Chapter 7

We were under the hut that had long been abandoned. Because its roofs are broken. The Third and I have no choice but to take refuge here in the meantime. "We are here first while we help has not yet arrived," He said.

She just nodded. She rolled her eyes inside the hut made of bamboo. It has a small lounge and stove with utensils such as plates, spoons, glasses and pots. It's complete. She just doesn't have enough rice and a dish So, she can cook something to eat. But before that, she had to clean it first because it was full of dirt. "Okay, I have no choice but to come here. I'm scared to sleep in the forest instead!" She answers.

When she got tired of circling for a moment she turned to Third. It turned pale and it just sat quietly in the corner. Its eyes are also closed. She also noticed the bleeding of his wound So, that's why. She immediately looked for something that could be used to stop the bleeding in his wound.

She rummaged through the things. She saw inside, saying that she had found some medicine left by the former resident here. She found Betadine and rubbing alcohol that had not been opened and would expire the day before. She took it immediately to clean Third's wound.

She immediately approached Third. She stared at him for a moment. He was very handsome and his nose was even sharper than Steven's. His lips are also thin enough to be applauded with a kiss and it's not boring to stare at it. "Are you done staring at me?" She heard him ask. And she immediately bowed down and pretended to do something.

"What are you looking at? No!"

"Catherine, even with my eyes closed. I can still feel someone staring at this handsome face of mine!" He said with a smile and the pain made his wound scream.

"Wow! It's the strength of your feeling. But I'm sorry you're thinking wrong. I'm not staring at you. Then, why I'm staring at you? Who are you?" She said with annoyance in her voice.

"Okay, you said," He replied to him.

She gasped as she treated his wound. She noticed it was paler and did not speak. That's why she nervous that something bad will happen to Third. She doesn't want to lose a companion, especially in this place and she is also at fault. If it didn't save him, maybe she is now in Third's position.

So, she hurried to clean his wound. So, that Third would not be infected. Nor did it complain. His eyes remained closed. And she could only hear his breathing more deeply. When she finished cleaning his wound. She got up and faced what else to do? But before she left him. She woke it up first. To let him know that. She will come out for a while to look for something to eat. But all. What she could hear was his growl.

Without it wakes up. She went out and went to the cassava she saw. She knew cassava was what she had seen earlier. Then she knew how to eat it. Because she also often ate it when Mommy was alive.

Suddenly something entered Catherine's mind. That day how her parents were killed.

Flashback:

Deep into the night when she heard gunshots. She immediately looked at it, but her eyes widened when she saw three armed men with guns and their faces covered.

"Mommy..." She said. The surroundings were dark she did not know why it was dark or accidentally cut off the power connection.

She hid as soon as she saw the three men coming into her room. She was wearing clothes. Then, she was wearing only slippers. When they passed him. She immediately came out of her hiding place and went to her parent's room. But just at the door, her steps became heavier. She immediately covered her mouth when she saw mommy's head separated from her body. She next looked for Daddy when she couldn't find him. But because of the blood on the floor, she immediately found him and there she cried when she saw the pitiful misery of his life. She thinks of torturing it first before drowning in the bathtub full of water.

In her tears. She didn't notice the people coming into daddy and mommy's room. It's too late for them to see me. "Hey! Who are you?" A loud voice questions him. Before they could get close. She immediately jumped to the exit. She no longer thinks about how high she will fall. What was on my mind that night was to escape and ask for help.

When she fell, she injured her foot, but she just ignored it. Because she was afraid they would catch her and kill him afterwards that's what she wouldn't allow. Her tears still did not stop flowing. He never thought this would happen to him. She could not forget the tragic fate of her parents.

She was still able to walk because of the pain, but she still tried to walk to ask for help. It's just hard for no one to see him because it's late at night and everyone asleep.

She did nothing, crying as she continued to walk. Fear gripped Catherine as she noticed a car approaching. She immediately hid before they could see him.

In the big post, she was able to hide and near him, the car stopped. They went down to look for him. She holds her breath. So, she doesn't make a noise. She just prayed not to be seen.

She could not move her hiding place

For fear of being seen and killed as her parents did.

"Find the woman! Before the sun rises. If not! I will kill you! " The angry command of the man wears a masked.

"But Boss, we've searched the whole place. The woman isn't here. Maybe she's gone away," He said with curly hair.

"Stupid! If you weren't stupid! We would have killed her! " The angry rebuke of the man once it's gun to the head.

Catherine almost screamed when she saw the man shot and in front of her fell. It's a good thing she covered her mouth right away.

"You will also suffer what happened to that fool. If you are still failing," He said anger voice. Fear can be seen on the faces of its other comrades.

There Catherine's bitter concern was cut short of her memory. To this day she is still looking to kill her parents. She was also not, put to sleep for several nights due to the severity of her trauma. 

Grandpa always told him not to think about what was happening because she was supposed to take care of it. That's why she tries to forget the past that it tries to squeeze into her mind.

She immediately pulled out the cassava. She didn't pull it right away because the ground was hard but she tried to remove it. So, that she and Third could eat something. When she removed it. She jumps for joy at finally getting them too.
