Chapter 10 - Chapter ten: chased by a lion

Charles's pov:

I woke up and found myself on a hospital bed, l felt a huge pang in my head. What happened to me . I looked around and saw my mom sleeping right beside me, she was holding my hand tight. She must have been so worried. As if she could sense that l am awake, she looked up and gasped " Charlie are you okay? Are you alright? Where does it hurts?" She was on the verge of tears, she must have been scared to death. I held her hands and said, "don't worry mum l am alright, l'm okay, don't worry l promised l'd never leave you remember" as l said that she burst into tears and hugged me tight. I hugged her back and started patting her back , to make her calm down . " You were unconscious for a whole day , l was so scared." She cried for a while before calming down. "Are you alright " she asked with worriness in her voice, l nodded my head . " Do you remember what happened to you ?", I tried to remember , then it all came back. Flashback : l was approaching my door step when l felt something flew pass me , l looked around and saw no one. I was so annoyed, just whom did l offend that will want to take revenge on me like this. "Who are you? Show yourself don't be a coward" l shouted. Then l felt a hard impact on my shoulder, l screamed . It was so fast l didn't see what was thrown. And immediately, l felt another one in my head , the pain was so intense , that l fainted. End of flash back .

I explained everything that happened to my mom , to hear what she would say. But l think l have an idea on what she would say. " I don't know why my mind is telling me that it is your uncle that is behind the attack " she said as expected, " but what if it wasn't him, if uncle wants to finish me , he would have done it a long time ago" , "so who do you think is responsible for the attack then " she asked , even l am confused , who will want to hurt me , " l don't know mom , l don't know" . My mom made a deep sigh, she is definitely more confused than l am. Then the doctor came in , "l see you are awake , how do you feel?" , " My head hurts really bad", " he is alright now " he said after checking my pulse ," what about my headache " , l'll prescribe some medicine for you" he said, " Does that mean, he can come home now " my mom asked, " yes he can " the doctor nodded and my mom sighed of relief.

I'm back home now, my mom is being more caring than normal. Mothers are all like that right. Luckily my mom informed my bosses of my situation. So l have the whole day off. I have two chapters to update. I made sure my mom was asleep before doing that. I logged in and began to write___ Darius entered the enchanted forest, it is now or never. " This is the forest Lord Scotus found the tree demon he used in forging me, and also the forest your father and Barcus found the powerful spirit stone " said the armour, " how did you know about that ?" Darius said surprised . " I know alot of things than you can imagine". " I see" Darius nodded his head . He walked deep into the forest , he came across a lot of strange looking creatures, they all just sat down and watch him pass by. " They just sat down watching us" said Darius . " You mean watching YOU, that's because most of them are not man eating monsters. And The only few that are, are in their nesting period. Just be glad the males are not near by" said the armour. Then all of a sudden , a male unicorn horned lion jumped at him. Darius struggled under it a little while before pushing it away. " I spoke too soon" said the armour. " What should l do now ?" Said Darius while swaying his sword at it. "One word , run" . Darius hit it hard causing it to fly back, and he used the chance to run as fast as he can, the lion chased after him. " Tell me the reason why l'm running" , " well you see this lion is mad because he thinks you are here to disturb his ladies' nesting" , "didn't you said they can understand all kinds of languages , why can't this be settled amicably" said Darius while dodging the lion while running. " So, in your world lions settle things amicably. And besides he can understand what you are saying right now but he is still chasing you, that shows that he is not ready to settle things amicably" said the armour sarcastically
