My world
Sky's POV
I slowly opened my eyes when I fell on a soft surface. When I finally opened my eyes, Alexander's face welcomed my eyesight. I found out that it was him I fell on to. His eyes are closed and he's not moving or doing anything. I looked back and only saw the tree. I thought we need to go away first in case Arnold decides to follow us. With all my strength, I took him away from that tree.
I've never been to this place before so I don't know where we're heading right now. I don't care about where we're going. I need to get us away from that tree.
He's so heavy for me. He's unconscious so I wonder if he's okay. I slowly made him sit under a huge tree. "Alexander? Can you hear me?" I tried to wake him up but I didn't get any response. I looked at him, he was totally exhausted. I slowly bent him over to see his back. I looked at his wound. I am sure that he was hit on the back, his clothes and his armor are ripped but I couldn't find the wound. I guess they can heal themselves too but why is he still unconscious?
I looked around, we're not that far from the tree yet and I am sure that if they'd come out here, they'll find us right away. I was about to carry him again when I heard something. familiar. My eyes widened and looked into the woods. I hear a loud sound of a truck honking. My hopes went high. It's past those woods. I carried him right away and we went to the place where the sound came from. If there's a truck there then there might be a highway where we can wait for help.
As we pass the woods, I hear a sound of a car passing by. I walked faster while he weigh on my shoulder.
I don't know what his reaction would be once he finds out that I took him here. I really can't think of something earlier. I saw him almost losing and I don't know what to do. If I had.t took him here, he would be dead right now.
I made him sit under a tree again. "We need to take your armor off," I said as if he was going to answer me. Of course, he didn't, so I took it off right away. I was about to take off the last part of the armor which is on his knee, I hear a sound of a car. I stood up right away and went to the middle of the road. I see a truck coming over. I waved my hands so the driver can see me. "HELP!" I shouted at him. The truck stopped so I went into the driver's seat right away.
"Help us please," I told him. An old man with a thick beard is driving the truck he has smoke in his mouth. he took it off and stopped the engine.
"What is it, Miss?" he asked. I looked at him for a second and made sure he was a nice person and he won't do anything to us once we get in his truck.
"I and my friends were camping but they left us here." I lied. "My friend is unconscious and we don't have a car to go home. Can you help us please?" I asked him.
"Where is your friend?" he asked me and stepped out of the truck. His clothes are dirty and I think he just went out of a farm. I showed him where Alexander is and he went to him right away. I got afraid when he approached Alexander. Alexander might open his eyes and get shocked by the old guy.
"Can you please bring us somewhere near the city?" I asked him.
"City? Do you know where we are?" He asked me.
"Where?"
"Young lady, we're too far away from the city," he said and stood up. "But I am going to the city tomorrow to deliver ducks. I can just bring you there tomorrow. If it's okay, come on and help me get him on the truck." he said.
We are at the back of the truck. The passenger seat is too small for us two so we decided to just sit at the back of his truck where a lot of grass food for cows. I made sure to make him sit comfortably while we were on our way. After almost 30 minutes on the truck, we made it to an old house with a barn a few steps away from it.
"Honey! We have visitors!" he shouted and went out of the car. An old woman popped out of nowhere and went to us.
"What happened?" she asked me nicely. I gulped to get ready for lying to someone again.
"We were camping without friends but they left us and we got lost in the woods," I explained and never looked into her eyes. The old man went up the truck again to help me with him.
"Honey, get a bed ready," he told his wife and the old lady went in the house right away. I helped the old man with Alexander and we went to their house. We dumped him on the bed. "Both of you can stay here in the meantime. By the way, what happened to him?" he asked.
"I-I don't know. He just passed out while we were walking." I couldn't make up excuses anymore. he looked at Alexander and nodded.
"Okay, wait for my wife here. Feel at home," he said and left the room. I went to Alexander, he was not awake yet. I suddenly got worried that he might never wake up. I tapped his cheeks but got no response at all. I checked his heartbeat to check if he was still alive. he is.
I looked at the whole room. It's small, has only one bed and a window. There is a lamp cabinet with a lamp on it. The couple is very kind to let us stay here until tomorrow. I let out a loud sigh and then the door opened suddenly. The lady went in.
"Thank you very much for letting us here." I thanked her. She smiled at me and looked at Alexander.
"It's fine, no problem. I hope your friend wakes up at dinner. I will make a delicious soup for you." she said and looked at me. "Here are some clothes that I think would fit you. My clothes are big so sorry if it's not the right size." she handed me clothes. "There's some for him too."
"Thank you for this, Ma'am." I thanked her as I take the clothes.
"It's fine, don't call me Ma'am. Call me Cecil and my husband is Rodrigo," she told me and I smiled. "I'll take you to where you can take your bath," she said.
She took me out of the house to a little bathroom. She waited for me until I finish taking a bath. The clothes aren't that huge. It's okay for me to wear. it's kind of pretty too. We went into the house and she told me to go help her with the soup she said she was making. We made soup for us four. She's really talkative so the time passed by right away. I am currently arranging the plates but I saw Alexander entering the kitchen. My eyes widened. He's awake.
"Alexander," I called his name. His eyes went all over the place. He's checking everything in the kitchen. I arranged the plates right away and pulled him into the room again. He followed me without any words. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I make him sit on the bed. I got scared because he was not saying anything. His eyes are wandering again checking every corner of the room. "Alexander," I called him.
"Where are we?" he asked which made me gulp hard.
"We're into my world," I whispered to him. I don't want the couple to hear us. Suddenly, he brushed his hands on his head like he was getting problematic. "Why?" I asked him.
"We can't go back easily," he said. "The key is with Cira," he said. I stepped closer to him.
"You're planning to go back right now? If you step into that portal you might get killed right away. They might be waiting for you to come back." I whispered to him. His head is facing downwards with his hands on it. he's not saying anything so I talked. "Is there any way to go in? Or another portal?" I asked.
"I don't know where to find it," he answered shortly.
"We'll find it later, we need to get down there and eat with those people," I told him. "We need to go back to my house tomorrow and they'll help us," I whispered.
"I can just take you there right now." I stopped a little with what he said. He's right. He could just take me there in a blink of an eye.
"But we're here already. let's just get along with them. You don't need to talk okay?"
He didn't answer.
"Are you really okay now?" I asked. He raised his head and nodded. "Okay." I took the shirt from the clothes they lend us earlier. I gave it to him since his clothes were ripped. "Wear this first. Go there after changing." I told him and left the room.
"I'm sorry, I need to talk to him for a bit," I told the couple who are currently waiting for us to go down. "He's coming," I said and sat on the table.
"It's fine. Let's eat," she said and we started eating. 3 minutes after, Alexander came. I pointed the seat on my side so he would sit there.
"Come, beautiful young man, let's eat." the old man said. He looked at me while walking.
'Just sit beside me,'
I hope he's reading my mind right now. he did it, he sat on my side. I looked at him. I am really nervous right now, I don't want him to mess something up or give a hint about where he came from.
I scooped him soup. 'Eat it I said in my mind. He looked at him after I did it. We locked eyes for a moment but the old woman suddenly talked.
"How's the soup?" she asked. I smiled.
"It's delicious. " I answered her with a big smile on my face. It really is delicious. But..
'This soup is bland. I have never tasted this before. I want to spit it out.'
My eyes widened when I suddenly heard Alexander's voice in my head. I looked at him but he seems so peaceful sipping the soup silently.
What The? Did he just enter my mind?
'Yes.'
Oh my GOD.
I continued eating as if nothing was wrong and continued talking to the talkative old lady and laughing with the old man but in my head, he was whispering.
'Stop Laughing. nothing's even funny.'
'Stupid'
'What does she mean by that?'
'I don't understand.'
'Are you talking about me?'
I can't do anything but ignore him talking in my peaceful mind.
The dinner ended and we washed the plates.
"Come on. Man. I'll bring you to the bathroom." My eyes widened.
No.
I can't let him be with him.
The old man stood up and so as Alexander. I eyed him right away. What the hell is he doing?
'I need a bath.'
No! Please don't do anything stupid!
They went out of the house and my hands started trembling. I kept biting my lips and waited for him to enter my mind again.
'What is this little thing on the wall? Water is falling.'
'It's a faucet. Hurry up, don't do anything stupid.'
I sat at the table after washing the dishes we used for dinner and waited for them to come back. I can not almost wait. Good thing is that they came back. he's now wearing white long sleeves and brown pants. I stood up.
Say thank you.
'What?'
Say thank you.
"Thank you," he said but not politely enough.
"Nahh, it's nothing. Go up to your room now, it's getting late," he said. I thanked him once again and we went up again.
"How could you talk in my mind?" I lowered my voice while asking. he sat on the bed as if nothing happened. He went to the lamp and looked at it.
"What's this?" he asked me.
"Hey, what did you do in the bathroom?" I whispered.
"He told me to turn it around and I did. It's broken. I didn't know it was broken so I just washed it with water from it. He said he's just going to fix it tomorrow." he said as if it's nothing.
"You broke their faucet?" I asked but he didn't answer again.
He really doesn't know anything about my world. I bit my lower lip. He lay on the bed.
"You can just sleep here, it's not that small," he said and placed his arm on the top of his forehead.
I looked around. I found a rocking chair. I took one of the pillows and decided to just sleep there.
I let out a loud sigh and tried to sleep even if it was a little uncomfortable. better than nothing.
'tss.'
What the--
