Chapter 11 : The Bandits
Clona think deeply on what the young man say. She haven't encountered a bandit yet. She shake's her head as she don't want to think what he say. 'There's no way that a bandit will go to this place' she mumble while eating some apples. She suddenly laugh when she remember on what he say.
She stood up and look around the area. This place was been abandoned, she don't know where she is. As much as she remember she walk and walk until her feet drag her unto this place.
It was already a night time. She saw the moon arise and a wolf's howl at the distance. She took a deep sigh as she will be sleeping by herself again in an unknown place. She closed her eyes and ready to sleep when she heard a sound near the bush.
She suddenly stood up and look around to find an unusual thing. She close her eyes and sharpen her ears. She heard a woman's voice shouting at the other side of the bush. She hurriedly jump at the the branch of the tree and hide from their leaves.
She took a peak and saw a woman holding a bunch of woods while shouting for help. At the her back is group of people tried to catch her. 'A bandits ?' she mumble as she tried to hide her presence.
The woman stumble her feet and lost her balance. She tried to get up but her feet was engulf with a vines. She turn her back and saw the group of people laughing at her. She took the knife at her basket and cut the vines at her feet.
She hurriedly stood up and tried to run but one of the enemy's pulled her hair and dragged her away. Her face was messy and full of tears and snot. She look above the tree and saw a shadow that reflecting the moon's light. She sob and look at the shadow and plead for help.
Clona clench her teeth as she doesn't know what to do. She look at the woman whose begging for help. She look at the group of people and count them one by one. 'There's five of them uh' she mumble silently.
The woman haven't given up yet. She stab the guy's hand with her knife and kick her stomach. She run fast towards the large tree and hoping that the mere shadow will help her. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
The four of the enemy's turn their back and tried to catch the woman but they step back when Clona jump at their front and pulled the woman's hand. The guy who was stab by the woman was so angry, to the point that she want to kill her.
Clona dragged the woman, while pulling her arms and run away to the deepest place. It's already a night time and the full moon was starting to emerge. She can hear the enemy's footstep, running as they tried to catch them.
The woman look around and saw a small Nipa hut at the side. She pulled back her arms and point at the hut. Clona nod and they begin to run towards it.
Both of them tried to catch their breath as they look around to find help. They flinch when they heard the bandits voice looking at them. Without hesitation they hurriedly open the small door and enter the hut.
Both of them took a long breath and sneak a peak at outside. They saw the bandits looking at them anywhere.
"The moon arise" the woman say as she look at the sky
"Are you gonna transform into a wolf? " . The woman shakes her head and say "I can't"
Then they saw some of the bandits, shape shift into their wolf form and howl at the Sky.
