It doesn't feel like it's been two weeks since Anindira moved in with Ezra's family. Anindira, who has been trying to convince Ezra's family that a morning bath in the river in the summer will not kill him for the past two weeks, fails miserably!
Anindira could not change their way of thinking, even being able to bathe in the river in the evening was very difficult. Anindira was only allowed to bathe in warm water.
On the other hand, Gavriel kept trying to approach him, regularly, every day. Twice a day, Gavriel came to meet Anindira bringing wild fruit and vegetables, making Anindira used to Gavriel's presence. After being shy for a week, finally, now, Anindira felt comfortable chatting with Gavriel. Maybe because Gavriel was cheerful and they were both young teenagers, almost the same age.
Ezra's family is nice and friendly, they are also quite lovely. There are many things that Anindira got while living with them. She finally understands the duties and responsibilities that Mischa carries as a village head and Ruvi is the right hand to help Mischa, as well as Halvir, who turns out to be a very important person in the village. He was the one who should be able to become the leader of the village because he was a *Sapphire. Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of character. He is a very reliable and dedicated person, he is also very loyal to the village and respects Mischa, even though Halvir is physically much stronger than him.
Due to their duties, leading the village along with the leaders and elders of the other Clans, the responsibilities at home were mostly held by Koza as Ezra's third mate, while Axel and Kaj dutifully followed Koza's directions.
Anindira also knows many people in the village, especially the guards on the border. Anindira is very adventurous and observant. She likes to explore new things. That's also what makes Zia so happy to be friends with Anindira, who has knowledge and can teach Zia many things. Zia and Ezra were very happy to know how to take care of their bodies and what to wear, thanks to that. Ezra and Zia woke up early now and often walked around the village with Anindira.
Every afternoon, Anindira would play in the river with Zia. At that time, Gavriel also had the opportunity to chat with Anindira, even from a considerable distance. Gavriel always brought Anindira wild vegetables and fruit, twice a day, right at mealtime. Thanks to that, Anindira also didn't have to look for wild vegetables and fruit.
Anindira and Zia always spent their time going for walks before and after their lunch. The most frequented place was the meadow on the west side of the village, the widest and most beautiful place that would only bloom during the summer.
Unbeknownst to Anindira, it turns out that he had walked quite a distance. Usually, she would have received a warning from the village guard. But, not today. There were no guards in sight today. Finally, without realizing it, Anindira walked out of the village and entered the Blue Forest, which was directly adjacent to the Village area to the west. The Forest is where the name of Blue Forest Village comes from.
Anindira's eyes were again spoiled by the extraordinary sight in front of him. The expanse of bluebell flowers beautifully decorates the forest floor, and the large tree standing high makes the forest look cool in the shade of dense rows of trees lined up randomly. But, this beautiful forest looks a little scary because, even though it's summer, you can still see a thin fog shrouding it, and because of the rows of tall and lush trees, you can see the sunlight coming in like flash-light beams.
It turned out that Anindira was not alone in the forest.
Suddenly, four handsome men appeared before her. However, the aura around them made Anindira shudder, she was very uncomfortable with their presence. Anindira's instinct said to run. Unfortunately, Anindira's response was slow. It turned out that they had surrounded her.
''It turns out the aroma is coming from her,'' said one of them.
''You're right, it's not in vain that we came here,'' added another one with *Emerald eyes, ''Woman, you have courage, without guards you dare to go out when you are in *heat.''
''I don't smell any scent of her,'' said another one of the Hyenas.
''She's still very young, this child must still be pure,'' said the Hyena Emerald, grinning, ''No one has marked her yet.''
''You are still very young?!'' cried a diamond hyena, ''This is our luck, no one can track her…'' he continued while playing with Anindira's hair.
Anindira repeatedly tried to shake off the hands of those who deliberately touched Anindira. It was clear that they were harassing her.
''Ah!'' cried a diamond screeching, ''I know now!'' he exclaimed, adding with a happy face, ''She has just entered her maturity, therefore she does not realize it, and neither does her family.''
''You're right, it looks like she's still a teenager,'' replied the Emerald Hyena, confirming his friend's theory,
Among the four of them, he was the only one who had Emerald eyes, the other three had Diamond eyes. Apparently, he was the leader.
"She's just entered her fertile period, her smell hasn't driven us crazy yet. But, soon we will get out of control…'' said the Emerald Hyena again with a sinister grin.
Hyena Emerald's words were greeted with laughter from her friends.
''We're lucky to have fresh ones,'' The oldest diamond hyena grinned proudly.
''You're right,'' replied the younger diamond hyena, who chuckled with joy.
''The four of us will soon have her, only us…'' replied the smallest diamond hyena.
"Not much competition until we bring her to the village," said the oldest diamond hyena.
''There's no need to rush back to the village, let's just enjoy our honeymoon first…'' said Hyena Emerald, then approached Anindira.
''What do you want?!'' shouted Anindira, immediately moving backward away from him, ''I am under the supervision of the village head!'' cried Anindira while raising his hand.
Anindira tried to appear brave. But sadly, those lies were always easily detected by the Beast Humans, who had keen senses. The beating of her heart, which sounded like a drum, clearly sounded her fear. And, made clear by the cold sweat dripping from her forehead, it was evident in the evil Hyena's eyes.
''Village Chief?'' cried the youngest diamond hyena, raising an eyebrow, ''That is, if he can find you.''
"Woman, you went too far from your village, don't you know? Hehehe...'' added the oldest diamond hyena while chuckling.
"She doesn't know," replied the smallest diamond hyena.
"She didn't even notice because we killed her village guard, so no one warned her," added the Hyena Emerald with a grin, "You don't have a mate yet, once we take you away, they won't be able to find you."
''HA HA HA HA ... ''
In unison, the sound of their laughter echoed in the silent blue forest.
''Wh-wh... what?!!'' Anindira exclaimed haltingly, ''Was... killed?!''
Anindira's face turned blue and pale. Anindira was very scared now. These men were very different from the people she had met so far, and they were very scary. Anindira wanted to scream and cry, but because she was so scared she couldn't, and her voice seemed to get stuck in her throat.
"Girl, your smell is getting stronger, don't blame us! You're the one who seduced us with your scent,'' said Hyena Emerald with a mocking face, his mind filled with sordid fantasies now.
Immediately after that, two Diamond Hyenas moved to the flank and restrained Anindira's body.
''NO!'' cried Anindira while swatting the hands of the two hyenas, ''Please let me go...'' said Anindira with a pitiful face.
''AAHHH...'' Anindira's hands were immediately held again by two hyenas whose hands were pushed away by Anindira, ''Let go of me! Please...'' cried Anindira with a grimace on her face in pain.
They squeezed Anindra's wrists and shoulders. They didn't think of Anindra, who was only a woman. She screamed and begged, with tears streaming down her face.
''Woman, you are ours now!'' cried Hyena Emerald.
Several times Anindira struggled and raged, trying to escape. However, she, who was only a woman, was of course outmatched by the two Hyenas who were having fun with Anindira's fear and tears.
Sometimes they played with her. Anindira finally got a little strength and also the opportunity to struggle to break free, infiltrate and escape from their encirclement.
They casually watched Anindira who was running farther and farther into the forest and made fun of her. Anindira kept running, even though she was strong and fast, she was no match for them.
