Chapter 2: Introduction

I saw him, he was unusually handsome. I kinda envied him but also was curious how it would feel like to be in his arms. The way he played the violin, softened my heart completely like, the cherry blossoms starts rustling and creating a soft music, I want to get lost into.

He noticed me and suddenly the violin disappeared from his hands and a sword came.

I gasped, not knowing what to do next so I sprinted into a run deeper into the woods trying to escape but he was lightening fast and caught me.

I looked up at him with wide eyes almost begging for him not to hurt me. His eyes somehow seemed to be getting soften as he looked at me.

He smiled at me, and ruffled my hair and said in his warm charming voice: You are lost? You seem like you do, little one.

Instead of being relief, I got a bit pouty, since he called me a little one, I looked up at him and said loudly: I am not a little one! I am 16!!

He smiled charmingly at me and knelt down to my level: fine, you aren’t little, you are cute.

I blushed at it, and looked away and saw an old temple with greenery surrounding the golden building, I smiled softly. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

I asked him: what’s your name?

He replied: Viktor

I repeated the same, testing its sound on my tongue: Viktor it is.

He smiled and nodded.

I asked him: what’s the building over there? Looks kinda abandoned

He looked where I was pointing at and replied: that’s a temple and more likely the place where I live.

I was surprised for a moment: you live in the woods?

He nodded.

I asked again: but why? Don’t you have a house? Your parents?

He went quiet. After a long time, he replied: they left me, left me the moment I was born, I couldn’t do anything about it, cuz I was a newborn baby.

I went quiet for a while too and again said: don’t you go to school? Why do you live here? Live in the city, in the orphanage and study.

He sighs and said: I am not a real human

I was kinda confused at first and then ended up laughing looking at him like if he had grown a second head: Are you even listening to yourself? You aren’t human? Then what are you? A donkey?

He replied: I am a soul, a restless soul who doesn’t know what’s his point is in this world but keeps going on and on.

I went quiet for a while and said: are you joking? Are there cameras here? Is this a comedy short?

I looked around to look for any other cameras around.

He laughed: I am not lying!

I said back in his tone: when did I ever said that?!

He replied back in that tone: you seemed like that!

I replied back: you can’t just assume stuff like that!!

We both bickered each other for a while like that until I realized, it was getting dark. He agreed to take me home and we walked together in silence.

He dropped me home and I offered him a candy as a thank you for dropping me. He took it without any words and ate it and walked back into the forest.

I went back to bed, thinking it’s all a dream but I kinda liked that guy. He was cute.

I tossed and turned, unable to sleep on the bed, I kept thinking about him, and tried to make myself sleep and it soon caught me.

I dreamt about him, being in an adventure and he found the secret key for his escape and took me with him, and as he was about to say something……

……..I woke up.

I groaned to myself, why do I wake up when the scenes get interesting.

I got up and got ready for school.

Flash forward to when I came back home from the school and library part time job. I decided to go again to that forest. I put on my shoes and headed straight to the forest.

I went there when I saw a creature with horns on its head, as I was about to call out to it, eager to know who it is.

The creature turned and I looked at it eagerly, trying to know who it was..and when I see it……………it was…………………………………………………….
