can do that myself."

He blinked twice at you sudden confidence.
'Shit!' you thought, suddenly tense. 'Did that make him mad?!'
But nope! He smiled.
"Of course, I apologize."

Then, a grumbling sound resonated. You blushed.
"Are you hungry?"
You looked down.
"Yes." you said with a little voice.
He chuckled.
'Oh my god that chuckle!'
"Me too honestly. Stay here, I'll go get us something."
He walked away, and you could now see a spear attached to his back.
"Oh my god he really did kill a lion." you whispered.
