Heart of the Beast

Chapter 5

The journey to the nearest town needs more time than I imagine, aren't they have a car or chopper?

God, this carriage thing is killing me.

Not only it slow but uncomfortable.

I could kill for having my brother car right now to go to the hospital.

My feet throbbing again and my head pounding harder than before which make me lean on my savior backpack as a pillow to slow the bump from the bumping road.

My language learns to stop when I can't use my brain anymore, but at least I can understand how to greet people and return them, it's not much but it's something.

I just a second to hit the dream when it stopped suddenly which make it jerk roughly.

"What the..."

"Kiera, shush" The wounded man beside me quickly speak and make me look up from where I lay to see that we're surrounded by more than a dozen man with guns on their hands.

Oh my God, what is happening now?

Guns?

Is this a joke in the cowboy area?

The gunmen lock their gaze on my savior, thank God I'm wearing his jacket and hid my long hair under his hood so no one pays any attention to me because I know people with guns loves the woman and they want it for one purpose only.

Shiver in fear I try to hide from them with the huge jacket I wore.

Oh God, what's happening to me now?

My savior, is he going to be alright?

"Well.. well.. a traveler?"  I heard the nearest gunman speak with an evil sneer toward my savior.

"You know, all traveler need to pay the road tax, right?" Another one speaks and my savior only sighs loudly.

"I'm in a bad mood, so you better go and leave us or I won't guarantee you all going to like what I will do to you"  This is the first I heard my savior speak that cold and deep to people, he never use that tone toward me and I can't help myself but feel a shiver in fear because of his voice than the two gunmen before.

Oh God, what will be going to happen to us?

Every gun men laugh out loud after my savior spoke, which means whatever he said is amused them but it's not a friendly laugh, more like mockery.

"Give me your money!!!" The first gunman shouts before I feel someone try to grab his bag pack from my hands and I stupidly scream like a woman I am which I know to pay attention to all of the men now.

SHIT!!

Me and my mouth!!!

"Well.. well.. well.. Look what we have here" Another gunman, who stood nearest me, speak before roughly he pulled the material that hid my face and hair then gasp loudly with wide eyes staring at me "What do we have here?"  He murmurs in amazement like he never saw a woman before.

"Don't touch her!!" I heard my savior growl with his gaze lock to the man who takes more steps closer to where I sat on the carriage with hunger expression and raise a hand toward me.

Oh God, what will happen to me?

I shook my head repeatedly with tears building in my eyes when I see he's getting closer.

I know my savior can't do anything against a dozen with the gunman and it leaves me with.. what?

Death is the only answer...

I won't let them have me.

"No... no, please no"

"I SAID LEAVE OR ELSE!!!" We all shock when we hear my savior roar loudly before he grabs the man's hand who almost touches me and breaks it with one single grip.

"AAAAHHHHH...!!!!"

My eyes widened in shock for what I see in front of me, how can he break a bone that easy with one grip?!

And that's the only trigger for the other gunman to start shooting their guns at us.

In a second I felt a hand on my body before I'm being lifted by my savior to run fast to the back of the carriage where I could hide my body from the gunshot.

"Help me!!" I heard the other wounded man on the carriage shout in panic before he throws his body beside me under the carriage while my savior turns his angry gaze toward the gun man with an animal growl coming out from his mouth.

I can't hold my own surprise to see him like that.

Who could growl like that?

Who has strength like that?

Is he a human?

How?

How?

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH,,,,!!!!"

Scream... That's the only thing I could hear after that because to shock to see more, I just close my eyes while listening to the gunshot and screaming coming from the scene in front of me.

"He's not human" I heard the wounded man beside me speak and looking up to see him look terrified with whatever happens in front of us.

I don't understand him, but whatever he thinks right now must be the same that no human could do something like my savior does.

He takes the bullet without scream in pain and breaks a human with a single touch.

He can't be human.

Who are you, my savior?
