Chereads / The Scavenger Fate / Chapter 8 - frenzy

Chapter 8 - frenzy

Just as I and old man ren were having a nice little chat an unwanted gust suddenly came out of nowhere. It was one of the two soldier who was guarding the cave outside.

And now he was questioning why I had that cloth bag in my hand. For some reasons he was looking at me with bloodshot eyes.

"YOU BASTARD!!! Come with me you punk. Who do you think you are, huh. Here we soldiers were just given the duty to escort you. But why is it that you guys are fine and all the other soldiers are dead. It is all because you filthy slaves forced us soldiers to fight that monster."

Yelling at me and looking at me with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly held my head and dragged me out of the cave.

"You it's all because of you people that all my comrades are dead. How dare you even though they are dead you are still alive. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. And what is this cloth bag don't tell me you stole it from one of the soldiers."

Ah, this guy has completely lost it. He is now broke, after witnessing the death of his comrades he must have felt very sad and pathetic. Without a doubt now he just trying to vent out his frustration on me.

'But why is he holding my hair and dragging me in such a barbaric manner. Don't tell me that he has completely lost it and now doesn't even realizes it'

He had lost his sanity and not thinking rationally. I fear that he might end up doing something idiotic.

As he dragged me out of the cave he pinned me on the ground. Just few inches away was the mountain cliff. And I feel that he is definitely thinking of killing me right now.

Problem is that this body is very weak. And now I don't think, that I even have the energy to resist his grip.

'Huh God looks like I am going to die again.'

"You bastard even though we sacrificed our life for you filthy slaves, this is how you repay our kindness, by stealing stuff from us."

As he was yelling and saying bullshit, he suddenly held my neck and started squeezing it with great force. Not going to lie, I really felt I am dead. Because he was strangling my neck I was finding it very difficult to even breathe. And for someone reason this guy look like a mess.

"It's is all your fault. If I get rid of you filthy slaves, everything is going to be alright."

Huuuuuuuuh.

Pathetic wish, humans always have a tendency to do thing which would yield no result. Even if they know that what they are doing is useless, they just try to justify their stupidity by claiming that it would make everything all right. Even if they know that it is just a useless wish and act.

Strangely for some reasons I feel very calm even though I can't resist this guy's grip. Even though I know that this guy is dead-set on killing me, I feel calm. Strangely I feel everything around me becoming slow and blurry.

The noises of the wind blowing and leaves rustling was becoming clearer and clearer, yet at same time the soldiers voice and his yelling was becoming fainter and fainter.

'I see so even though I prayed and did my best to survive, in the end I am still going to die.'

Huuuuuuuuuuuh

I call this soldiers pathetic for blaming me for his comrades' death yet at the same time I am also so pathetic. Even though I got another chance to live I am able to do nothing at all. I wish I still have a little energy to even resist.

Suddenly I noticed there was something running down through my cheeks, it was tears, I was crying.

"So this is the end for me."

Just as I noticed that I was at death door I suddenly noticed a figure moving towards me and the soldiers. Before I could even comprehend what was going on the figure waved his hand and the soldier that was strangling me fainted.

.........…

"REN."
