Chapter 2 - EXCERPT

The fire crackled, beneath the small pot were burning charcoal and the logs of woods which were only added a moment ago. The girl in the kitchen picked up the wooden ladle which to mix the spice and herbs that she brought from the local market. Bending towards the vessel she used for cooking, she smiled at the aroma coming from it.

" Smells good " Myra murmured to her self. Taking the cloth from the front pocket of her old apron, she lifted the vessel to put it away from the so that it could cool down. Immediately she went to set the table. Just as she finished setting the table in her place, she remembered theirs no one to eat with. Her mother had already left her all alone in this world.

Deciding to go for a walk late that night. Myra who found a bunny decided to keep I as a pet. Then it started pouring. She hadn't expected it to rain because even though the sky is dark the was still as clear as a mirror when she stepped out of the house. Her dress which are now soaked. The cloth sticking to her body as she ran while trying to cover the at her hand. On her way running back she saw some shadows running so deciding to take the other way through the forest. She took a left and went through the abandoned part of the forest. A route which was rarely used and forbidden because of rumors.

Taking another left turn and then stopping she realizes that her and the bunny on her hand were lost because, she had already passed the place while running. All of a sudden she sees a man fall off a tree with an arrow stuck to his chest. Blood all around the arrow and the clothes he wore was soaked in blood and they were still spurting out. The man on the floor who was is a frozen state [ d3ad ] had his around the arrow. His face was contoured in pain.

Surprised, fear and shock took her over, but the said to her bunny in her hand. " It must have been for a reason. Let us move quickly before we end like that ". Moving silently but a step forward almost took her life as a bullet passed her with just an inch away and cut through the air with so much force she could still hear the sound as she was pulled away but then her bunny escaped. Pushing the hands the pulled her to pick up the fluffy animal another bullet was shot and she got pulled away so quickly again.

" What do you think you are doing trying to get your self killed ". she heard a voice which sounds so gentle and felt like air.

Deciding to let the bunny go she took in her surrounding and then remembered that she was still in the forbidden part of the forest. Myra then felt a firm, muscular chest behind her and a firm hand holding her with a firm grip. About to squirm away from his hands she heard footsteps coming towards their direction.
