Chapter 4
1603 Words
"Wake up!!"
A voice comes from above me, I know it's my brother, Nick who knows how I love my sleeping and hate morning.
Snuggle deeper into my hard pillow, I moan and shove his hand from my shoulder.
"Later, Nick, my head hurt" Was my response which is true.
I know I always make an excuse of sick to not be able to wake up in the morning, but today this headache is real.
Not only that, but all of my body is hurting bad especially my feet.
God, what is happening to me...
"Nick, I think I'm really sick" I murmur silently when feeling his hand on my head for the second time.
"Wake up!!"
Ugh...
Didn't he head me?!
"I'm sick, Nick, please!!" I plead and slowly try to open my eyes, which is hard only to gasp loudly when I see a pair of black eyes staring back at me.
Who?
My brother has blue eyes...
Then I remember...
The explosion, the forest, and the leech.
Oh God, so that isn't a nightmare?!
I.. I'm really here?!
Oh, God.. Oh, God.. Oh, God...!!
"Kau panas (you're burning)" He said and touch my head again.
Huh?
Knowing I can't understand him, I saw him sigh loudly before murmuring something to himself and shock me when he put his arms around my body before he stood up with me in his arms.
"ARGH..!" I shout in pain when I feel my body moves.
It hurts everywhere!!
Oh God, what's happening to me?!
He stops moving and looking at me with a little concern before slowly he put me down on the ground again which makes me release a relieved breath.
My head pounding harder and my feet throbbing hard, I feel like I'm dying.
God, help me, I need a doctor.
"I need to go to hospital now, please" I speak and hear nothing coming from him then remember that he can't understand what I am speaking.
Perfect...!!
Lost in another place with someone who doesn't understand me.
"Kau butuh gerobak, tunggu disini (You need carriage, wait here)" He said with a raised hand before the turnaround and leave.
Fear that he's going to leave me alone here, quickly I try to grab his clothes to stop him "no... No, please, don't leave me here" I whine with tears in my eyes, he's the only human I know and.. and I don't know if I can survive alone here, Oh God, please don't let him left me.
The man stopped when I grab his black jacket before turn his gaze back on me with a raised brow.
"Please.. Please don't leave me alone here" I sniff and start crying harder.
It hurts everywhere...
No Parents, no brothers, no Alora, no one...
How can I survive if he also leaving me?!
"Please..."
A moment later I am shocked when I feel something touch my cheek only to realize that it was the man's hand before I looking up to meet his gaze.
He gives me a nod with still his nonexpression face.
"Aku tidak akan meninggalkanmu, aku hanya mencari sesuatu untuk dapat membawamu ke penyembuh di kota terdekat karena aku tidak bisa menggendongmu tanpa kamu kesakitan (I won't leaving, I just going to find a carriage or something to carry you to the nearest healer since I can't carry you without hurting you)" He said longer like he explain something, but I can't understand any words he said.
I saw him sigh again before he pushes me back on the ground to sit and with his hands point to something behind him.
Is that mean he's trying to find something?
Is that mean he's not leaving me?!
Slowly I nod my head since I don't know how else I could respond to him.
He gives me his backpack with his black huge jacket which he put around my shoulder before walk away in another direction.
Knowing that I had his belongings means he's not leaving, right?
I just hope it was right, was my last taught before lean on the rock and try to find a suitable position to wait since I can't move.
Where am I?
What is this place?
No building, no cars, no human, only a tree, and bushes.
But why I am here?
How can I lose here when I just in my town with Alora hours ago?
Time travel...
Am I having a thing that people said time travel?
But I have no power to do that thing and I am not a mutant or something.
God...
This unknowing thing is killing me.
What should I do now?
Lost in place I don't know with a man who has no expression with a dark aura around him.
How can I end in this position?!
******
"Ow.. ow.. gently, I'm hurt, you know!!"
Huh?
A voice...
"OWW..!!"
I open my eyes at the same time the man comes with a carriage and another man on the back.
"Oh, this is where you take me? I thought you said you're going to take me to the healer?!" I heard the other man speak at the same time he jumped from the carriage and walk to where I lay on the ground.
He ignores the other man and just walking, even when he shouted at him.
"Kau tidak apa-apa? (you okay?)" I try not to blush when he kneel in front of me while speaking, before start touching my head and cheek softly, as he care about my health.
No man, besides my brother, even show this kindness to me.
So I can't help but blush hard, stupid Kiera!
When he put his arms on my body, I know he's going to carry me.
So I embrace myself from the pain that I will feel before putting my hands on his neck.
Wincing with a little grunt, I watch how he effortlessly carry me to the carriage beside the man who, also, wounded on his feet.
The other man gives me a smile and nods his head when I sat beside him "Hello"
Well.. I know those words.
"Hello" I replied since I guess in here hello is also a hello in my world.
"Apa yang terjadi? lukamu terlihat cukup parah dan kau sangat pucat (What's happen? it looks bad and you look pale like a ghost)" He said and now I feel stupid because I don't know what he's talking about so I turn my gaze to my savior looking for help.
He put his jacket as a blanket to me with a tender touch that surprised me more.
"Kena gigit lintah raksasa dan butuh penyembuh sebelum infeksi (Get bite by the giant leech and need a healer fast before infection)" I heard he spoke to the other man who now staring at me with interest.
"Kenapa kau yang jawab? (Why you answer for her?)" He said to him with a raised brow which makes me take a look again at my savior, wondering what are they talking about.
"Dia dari wilayah lain yang memiliki beda bahasa (She's from another place who has different language)" I heard him speak to the man beside me who nods his head before he turns his gaze on me again.
"Tak apa, perjalanan ke kota terdekat butuh sekitar 8 jam, aku akan mengajarkanmu sedikit bahasa sehari-hari (No problem, it need 8 hours to go to the nearest town meanwhile I'll teach you our language)" He said to me with a hopeful smile, and even though I can't understand him, I return his warm smile with a small nod to assure him that I agree with whatever he said to me.
We start the journey not long after that and I take a look around that this place looks like in Vegas, without the casino and building though but this is almost like a desert in Vegas that I always saw on TV.
Am I in Vegas?
I just hope so...
Turning my gaze to the man who is my savior, I just realize that I don't know his name.
He looks handsome with dark hair and black eyes with a little pale color skin that looks almost like a prince, but something definitely strange about him.
He looks almost inhuman, but I guess this is just my imagination because I thought I saw something like fangs on his teeth?
But whatever it is, he's the one who helps me in the place where I don't have anyone at the needed time.
So I must trust him.
If he's bad, he could kill me or leave me back there, but he did neither, which makes him trustworthy.
If I'm really trapped in this unknowing place, the first thing I need to do is learn the language.
"Jadi, namamu siapa? (So, what's your name?)" The wounded man beside me speaks and makes me turn my gaze from my savior to him.
I raise an eyebrow in questioning before he pointing himself.
"Nama.. Burt.. Kau? (You?)"
My eyes widened when realizing what he's mean, so I nod my head before following him.
This is a good start to learn the language, I guess.
"Nama.." I start and saw him nod in assuring before point my hand on my chest "Kiera"
The man gives me a wide grin with a nod "Kiera" He murmurs and I nod to tell him that was right "Hello, Kiera"
"Hello.. Burt?" I replied and saw him nod to tell me that I am right, he is Burt.
Well.. this is interesting.
I need to know my savior name after this.
