After experiencing two weeks of living in this forest, Leo has gradually adapted to the environment here. She was no longer vigilant, but also helped him go get food and do some other work. But everything aroused curiosity in her, especially him, though.
Today, like every day, she was assigned by him to pick firewood followed by a large but very friendly wolf. That day when he and she were talking, the wolf suddenly walked over to his mouth with a few branches of dry firewood, which surprised her, also because of her nature, he had intended to move his hands and feet, but he stopped her. Just like the white tiger, the wolf is also his friend, the three work together and live here. At that time, although she was a little scared, she realized that they were not as rumored, on the contrary, their nature was extremely friendly, they attacked others just to protect herself and her family.
Wandering around the forest, the two quickly found the spoils, they wanted to quickly return before dark, but because of the long road, they had to stop at a large old tree. The wolf also obediently lay down right next to her. Leo smiled slightly, gently stroking her soft gray fur, turning her eyes to the distance. Wondering when I felt like sticking here.
Since then, a series of idle lines of thoughts began to appear, stretching and covering the mind. But among them, what she cares most about is the mysterious guy named Taurus.
-"I'm very curious about him, there are many things that keep me wondering"
The wolf, leaning his chin on the ground, suddenly raised his head high and looked at her, it seemed to want to hear her confide.
-"And you, how do you feel about living with him. Should I trust him"
Her eyes fell to enjoy this mellowness. He moaned softly then rubbed her head against her feet, making her laugh. Only a long time later, the two had to finish the respended session and quickly returned home.
...
Although it was almost dark, it seemed that she had returned earlier than usual. The yellow light in the house that had just turned on brightly was also the time when she pushed the door in.
-"I'm back t..."
Under the flickering lights, the pupils seemed to narrow and wave the silhouette in front of her eyes, a fear and insecurity quickly surrounded her so that she could not continue her greeting.
-"You came home early today"
Taurus brought his somewhat surprised eyes and a little confusion to the girl opposite. She suddenly frowned, her voice tight but exuding anxiety.
-"What happened, why..."
In front of him is his body with a faded outfit full of fresh blood and right on the corners of his lips, there is also a red stain that is still moving and extending to the blush. She was worried and thought to herself that while she was absent from the house, something important had happened. Slowly approaching him lightly, she put her slender hands towards the stained fur coat so that she could check the wound on her body. But in an instant, he took her hand and held it away, his face as calm as usual, as if to reassure her current mood.
-"There's nothing to worry about, I'm just preparing food, so I accidentally get involved. So I think I should take a shower"
As soon as he finished his sentence, he turned around and left her to stand dumbfounded. He was very decisive and confident that he didn't seem to reveal any clues so that she could exploit and answer all the thoughts in her mind. Whether his words were true and should she believe them. Even she couldn't even explain.
...
The night fell on the dark clouds, now began to cover everywhere. It was late at night, then Leo was still standing in the kitchen to prepare food for everyone. As usual, she will entertain two friends, the white tiger and the gray wolf, first, then it will be her turn to enjoy. Although it was only the early days, she was quite confident in her culinary skills. The sweet dish still smells good but emits hot smoke, she enjoys a little new flavor prepared by herself. Looking at the white tiger and gray wolf who were still enthusiastically eating and drinking, she was also happy. As soon as Taurus pushed the door in from behind the house, he had just finished taking a shower, so the person still damp in water hurriedly wore a fur coat, partly because the cold weather is getting colder at night.
-"I don't eat again"
-"I ate"
The saying she had to listen to over and over again even though he couldn't see once he touched the dishes on the table. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him kneeling down and gently caressed the gray wolf in her heart and there was doubt.
-"You don't need to go get firewood with my friend tomorrow"
He suddenly interrupted the thoughts in his mind, making everything chaotic. Leo was bewildered and still did not hear the opponent's conversation clearly.
-"What?"
-"You don't need to go get firewood tomorrow"
-"Why?"
Wondering that she still didn't understand anything, she looked at him without taking her eyes off her heart and suddenly raised a feeling of insecurity and was extremely worried.
-"Also been here for a long time I think there are some places you haven't explored yet so just find out everything naturally, it will be easier for you to get lost"
As if he had finished his work, he suddenly stood up and then slowly walked out. She thought for a long time and finally accepted his will. When she had a thought in her mind, she suddenly laughed.
-"Even that place"
...
The sun's appearance is a sign of a new day beginning, but that's not why it can repel the inherent gloom. At that time, the cold winds were still lightly active and passed through the dry leaves, making it unable to stand still, but to sway with a dry rustling sound. Also because the weather is always cold to the bone, this place is not a destination for birds or living plants, so this place always looks very gloomy and quiet.
In the sleeping Leo room, she was suddenly awakened, she with difficulty slowly lifted her eyelashes hard. Quickly, the feeling of viscous and wet on his cheekbones made him startled and wake up. I don't know when the gray wolf was here and good morning her with a touching love. He stared at her intently then howled a small, involuntarily making her smile. Following the wolf to the porch, she puffed up to enjoy the fresh air of the smell of grass and trees. Only now did she notice that he and the white tiger were no longer at home, believing that they had gone out to find food today. Suddenly his sentence from yesterday suddenly reappeared, making her dumbfounded, that's right, today she doesn't need to go get firewood anymore. Thinking that, she sighed, there must still be a lot of time, maybe she should visit here for a while, with the gray wolf as a guide she may get used to this place quickly. However, after observing everywhere, she felt disappointed because the tour was quite meaningless because this place was like a loop with only trees, grass and a dominant color.
Only a long time later, when the gray wolf was still enthusiastic, he continued to move and guide her. Leo suddenly stopped walking, she frowned and looked extremely serious. Looking back at the old road I took unconsciously, I took a step back.
-"Let's go back soon, it seems that it's time"
After finishing her words, she turned around and ran quickly away from the gray wolf, still tilting her head in bewilderment.
Returning to the chalet, everything was quite normal, Leo gasped and leaned against the tree next to him to regain his strength. Meanwhile, she rolled her eyes and silently watched around, apparently returning. Evidence on the ground in the southwest, where they started, still had a few tiny streaks of blood left, as if caught at this rare time, her face as luminescent could not stop herself from laughing. Maybe she should also know a little bit about him.
Quickly walked to the area that he had prevented her from accessing, this place was simply a normal food preparation area, but she was not allowed to look at it. Wandering about those thoughts, so I don't know when she stood right in front of the door of the room. Taking a deep breath, she reassured herself and told her to just secretly watch him work to relieve a little doubt. She narrowed her eyes and tried to look at the opener on the worn wooden door, then she thought everything would not be a big deal to call it a secret, but the terrifying scene in front of her cut off that innocent thought. Imagining some of the previous things she finally enlightened everything, he was not as simple as what she had imagined. The feeling now in her was disturbed, angry and scared she didn't know how to control it. Temporarily put aside her own damn feelings of wanting to go back in secret.
...
Although she was cooking, her mind drifted elsewhere. Waiting until the pot of water had boiled and stammered, a drop of water accidentally hit her hand, startled her to return to reality. At this moment, he appeared from nowhere in his hand and held some prepared rabbit meat and placed it on the table, this somehow scared her, but avoided revealing her tense face and gradually returning to normal times.
-"Hey, help me cut the meat"
She turned her lethargic eyes and wrinkled puffiness that looked lifeless towards him then returned to work. When he heard that, he didn't complain, it was still an emotionless face, he chose to be silent and start his next job. Everything right after that happened very peacefully. She still doesn't want to act yet, she can only glance at him in silence. A small knife was pulled out of his light pocket, deliberately crossed his arms and put them behind his back to hide traces of the weapon, then approached him step by step.
-"Cut it done"
-"I s.."
He suddenly fell silent, his melancholy eyes glanced at the artifact placed right in front of his neck. It is very sharp as if just a small movement can cut off the flesh. But strangely, he didn't seem to be afraid but continued with his work as if nothing had ever happened.
-"Say it, all"
-"You saw it, didn't you?"
He lowered his eyes slightly and brought his small deep voice to inquire. After she was a little shocked and adjusted her own state to balance, the more she clenched the whole knife into her palm, indicating that she would never let go without knowing the truth.
-"I was very curious why you didn't touch a piece of food but now I get it"
-"Oh, so you think I'm threatening your safety"
Leo smiled except for his murderous eyes that did not relieve a little, on the contrary, it multiplied. However, for some reason, she was confused and restless at what she was doing instead of having to get angry or fear around her.
-"If I say it's a curse, do you believe it"
She rolled her eyes as soon as he finished speaking, partly because she felt more confused, she didn't believe it.
-"A curse, it's ridiculous. What can you get to prove"
He suddenly stopped all activities, although his eyes still stared at the meat that had been cut to make it slim, just sighed, slowly raised his head and then looked at the tasteless wooden roof.
-"Maybe it's almost there"
She frowned inexplicably unaware that on the outside the figure of a woman with flowing white hair and a mysterious black outfit was approaching the house. She walked step by step, around like black air covering that ivory silhouette.
On the veranda, the gray wolf is gnawing with the white tiger a few branches of dry firewood before the meal. He discovered a familiar noise after discovering that body, he jumped up and growled. The blue eyes were slightly silhouetted, the gray wolf frowned and retreated away, while the white tiger was still calm, on the contrary, it was still quite happy, the tail was constantly waving strongly.
-"Long time no see but still hate me dear wolf"
