Chapter 32 - Fireflies

Few hours later, The Apstristone forest

BACK TO SERENA'S POV

I was still feeling dizzy, I would have opened my eyes, saw a guy feeding me soup, and putting blanket on me to give me warmth, and I used to lose my consciousness again!

I finally found strength to get back to my senses. It didn't take me much time to realize I was in a tent.

'It feels so warm over here.' I said to myself. I somehow got up. My clothes were changed, I was wearing some warm cozy soft clothes.

I was embarrassed by the fact that a man had changed my clothes, but it was probably the necessity to keep me alive so I had no rights to get offended.

I looked out of the tent, there was no more tents. It was raining really heavily and there was no one out there.

I tried restoring all my strength to get up, and I did get up and went out there was no one to be found.

'How on earth?' I wondered completed shocked. Someone had rescued me. The tent, the pot of soup was a proof but when did my savior vanished, my head was spinning thinking that up.

'God thank you for sending an angel from heaven to protect me up.' I prayed and thank God that God had seriously sent an angel to protect me up.

I checked my watch

'Oh damn in 7 pm' I freaked out seeing the time, it was already dusk. I knew I had to search the book and that banayan tree no matter what. I started moving my hands and legs as fast as I could, I removed my raincoat, my torch light, chilly powder tin and a knife which I brought purely for my protection.

'I'M ANTI FRAGILE' I quoted to myself again and again.

'Thank you dear stranger for saving my life, if I could be any help to you in this life of mine, please give me a chance to return the favor, I will never forget your help.' I said loudly.

I had no idea which way to go so I close my eyes and let my intuition decide which way to go.

'The universe has been helping me for so long, I believe this time to it will take me to my destiny'

I walked for 15 minutes for God knows where, at a point I slipped and felt again but this time on the floor. My knee was bruised completely, I was struggling even to get up. The rain suddenly stopped but it didn't matter to me, because I was in extreme pain. I was crying out loud. Suddenly I heard the sound of some wild animals

'Mumma' I started screaming like a little kid. Suddenly a firefly came and sat on my nose.

"Wow" I exclaimed. Suddenly then a lot of fireflies came and enlightened my way. The view was breathtaking. I felt like I was in a paradise.

"Can anything be more beautiful than this." I wonder. The fireflies started moving in the other direction, with even realizing I got up automatically forgetting all my pain and started following them. The view was enchanting, just fabulous.

I went a little further in the forest with a fireflies, then I realized that there was a black cat there, she came and started rubbing her body to my legs. I sat and pet her on her soft little fur.

'This is cat so familiar, why am I getting a gut feeling that I have seen it before' I thought to myself

It took me seconds to realize that it was Aphrodite' cat.

"What on earth is her cat doing here, as I must recollect she haven't brought her cat along with her on this journey, the band in her neck confirms the fact that it's none another than her cat." I said with full confidence and amusement.

Suddenly I heard some sound from the bushes

'This thing can't get worse, God not a tiger or a lion now' I said. The cat had ran away by then.

"Oh God please have some mercy on me" I said not knowing what to do next

Suddenly someone jumped out of the bushes. my adrenaline was in a peak knowing that this is a fight or flight situation. Either I need to run as fast as I could or I need to fight with all the strength I have in my body and my soul.
