Chapter Three

She is looking at them like they are some clowns.

"Don't be afraid, beauty, we won't do anything bad, you just have to cooperate with us, that's it, nothing more" Another talked softly, but his words were enough to raise the disgust and contempt from the heart.

They all act like animals; no, even animals aren't like this; these people are worse than any beast.

Ophelia sighed to herself, muttering,

"People never change."

She knows this society changed from era to era. However, there is a slight arrogance in the men that they are still superior. At least, they still believe that women may have equal status in terms of social standing. However, women are still weak in body structure, while men still triumph in that aspect.

Because of that, women couldn't go alone at night.

There are still monsters like this who are waiting like a hawk for their prey,

Of course, women are their prey, for which she has nothing but disdain and disgust.

She always wanted to find these types of people to punish, and now just like that, here they presented themselves, and now they will learn that women are not the thing but are also humans and have the right to be what they want and no one can force them.

Her eyes turned red, and slowly her appearance started to become even more exotic and enhanced like a blooming night flower which looks stunning and enthralled to the light, which makes people fall in love and want to hold despite the dangers lurking around that flower,

[Author's Note: If you guys asking about 'night flower,' I don't know about that, but there are some night flower's which are seductive and makes people admire them and wants to touch them, but as usual, every beautiful thing have dangers of its own and that type of night flowers also which have its own risks, for example like some flowers attracts not only human beings but also animals (snake), so you can understand the rest]

When she saw those men who were surrounding her, she really felt nothing but disgust rising from the depth of her heart, and when she saw the way they were looking at her, raking her body with their eyes, she felt nothing but nausea and just wanted to gauge their eyes out.

Even without trying to get close or touching, she felt she was dirtied just by their eyes.

"Beauty, come here, we won't hurt you, see if you came obediently, then there is no need of fight right, see if you come by yourself towards us, then everything will be smooth, if not maybe at the end you will also lose your life, hehe, come here."

Another person called Ophelia like a pet, and hearing that, others also laughed and nodded their heads in agreement.

Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped, and everyone shivered; they didn't know why they felt so chili; just a moment ago, they could bear it even if it was cold.

After all, that was a familiar cold atmosphere around the city, suddenly; they felt chill not only on the outside but also they felt afraid.

The same wise man in them, who felt something wrong at first, now opened his mouth,

"I... I think we should go from here. This...., this atmosphere isn't right, we should leave from here, I think there is something dangerous here."

When other's heard his words, they all felt that he is a coward, and someone chimed,

"Why are you fearing? Are you still a child who is still wet behind the ears, fearing what? It would be just temperature, not a monster in front, if it dropped then dropped, after all, there is something here which can make us hot and bothered in front of us, and we leave this like this, hehe, if you are afraid then go, we will no come with you until we enjoy our feast" saying that he licked his lips.

For those words, others laughed loudly, which made that person's face go wrong; he is also a man, and they bruised his ego.

He felt anger rising in him, but there is still some consciousness left in him which is constantly growing fear in his heart which made him calm his anger, and be practical in this time,

"In this city, have you ever seen temperature being strange? Never right? so there is a problem in this forest; if you want someone to warm up then find outside or just drag her outside, this place is weird, and we should get out from here as soon as possible; if not, then we will be left with bones only."

He still warned them, and he was ready to walk out of the forest, but when he was just about to step out of the woods, he was bounced back; he felt weird and again tried to walk, but still, he was bounced back.

He felt horror, and an alarming bell rang in his mind.

He knows there have always been rumors about this forest in the city,

But he never paid attention to that; after all, who can say how much truth would those rumors hold,

Because of that, he would always laugh and dismiss those words,

Like,

'Something is going on in this forest, and if anyone enters the sunset, those people will never come out alive.'

'There is a monster residing in this forest, which eats humans'

'There are still many animals present who will kill anyone who entered this forest.'

In the end, this forest is dangerous for anyone who wants to enter,

He always thought that there is something worth money; that's why rich people and those corrupt officials have spread this rumor so ordinary people shouldn't enter.

Because ordinary citizens are like many brainless followers, whatever you say, they will believe and follow.

But now, seeing with his own eyes, he felt those rumors seem accurate, and now he felt unsettled.

When others saw this, they thought he is acting, someone asked,

"Brother, why aren't you leaving? Didn't you say that you will go, why? Do you want to stay here and enjoy yourself? Brother, you can come back; we will not mind, though."

They all thought he is regretting his words; that's why now he is acting like this,

"I am not coveting beauty, but I can't leave this place; it's like pushing me back if you don't believe me, then come and try" He spread his hands in helplessness.

It's not that he didn't do this type of thing, like playing with women, and that is also with his brothers; after all, he is also a man and has needs, but that doesn't mean he lost his mind in the lust.

He is having the alarm bells in his mind, which is a sign of danger.

At this time, he knows that life is essential, and now if he doesn't go out and stays here, then he will definitely lose his life, that's why even though somewhere in his mind he wants to enjoy this beauty, that doesn't mean the cost of his life.

But, no matter what he thought about escaping, he still couldn't get out of here.

This time other than the fear, he also felt panic growing in him.

He felt something flashing in his mind, and he suddenly turned to look at the only woman surrounded by them, but he was still calm, so calm that he felt afraid.

He doesn't know why his mind has only one thought,

'This forest and the girl have some connection; if they don't leave when there is time, then they will never be able to leave this forest alive at least.'

When others heard him, they thought he is joking and wants to see what the 'ghost' thing he is acting, and went there,

When he was about to pass through with the mocking smile on his face, he suddenly bounced back like the first one.

Se he tried again,

Still, he couldn't pass through; with that, the mocking smile on his face also disappeared.

So he tried again, this time he used all his strength and tried to pass the fog and go out from the forest, but still, the same thing happened.

After that, he felt fear, and he looked at others; when others saw his face, they felt the seriousness of this matter.

They looked at each other; now, there is no lust or playfulness; instead, they have fear, fear for their life.

They are the people who always kill people for money, but they are the one who is most afraid of death, so when they saw that they couldn't leave from here, they didn't take it as fun.

They even forgot about the woman who they followed, now what they have as their priority is leaving from here that is also alive.

They didn't want to come in the next morning's news and paper headlines as deceased.

All of them ran towards the entrance of the forest, even though there was fog. They already adjusted to the mist, so they can see what is going on hazily.

They all ran towards the forest entrance to pass, but they would be bounced back every time they tried to walk through.

One of them, who was sacred bad, started to shout,

"I want to go back, my mum is waiting for me at home, please leave us, leave me, I will leave right away, will never come back here again, please Oh!!! Mighty God of the forest, I am innocent; leave me alone."

With his words, manty also started to echo him and look around and shout to let them get away from here to get out of this forest, never even look back towards this forest.

They are even solemnly vowing that they will not do anything wrong.

Almost all of them are on their knees, bowing their head and asking for forgiveness.

Suddenly, the wise man among them pointed his finger at Ophelia and shouted anxiously,

"You!! You are the one who did all this, right?"

His shout was so abrupt that once, everything fell silent.

Then all the men asking for the release looked at the 'weak woman' with different emotions.

Before this all happened, they had nothing but lust towards this 'weak woman' and just wanted to enjoy her, now.

They all have one expression in common... Horror.

They felt this because they almost had no guard up against her, as she is a 'weak woman.'

But, now they also have one of the common questions, which should have been already they should understand,

'Why did this 'weak woman' come to this horrifying forest?

When no one dares to come in the day,

Where is she walking into the forest like a queen in the night?

Why?'

They should be idiots if they didn't understand the basic answer now.

This 'weak woman' knew about them following her, and she deliberately led them into this forest.
