I walked towards the front of the car, I saw the bad guy losing a lot of blood. I sat down, checking on the bad guy, he was already lifeless. There was a wound on his neck, and also on his leg, but it was like a wound caused by a creature that had long claws. It's clear that this is an animal attack, then what I've seen is that.
My heart was beating wildly again, this was my fear. For the first time, I saw someone killed in such a way. Whatever the creepy creatures just now, this forest is not safe. Should leave here immediately. Hurrying up I walked over with Galter and told him to leave here quickly, but there was something that made me unable to leave. What about the corpse of the bad guy? However, everyone died worthy of his grave.
"What's Eiryana? Why stop?" Galter asked seeing me stop and looked back.
"It's just that, I can't bear to leave it like that. At least his family should know," I retorted not being able to go any further, I was afraid that the shadow of death haunted me every time I fell asleep.
"Leave it alone, the bad guy did a bad thing to you, he deserved it," Galter said angrily after seeing the wound on my wrist and also my palm.
"Still!"
I went back to the corpse of the bad guy, reached into his shirt pocket, and got my phone. The network here is not good, but it doesn't matter. Then I took a bad guy's cell phone and wrote a message on one of the police numbers that I knew. I hope this person will be found soon before other animals prey on him. The content of the message was 'Please, Flo forest near the stream' then I returned the phone as if the bad guys themselves were typing it.
My hands were shaking violently, even my legs were shaking to the point that I couldn't afford to walk. It's the worst experience I've ever had in my life.
"Eiryana, what's the matter? Why are you?" asked Galter moving quickly when he saw me fall. My legs don't feel strong enough to support my body now.
"We have to leave now before the creature comes again. But my legs didn't let me go," I said with tears streaming down on their own. I don't understand why I've become so weak now. I never wanted to show this weak side of mine to strangers, and now I do.
"Yes, yes. We're leaving now."
Galter is a good guy, he is holding me because I can't walk now. I felt bad for him, today I just suddenly left after hitting him on a bicycle, and I could still feel that Galter was walking limping, and forcing himself to carry me.
"Thank you," I said sincerely.
"You're welcome. Eiryana, what exactly is the creature you are referring to?" asked Galter also curious about the creature I had been mentioning earlier.
"I don't know, that creature just suddenly appeared and attacked the bad guy. But at first glance I saw it, I assumed that it was some kind of faun. You know, half-human creatures, half-animals," I replied even though it was just an assumption about the mythological creatures that were beginning to appear to exist.
I don't believe in such things. If it is analogous to secret research, the mixing of animal and human genetics, I can understand. Well, think of it as one of those conspiracies that have not been exposed.
"My answer doesn't make sense, does it? There is no such thing as a faun. It could have been one of those secret experiments that came off. A kind of genetic experiment between humans and animals. The world is now getting weirder, life-threatening for obscure research," I said changing my initial assumption as something more acceptable to today's humans.
***
Galter took me home, back to the castle. I feel bad for him, for just walking on foot on such a long journey. But surprisingly, I didn't see him sweating at all, or it could have been that his sweat was gone because of the night wind.
"Put me down, my legs have stopped shaking," I said pleadingly, not assuming that Galter was his errand boy. "Thank you for holding me. Come in, rest yourself."
The moment I opened the castle door, grandpa appeared immediately. His face was wrinkled with me. Grandpa just hugged me right away, his squeeze being relieved after seeing me in a condition that was still intact. Nurse Dory is also here, waiting for my arrival. So, what was the grandfather who sent Galter to me? That's grandpa's plan?
"Miss, your hand is injured," nurse Dory said looking at my injured hand but I quickly clenched my hand into a fist even though it was a bit painful.
"I'm fine."
Grandpa's gaze fell on Galter who was behind me. Oh, grandpa must be very grateful to Galter for bringing me back. Grandpa's face looked surprised, he saw Galter and seemed to be moved by what he saw. I don't understand what grandpa meant by such teary eyes.
"It was grandpa who told Galter to pick me up, right?" I asked because I saw grandpa's reaction to Galter.
"Sure, Mr. Enzo told me to pick you up, actually saved you," Galter replied now it could be seen that he was exhausted.
"Gosh! Galter, come in. Nurse Dory, please check Galter, he held me just now. Check his state, he's exhausted," I said not being nice to nurse Dory who might just pretend to be worried about me.
I led Galter in, and it seemed that grandpa didn't like me being too close to men, but it was Galter who saved me and I am very grateful to him now. I took Galter to sit on the sofa in the living room, and nurse Dory approached to check on how he was doing.
"Eiryana!" called grandpa.
I headed for grandpa, and once again grandpa hugged and pecked my head. His feelings became relieved, and I could tell from his breathing that was starting to be regular now, just now it was irregular. I'm glad grandpa is with me now, happy that it's the grandfather who knows I was kidnapped and not my parents. Grandpa let go of his embrace and looked at me saying, 'I've banned you.
"I'm sorry Grandpa. I shouldn't want to go into the woods. But I went in not out of curiosity, I helped the old grandma to carry her things to her house in the forest. Grandma's road was very slow, so I was late to go home. I'm not going to defend myself because I was indeed wrong. I'm sorry Grandpa. I will never go into the woods again! Never will!" I said solemnly. Anyway, I have no other plans to go there anymore, and never will.
"It's good if you understand. Now rest," grandpa said happily listening to my revelation.
"I'll talk to Galter for a while."
Grandpa originally told me to rest and meet with Galter tomorrow, but I may not see him tomorrow. So now, after nurse Dory checked galter's state, I sat down beside him thanking him as much as I could for saving me.
"You want to go home?"
