Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"Che!...He managed to run away! I'll spare that kids life... for now" the wolf transformed into a human form and said menacingly.

********

The boy run up the mountain and saw a faint light.

He reached the place where he saw the light.

He saw a little girl with horns in her head and a spirit. It seems to be the mother of the little girl.

"H-Help...!! Please help my father." the boy shouted.

"Mom, there seems to be a boy outside, shouting for help." the little girl said to her mother.

"Wait in here, I'll go check it." The mother said to her daughter with a frown.

The mother opened the door

The boy ran up to her and said "Please help my father, he's attacked by a wolf." the boy told her while crying.

The mother's spirit can only travel from the top to bottom of the mountain. Meaning she can only travel the whole mountain range.

'I-I... there should be nothing wrong in helping the boy. I, even if I'm only a spirit now, I was once a skilled fighter so I should be able to defeat a wolf.' the mother thought to herself feeling a little hesitant.

The mother sighed before answering "Okay".

The boy looked at the woman with hope in his eyes.

"Stay inside the hut first. I'll go take a look at your father."

"Yes. P-please bring my father back." said the little boy.

The little boy still have hopes even though he knew himself that his father might have been eaten by the wolf.

The mother sighed again 'alas'.

Down the mountain

********

The mother did not saw the wolf, instead, all she saw was a pool of blood and nothing else.

The mother looked at the pool of blood frowning and calmed down after a while.

"Tsk, so annoying. That wolf better not appearing in front of or else I will curse him to have nightmares all his life." the mother said in an annoyed tone.

********

At the top of the mountain

********

The boy kept crying and the little girl was trying hard to comfort him.

"Em... Your father will um... definitely be safe so don't cry..."

The little girl don't know how to socialize much least to comfort people.

The boy cried even louder.

Waaaaa!! Sob... sob!

The little girl covered her ears.

"My father is my only father left and now he's in danger!" the boy kept crying.

The little girl panicked, not knowing how to make him stop crying.

The mother soon reached the hut.

The mother opened the door.

The boy heard the door opening and run towards the mother.

The boy looked behind the woman and did not see his father.

"W-where is m-my father...?" the boy asked the woman in a trembling voice.

"He's gone." the woman answered.

The boy cried loudly, feeling sorrowful.

'What a pity' the mother thought to herself.
