Into the Woods Chapter 9: His Hug
Chapter 9: His Hug ELIAS’ POV “I can’t believe him. Is he really my brother? Why is he so stupid?” Shahida had been complaining the moment we reached her room. She continuously speak ill towards her brother as I close the door shut behind me. “You know? Why can’t he see Isabelle’s two-faced act? Even a child could recognize it from afar.” She kept on questioning his brother’s decision with things around the mansion. I wondered if Shahida was like this even before; she knows how to judge a person quickly and I don’t think she’s being irrational. After meeting Isabelle that day, I have come to my senses that she is not a normal wife of the alpha in this house. She is actually intimidating and menacingly evil in all aspect of her body. The bed lunged down as Shahida sat down on it and scrunched her face in annoyance. She looked like the older sibling among them. The difference between these two are Shahida looked the situation subjectively, while Apollo looked at it on the objecti
Into the Woods Chapter 10: The Town Rally
Chapter 10: The Town Rally “So, what else did you two do? Did you it already? Come on, Elias, tell me!” I mistakenly told Shy about what happened last night in my pad. Alpha Apollo lent his bare body and the accidental hug I did. But, I didn’t expect that Shy would be this interested with what happened. Because we’ve been walking in the market for an hour already yet she didn’t drop the topic unless I’d tell her. “Then, what happened to you feet? You are sprained. Is that the after effect of the two you’re sharing? That is quite… wild.” “Nothing particular happened, Shy. Stop it. I hugged him and he hugged me back. That is normal for me,” I told her, not minding if that speaks for a meaning or not. That is the truth. After a couple of minutes of hugging and when I felt like I could handle the coldness, I was the first one to break the hug. It did not last that long that something would happen like how Shy imagined. Last thing I remember was him, sitting beside the bed, while I
Into the Woods Chapter 11: The Hike
Chapter 11: The Hike Shahida and I went to the nearby shop they called Fortluck. It sells magic potions, accessories they believe could alter their future, and services like foreseeing. The owner lends his bathroom for Shahida to get dressed and fix herself. While in the living room that connects his sacred place where he does his service, he offers me tea he made personally. According to him, it's tea that puts your mind at ease. “Thank you,” I said while smiling. I put the tea cup on the table. The owner stared at me as if I have dirt on my face so I examined myself but I didn’t see any. The man collected himself and smiled at me which I found odd. “Is there something wrong with me?” I asked, fixing myself again. “Were you from Tillbury or were you originally here in Northcrest?” Heban, the owner, asked all of a sudden. Tillbury was outside Northcrest, that’s not under its jurisdiction. I smiled when he mentioned my hometown which is Tillbury. I spent my childhood days there
Into the Woods Chapter 12: The Help
Chapter 12: The Help ELIAS’ POV My body stiffened as it slides further downwards. Screaming loudly, I thought my soul separated from my body upon the huge impact. I immediately gripped a rock near me and hold on to it tightly. Gladly it was nott that bad but I felt my body ached from the slip. My forehead creased as a jolt of pain from everywhere surfaced as I try to get back. Lifting my body upwards, I held onto the twig tightly. I lowered my gaze down and saw how deep is the cliff I would be fall onto. If ever I would fall, I will be found alive nor dead. I would be drowned into the water or be eaten by a wildlife as a boar waited for me. “Elias, are you okay? Hold on tight!” Shahida shouted at me. Her face looked so worried upon seeing my situation. “I’m okay, Shahida. I… I will climb upwards,” I answered trying to lighten her worries. Even the warrior is fear-stricken. They could not believe I fell down. They offered their help however it was not enough to get me upwards.
Into the Woods Chapter 13: The Jealousy
Chapter 13: The Jealousy Everyone was on their heels again. We crossed rivers, shallow streams, and deep woods. During our hike, I did not feel like he is tired. I even heard him laugh a little but I shrugged it off because my brain tends to play little games. The village was mapped at the belly of the mountain top. The road became flat and more accessible to wheels. We finally reached the village by noon. “Welcome to our village, Alpha… and to you Lady Shahida,” he greeted while bowing his head down. The head villager welcomed us especially Apollo and Shahida. They talked things about what they have been through and what they need. I noticed that these people were traditional one because of how they look; their dresses were somehow related to their culture. There is a hall where everybody were staying. It was made of bamboo and coconut leaves. They were stuck inside because their stuff was in ruins. It was like the place was being wiped out from the map. “Are you sure you can w
Into the Woods Chapter 14: The Personal Physician
Chapter 14: The Personal Physician THE NEXT morning, I woke up with no signs of Apollo beside me. The sun is creeping in the tent and was blinding my eyes. I sat up for a while until I heard the surrounding is having a good time outside based on their hearty laugh and unending conversations. I stand up quickly, slide the zipper down of the tent, and rummaged my eyes outside. When Shy grabbed me by my wrist, she danced heartily in the middle of everyone. I was a bit flustered because I was not ready and did not even wash my mouth. “What happened to my brother? Why did he leave?” she asked confused but she’s dancing into the rhythm. The sounds from the improvised drums and bamboo flute were echoing. It made everyone dance as Shahida waved her waist. She convinced me to dance with her but I am not really a dancer so I didn’t obliged, instead I answered her query. “He did? I don’t know,” I shrugged my head. “Why would he leave?” “Did you kick him out last night? He seemed upset.” Sha
Into the Woods Chapter 15: The Disagreement
Chapter 15: The Disagreement Our ride back home was silent. Andrius arrived earlier at the village to send the Senior Council’s message for an emergency meeting. Perhaps, they knew what happened during our stay in the village. Apollo did nott talk and so do I. Instead of going with the warriors back home, Apollo insisted on taking me back with him. We reached the mansion by noon. Soon after, the councils came together like they were in a hurry with the Senior Council. Their eyes were staring directly at me as if I committed a heinous crime that I had to be ashamed of myself. And just as we were trained, I moved my gaze on the ground. I did not stare blatantly at those people higher than us because it’s a sign of disrespect to them. Apollo left us unannounced and headed straight to the conference room inside the mansion. He, then, guided the arrival of the councils. Andrius told Apollo about the agenda earlier and I am worried that it was all about my existence here. To save tim
Into the Woods Chapter 16: His Name
Chapter 16: His Name The councils were send off by Andrius and Aunt Isadora at the drive way. Alpha refused to send them off and just went straight to his office with me. And I had no choice but to follow him. But, before we parted ways, I heard them talking about me behind my back as if I did not exist in their world. “Don’t you recognize him? I think I have seen him somewhere.” “Why? Is he one of the slaves you slept with at the tavern?” “Are you insane? Why would I sleep with a man? I don’t lick jelly.” Two members of the council commented words at me as if they knew me but I did not make it big. The door shut as the Senior Council made his last glance at me as if reviewing my entire features and creased his forehead. They were laughing as they insulted me. I do not get this kind of people. They have attained education compared to me but they acted as if they did not learn anything in school. Even a dog can howl out of respect, why can’t they? Minutes went by but Apollo besi
