บท 43: What Did You See?

The man dressed in a flaming red shirt with a few buttons remaining open revealing his defined pectorals and his arms rippling with muscles stretched the shirt taut. A mischievous grin smothered on his face, one of his canines poking through his full peach-coloured lips. His long black hair fell to his waist, with curls running through the full length of his silky hair. His snake-like eyes pierced through the gloomy night, casting the ground in a shimmering yellow. His face was without imperfection, his jaw pristinely chiselled, and his sharp features enhanced his beauty. Even I had to stop to admire his divine face for a moment.

"Who are you," I shook my head to regain my sanity as I squinted my eyes, staring at him with caution. He tapped his chin in deep contemplation. The way he lowered his eyes in concentration made me tilt my head in surprise. It was as if he himself did not understand who he was.

"Girl, that's a good question" He bowed down staring into my eyes, I flinched tensing my muscles and leaning back to put some distance between us. "Do you by chance know who I am, girl?

Huh? Was this man crazy? 'Al, hey Al help me out a bit!' I screamed in my head but there was no response.

"Hey-" I stopped my sentence as I held my head in my palms, I lost too much blood, my vision blurred and the world spun. I looked up at the man who I now saw two of. His words meshed in my brain creating incoherent words and then the world went black.

--------------------

I groaned, holding my throbbing head in my palms. I fluttered my eyes open, allowing my eyes to readjust. Once the blurred picture cleared up, I looked around in a daze at the rugged stone room or rather cave, in the distance loud wet crashing echoed I looked to the source of the noise and saw a large water wall slamming to the ground froth spewing in all directions.

"You're awake!" I looked to the voice, seeing the black-haired man emerging from a section of the cave, a toothy grin on his face. I jolted up from the hard cold bed beneath me and reached out for my dagger ready to attack, huh? Where's my dagger? I gripped at empty air.

"Um... please cover yourself," I looked back to the man, seeing a huge red-patch bloom across his cheeks to the tip of his ears. His large hands covering his yellow eyes. I tilted my head in confusion and trailed my eyes down, looking to my body. A coarse white blanket was on my lap while my breasts were exposed to the open-air cool breeze hitting their tips ever so often. My eyes widened, I jumped from the bed or rather slab of smooth stone I was on, pulling the blanket with me and tying it around myself to mask my bare body.

"Who are you?!! Give me my stuff back pervert!" I pointed a finger at him accusingly.

"That's not it! Hear me out first!" I ignored his words, kicking his side. He blocked it with his hand and stepped back. "Look I saw nothing! Well, until you dropped the blanket," He mumbled the last sentence. I grit my teeth in anger. Even I didn't know why I was so mad because truthfully many people have seen me naked but at least I had been awake and had some control, but this man just took advantage of me sleeping!

I kicked to his stomach, but he dodged once again, I threw countless kicks but each was flawlessly dodged or parried which came as a surprise since this same man that was a blushing mess and donned an innocent smile was surprisingly agile; it looks like his muscles weren't just for show.

I threw him another kick, this time aiming for his head. He swiftly clasped my ankle in his hand and tightened his grip on it. "Look, I told you I saw nothing I promise,"

"Then why am I naked, did you rape me," I narrowed my eyes staring at him. He frowned, hearing my question.

"Of course not, I just wanted to wrap your wounds, so I took off your clothes but my eyes were closed, I swear, the only time I saw something was when you...." His voice got softer and softer as he spoke it didn't seem like he was lying. I touched my shoulder, feeling coarse bandages wrapped around the arrow wounds.

"Oh, and I also saw that thing on your back, what was that it's such a strange symbol, also the tattoo on your arm, is the symbol on your back also a tattoo?" I shuddered hearing his words, yanking my leg from his grip.

"What did you say?" my apple eye glowed inspecting each of his expressions not ready to miss a single one.

"Huh? It was a mistake I promise, I didn't mean to see your back," I smashed my foot down on his toes while he was distracted. He grabbed his shin as he jumped in pain. Taking that moment of carelessness I kicked the back of his knee. He fell to the ground with a loud groan. I climbed onto his body, my hands clasped tightly on his neck.

He threw me a baffled expression, I tightened my grip on his neck, my red eye glowing brighter than ever "You think this is funny? Is this a game to you?"
