Being pulled by an unknown force is the only last thing that she didn't want to experience about.
At first, she didn't notice a vine crawled under her feet. With a soft brush, gentle squeeze from her feet, then something wet and sticky coiled around her lower legs and pulled her downward. . .and she was taken aback.
However, by the time she could react and try to escape from it, it was already too late.
She lowered her head to take a look at it and was startled.
No, it wasn't a snake, nor some tentacles of a creature but a plant no scratch it, it's hue painted with burgundy on its side; it looks unusual and almost alienated green looking vines that you've never seen around the era before, it began circling around her legs greedily as if it found her like she was a new toy.
That made her freaked out.
The head of the vine raised facing towards her, daring to see her eyes, as if it was like a snake sees its prey from looking at it. The head there's no more words but an odd beautiful to describe of it, that actually tinted with large dark, true purple petals and slightly lighter, blue and purple tinged sepals are topped by a crown that has a deep blue outer halo, pure white narrow central halo flower. . ahh! wait a minute it wasn't done. . .
. . .she unconsciously shrieked, when her boths wrists were both tied from another growing sprout of vines. Countless of vines climbing her body like snakes, soon it wrapped her waist and legs. She had no choice but let it lifted her from the ground and get dragged wherever it take her to.
'What the hell are these.' she screamed at her mind.
She was thinking if she was still in the same world. She seemed to be remember merely having a high fever and was brought to the hospital. Then, there was a nurse came to her quarter and let a her take some medicine, then falling asleep. Could it be she had died due something that she put on that medicine? So, she got transmigrated to the world where exactly she wrote the same plot of the female lead?
But these vines was out from ordinary.
If she was transmigrated to a post-apocalyptic world, so where is the the kingdom? Where is the royal guard who supposed to protect her!Oh wait, you're the author, how come you didn't know. . .
She felt annoyed and devastated from being useless and not thinking any sooner. She tried to think something and her mind drifted to a masked man who followed the princess when she attempted to escape from the palace the other day? She tried to dig on what she had written but failed.
Aria tried to convince herself that what if she had only fell asleep after taking medicine, probably she hadn't woken yet.
Althought, her mind got blanked whenever she look at these vines. Their movements snapped her thoughts and finally, realized she was in danger by these vicious vines.
The more she tried to get away but failed. It wasn't wrapping her tightly even though it looked so terrifying but strangely, she wasn't able to get free from them.
The more she struggle, the more she get warier by minute. . .it seems the vines itself sucking her life force energy. . . draining her as well.
She tried to pull them off from her legs, however, these vines were soft, slippery and elastic. She couldn't unwrap and pull them apart.
She couldn't move nor able to fight back as if she'll let it roam her body lifelessly.
She didn't feel uncomfortable about these vines but weird. She felt her clothes began to melt from unknown sticky thing. It was wet and jelly sticking to her skin melting them. She felt tingle or a sense of weird pleasure, making her drive so crazy.
Sensing a gentle touch, or a tingle of power coiling her body which her mind settled abit. It was overwhelming.
She felt her skin become numb and itch as it coiled around her body, and soon it wrapped around her neck and head, only leaving her pair of dark eyes unwrapped.
After being wrapped from these vines, subconsciously it feels her more drowsy as if it wanted her to rest. Sensing the slight numb and itchiness, she slowly relaxed her limbs. And then, the numbness and itch gradually seeped into her muscles from her skin.
She now caught a new, odd feeling. Her mind began to drift, seeming to float up; like she was lying on some clouds, feeling quite comfortable.
As time went by, she didn't know how long it had passed nor she know how long she laid on the ground with the countless vines appeared of no where and caught her, wrapping her like a cocoon. Numerous thoughts swirled on her mind, it felt like she'd been stucked here for an eternity. When is she going to see the light? When is she going to see the others?
As if it had read its thoughts, she suddenly a slight pain from her mind. The first wave wasn't that bad but the next following wave came more worse than the previous ones.
Every waves in pain made her knitted her eyebrows as if her brain were impaled with a bunch of needles.
The more waves comes, the it became more unbearing for her. She felt her mind were about to explode. She wanted to scream to ease the pain from her brain but she couldn't utter a sound. She only scream silently. 'Ah, it hurts. . . it hurts. . .make it stop!'
She felt like passing out from the pain but couldn't. She didn't know how long she had suffered this pain. A part of her keeps telling her she was no longer the same world she had before as if this is the reality she has right now.
Unlike the last few times she had suffered by the piercing pain, this time, she occured slowly, wave by wave, as if it was giving her time to adapt, so she wouldn't passed out directly like the past few times.
There's nothing she could do since she wasn't able to move. So, she endured the pain silently.
Her body began twitching. She still couldn't able to move or struggle because of the vines wrapped her up tightly.
The pain couldn't make her think too much at one point, because her mind was too occupied by the pain and disabled her from generating any other thought.
When was about to driven crazy by the pain, and forget her own name because of it but suddenly, the horrible pain disappeared and her tense nerves loosened.
This made her confused, as her mind swirled with thoughts, 'What it happened? Did it just stopped?
Before she realized what happened, there was a child screaming at her mind and cried out, " Make it stop! Make it stopp! Don't cut my vines, my precious vines!!!!"
So, she slowly opened her eyes to see what was the commotion all about until she saw a man approached to the vines and started cutting them with his sword.
The vines started to hold her naked body tightly, as if it was afraid to lose her. These vines was protecting her and hugged her more, wrapping her like a cocoon.
The pain was gone, but embraced her with its warmth and comfy as cottons.
The wails on her mind haven't stopped and keep repeating the same words with agony. 'Make him stop! Please make him stop!'
This time, there was a voice spoke out and the fact why the voice seems familiar, not knowing it had come from herself.
"Stop!"
The man paused when he heard an angelic voice and saw a woman's face tangled by the vines, with her body wrapped with them. From the looks of it, she was bare in naked. It didn't seemed she knew about it.
