Louisa Unchained Chapter 25
Louisa’s POV "Little rascal. What are you doing up on an elephant’s head?" I heard a familiar voice. I couldn’t believe what I heard. "Uma?! Is that you?!" I cried out and tried to get down. The mother elephant used her trunk to wrap me again. She carried me and put me down next to a blurry figure. I struggled to get up, but I could only lift my body up with one arm. A pair of warm and gentle hands were placed on my waist and lifted me up. Then, I smelt it. The fragrance of thyme and hypericum. "Uma… It’s really you! I’m not dreaming! You’re here with me. You aren’t dead!" I cried in her arms. Her skin was soft and tender. "I know. I know. Little rascal. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone." she said. I lifted my hands to touch her face. Her eyebrows, her nose, her lips and her chin. It was really her! "Uma, Lucian said that you were dead…" I cried, "He said you bit your own tongue and you were burnt in the fire…" "I am here, you little ra
Louisa Unchained Chapter 26
Louisa’ POV Uma set up a bonfire in the middle of the clearing. The moonlight and dim flame light combined together and illuminated her flawless silhouette. All of my limbs regained mobility. So I crawled down the big black wolf’s back and took out some potion from my baggage. I walked towards the mother elephant, looked up and said, "Thank you for helping me. I’m going to apply some potion to your leg. If you leave the wound like this, it will get inflamed." The elephant flapped her ears for acknowledgment. I poured some potion on her leg. Her leg twitched for a bit. "Is that hurt?" I asked. "I’ve got worse." she said. She slowly turned her back and showed me a big scar on the other leg. Even though it was recovered, I could still see a dent on her leg. Part of her leg’s flesh was missing. "What happened?" I gasped. "A wolf bit me." she said, "A giant black wolf." "That wolf?" I pointed to my wolf, which was lying next to the bonfire with eyes half-c
Louisa Unchained Chapter 27
Louisa’s POV When the first ray of morning sun woke me up, I stretched out my arms and murmured, "Uma…" There was nothing in front of me except the relics of the bonfire. I couldn’t see Uma anywhere. I turned back. The black wolf was still behind me, sleeping soundly. "Uma…?" I raised my voice a bit and my throat was burning. I was so thirsty. Then, I heard some rustling sound coming behind a bush. I was alerted because I thought it might be a snake or something. So I pulled up a charred stick and tried to defend myself. A hUman figure emerged from the bush. It was a young man in Uma’s clothes. He had got fair hair and a pair of turquoise-colored eyes. He was holding a bowl made of bamboo stick, which was filled with water. He was surprised to see me awake, so the water splashed a bit from the bowl. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up." he walked to me and said, "I thought you might need some water when you’re awake." "Stop! Don’t come closer!"
Louisa Unchained Chapter 28
Louisa’s POV When I went back to the clearing, I saw the big black wolf putting a nest of quail eggs and a chunk of bee hive next to the bonfire. He then tilted his head and looked at me. Sticky honey was dripping from his mouth. I smiled and quickly walked up to him. I tiptoed and wiped the honey on his snout. The sticky substance got on my hands and I smiled. "It’s so slimy." I said. He looked happy and started to lick my hands. "You like honey, don’t you, Finn?" I giggled while his tongue was tickling my palms. He suddenly stopped and looked at me with surprise. His stare was full of passion and sincerity, which made my face burn. I lowered my head and said, "I’ll go wash my hands and make some eggs and compote for breakfast." As I was about to walk away, I found that my sleeve was pulled. I turned back and saw him holding my sleeve in his mouth. "What?" I smiled, "I have to cook breakfast. You can come with me if you want. Catch some fish, maybe. Th
Louisa Unchained Chapter 29
Lucas’ POV "What the fuck did she just say? How dare she flirt with other men like that without my permission?!" I shouted. The fucking wolf didn’t say anything. He just lay on the side of the bonfire and watched the she-wolf running around and making breakfast with that fucking warlock. "What is this? Playing house? What the fuck is wrong with the happy look on your face? You’re supposed to be miserable! Have you become her dog now?" I yelled. "You don’t have to raise your voice. I’m the only one who can hear you right now." my wolf said and his eyes started to get half-closed, "I look happy because I am happy. She has just declared her love for me. So I’m her lover, not her dog. You, on the other hand, will never get her love." "I don’t want her love!" his attitude was really irritating, "I’m going to reject and kill her anyway. I let you out to earn her trust and get her real name. I need some mission status report, right now!" He drew a line on the soil with his pa
Louisa Unchained Chapter 30
Louisa’s POV "We’ve prepared everything. Have you found a flint to start the fire?" I asked Darren. "That won’t be necessary." he replied and snapped his slender fingers. Flame of fire appeared on the tip of his fingers and he used it to light the bonfire. "That’s amazing! How do you do that?" I looked at him with surprise. "We were born with different abilities summon elements in the nature. My brother…" he paused a bit and lowered his head, "When he was alive, he could summon water." "I’m sorry to hear that, Darren." I said, "It’s difficult to lose a family member. "It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have mentioned it." Darren said, throwing some branches and sticks into the fire. "No, I want to learn more about you." I said, "You can tell me everything." Darren put a slate of stone on the fire, putting some flax and water on it. "My brother and I were born in the… brothel." he flicked the fire and watched the flax seeding melting into oil on the slate, "We have never
Louisa Unchained Chapter 31
Louisa’s POV I poured the compote into a bamboo bowl and handed it to Darren. "I’m so sorry to hear that." I said. "Sorry, Lisa." Darren said, "I shouldn’t have mentioned this to you. I have never told this to anyone." "It’s OK. You know, in the past, my stepbrother used to beat me. I felt so wronged and unfair, but I couldn’t fight him, because I’m weak. Sometimes I cried so hard at night that I just couldn’t go to sleep. At that time, Uma would come to me and encourage me to talk about what happened. I found that a problem shared is a problem halved. Sometimes, we just have to let things out instead of disgusting them by ourselves." "I’m sorry for pretending to be Uma. Master wants me to make you happy. He caught a White Walker soldier and asked him to describe Uma to me. I tried my best to become her, but I guess I’m just too useless…" "Don’t say that. You’ve done a great job. I really wish she could be still alive, even if it’s just an illusion. That’s why I didn’t w
Louisa Unchained Chapter 32
Louisa’s POV The walk to the cottage was dreadful. I had never walked to the heart of the forest before. Tree branches trees were getting denser, twisting and covering sunlight and scratching the sky, like they were there at the beginning of time. My old nanny used to tell me bedtime stories, saying that in the deepest part of the forest, where time has no meaning, the incredible waterfall descends endlessly over the rocks. In the distance, the songs, clicks, and whistles of birds give approval to the gentle rain. But the forest where I was walking in reminded me nothing of a tranquilizing scene from a bedtime story. It was completely silent and the silence was slowly eating me alive. Finn was walking next to me. He must have detected my anxiety and used his nose to poke my hand. "Is that normal for a forest to be this silent?" I whispered to Finn. Finn shook his head. He didn't look worried, but he wasn't relaxed, either. I could tell something was wrong. But wi
