Heart of the Beast

Chapter 6

Both of us too serious watching my savior use his strength to defeat those gun mans so we didn't saw one man crawl to where we hid until I felt my hand being tugged by him.

"Onna, I never saw one this pretty before, let's go you"

I gasped and try to run only to fail when he wraps his arms around my waist and carry me like a sack of potatoes.

"HEEELLLPPPP..!!!" I scream loudly only to get silent immediately when I feel my cheek throbbing a second later.

Oh God, he hit me.

I never get hit before.

It hurts.

Brother, Rick, Nick... Help... help me...!!

What is this place!!!

But before we could walk more, I feel him stop only to see my savior standing in front of us with his long black hair waves by the wind and hid his face.

Blood on his hands and it dripping but he looks uncared with it.

"Didn't I said to not touch her?" He spoke no, more like growl because I still can't understand what he said to the man who captures me.

But when I feel him trembling, I know whatever he said isn't good.

He was scare of him.

"Lo.. look, she's okay and.. and.. I will give her back if.. if you didn't kill me, o.. okay?" I heard my captor stutter before slowly he put me in front of him like I am a shield.

Coward!!

When I look up to meet my savior's eyes, I can't help but shock when I see his eyes changed color.

It's not black anymore, but.. but.. it was red!!!

When I hear the man behind me gasp loudly, I guess he sees his eyes too.

A second later I feel the wind hit my face before I turn my head to see my captor fall on his knees before drop down on the ground.

What.. what is happening?

"Kiera.. Kiera, Lari" I turn my gaze to another wounded man who still hid behind the carriage when I heard him calling my name but I don't understand his other word.

So I stood stupidly before I feel a hand touch my cheek which makes me turn my gaze back to my savior who had blood everywhere on his body.

"Kiera.." He shockingly speaks my name and I am too stunned to speak or answering him so I just nod dumbly "Kiera...." He called again before touch my cheek where the gunman hit me before which make me wince a little that makes him look mad when he sees it.

I guess it leaves a bruise.

"I'm sorry for drag you into this world, Kiera, I'm sorry to put you into this situation with me,"  He said deeply which I don't understand but from the way he staring at me, I could guess it was serious, why? Why he treat me like this? Why did he care?

Then he carries me back into the carriage at the same time I saw Burt keep his eye lock on him before I watch them speak before my savior leaving another way.

What...

Where did he go?

But touch my hand and told me with his hand and code that he just needs to watch the blood or something I guess, so I just nod my head and wait for him to come back.

Slowly I turn my gaze to the scene and can't help myself and throw everything I had in my stomach when I saw the scenery.

This is my savior do?!

Why he killed them?

Because they'll kill us if he didn't do it first?

Oh God, this is a dangerous place...

Why am I lost in this kind of place?

To shock and tired from everything, I don't know when I fall asleep until I feel the carriage moves again and someone put something on my bruise cheek.

My eyes immediately found my savior already sitting on the front, driving the carriage before I turn my gaze back to Burt who give me a smile a something to eat which he said like roti or looks like bread for me.

 Then I have an idea before tap my savior's shoulder.

He ignores me for a second but I'm on a mission so I keep hitting his shoulder until he turns his head with a raised eyebrow.

Then I point to myself with my forefinger "Nama Kiera... Kau.. Nama?" I said and watch him take a look deeply at me for a second before I watch his lips twitch.

"...Alaric..." He speaks quickly before turn back around, but I already caught him.

With a smile, I drop back on my seat to continue eating.

Alaric...

So that's his name, which means I don't have to call him my savior again.

His eyes are going back to black now and no trace of blood or red on them, which is good.

I know I should worry that he could do something like that but I guess my mind accepts it because I know that those guys will do harm to me if Alaric didn't do anything and I am glad to know that I am surviving and unharmed by them.

I don't know why I trap here, but everything has a cause and I will try my best to find the cause.

I need to know the reason why I was thrown here.

Crying for help won't do me any good, so I better embrace it.

God, I don't know how I could survive in this dangerous and strange world, I even still living with my parents who give me everything.

No, the Not only money I don't have, I even can't speak with them.

Then Burt shouts in happiness when we saw a house in the middle, he shouts happily before pointed at it and speak toward Alaric who nods and goes to the house.

Glad that finally, I'm going to leave this stupid, uncomfortable carriage.

When we stopped in front of the house, I heard Burt shout-out since his feet also wounded before a woman and man walk out from the house looking shocked before they run to where he lay beside me.

They speak for a moment before nod their head to Alaric and me then help Burt walk inside the house.

Alaric stood in front of me before lean closer to carry me bridal style inside the house.

My face feels like it burns when I feel his touch on me.

He carries me like I'm weightless before put me on the nearest chair inside the house where the woman carries something that I thought will be a healing kit.

She gives me a warm smile and widened her eyes when she saw the leech bite on my feet which make my foot bigger and hoping it's not infected yet.

I can't help myself but hissing in pain when she pours something which makes my feet burn and smoke coming out from it.

Oh God, I guess this is how they healed themselves?

Is there a doctor around this place?

I don't know how to tell them that this looks terrible and hurt like a b***h too but since I know this is the only way to get myself is taking care of, I have no other choice.

I hope it could heal me, whatever they do to me.

After almost an hour, finally, the woman leans back with her feet cleanly bandage before the turn to Alaric and speak to him.

Too much in pain to care whatever she said, I studying my feet before feeling a hand on my cheek to see Alaric touch my face.

Does he stare like he knows what I felt like now, pity and yearn?

"We will continue our journey to get better healer tomorrow, you need to wash yourself with this woman, her name is Karla, okay?" He said softly but I don't know what he said.

So I just nod my head at the same time the woman stood up and start to drag me away from him.

What...

Where did she take me?!

Alaric saw my panicked expression and just nod to assure me it is' okay which calm me before following the woman inside.

"Burt said you can't speak our language, but I'm Karla.. Nama Karla"  She speaks kindly before point herself and I know what she wants to tell.

So I nod my head in understanding "Karla" I repeat her name before pointing myself "Kiera"

Wow... meeting another human.

Karla show me the bathroom or most of it before give me strange clothes that I guess was clothes for this world. I saw how she wrinkle her eyes when she touches my jeans before put them back on the bed.

If I'm going to stay in this world I need to start dress like them too, right?!

Oh God, am I going to trap in this world forever?
