Chapter 4 Your Death

• Delilah started to walk and an unknown fear was eating her alive.
• She forgot to tell that old man about her seeing the beast.
• She was afraid of him. Who knew when he would come after her again just like last night?
• 'I am still confused about how he did not harm me. I clearly saw his blood thirsty Orange eyes. Is he blind at night? I hope so.'
• She thought and focused on her way.
• Suddenly she heard a loud growl.
• "AAAAH..." She screamed but put her hands over her mouth. The growl echoed through the whole forest.
• She shook her head in fear. She ran as fast as she could. Tears streamed out of her eyes.
• 'He will eat you alive.'
• Naomi's words kept chanting in her mind.
• She saw a little light in the dark forest. It was like a hope for her.
• But it was far away from her. She made her way to it, avoiding the loud growls.
• The growls stopped when she closed the light. She thought the beast was following her and would kill her.
• Unexpectedly her right hand was caught by someone and she screamed,
• "No, No. I don't want to die." She cried and struggled.
• "What are you doing here?"
• She heard a familiar voice.
• She looked up and saw the familiar face. It was the man who she met in the morning.
• Delilah's eyes widened and she hugged him in fear.
• "Please please, save me. The beast is after me. He will kill me."
• She felt warmth in his chest. But it was not time for thinking that. They were in a life and death situation. Anytime they would get killed.
• The man grabbed her arms and pushed her.
• She controlled her steps and looked at him. She could see that he was somehow angry. 'Is he angry because I hugged him? Why did I do that? I should not have done that. But I am very scared.'
• "Didn't I tell you to go back?"
• "I don't have anywhere to go." She mumbled and lowered her head.
• Tears kept rolling from her eyes. She did not want to show him that. She immediately wiped her tears.
• The man was silent so she glanced at him.
• He was glaring at her. 'How can he be so cruel?'
• "Who sent you here?" He asked with an aggressive tone.
• "N-No one."
• He stepped closer and she stepped back. "Really?"
• She nodded her head and was frightened to look into his eyes. He was furious.
• He grabbed her jaw. "How did you get this way and come here?"
• Delilah stared at him. "Th-The o-old g-grandpa.."
• He furrowed his brows. Delilah watched his expression carefully. She did not want to make this familiar stranger angry.
• "Old man?"
• "Yes, he told me to come here."
• He nodded at her and stepped backward.
• "If you want to die then it's your wish." He said and strolled ahead.
• She saw he was also going toward the lights.
• She followed him behind. She did not want to be alone where the beast was coming to hunt her alive.
• He stopped. "Don't follow me." He muttered and made his way where he wanted to go.
• Delilah kept crying and stared at his back. 'What can I do now? Where will I go? There is no one who can help me. I will get killed tonight by the beast.'
• She looked down at her legs. Her shoes had gone. She walked so fast all day long that her shoes were torn and gone.
• Her legs were bleeding because of the thorn in the ground.
• Her dress was long but very thin. Dirt was here and there in her dress.
• He felt homeless. 'Should I think about death?'
• She felt shivering. She did not know why. Was it because of the chilling air or the fear of being killed by the dangerous creature?
• Her throat felt numb and her head was hurting. She was feeling dizzy again.
• "Mom, I don't want to die because you told me to live long. I promised you to live long." She murmured.
• She tried to take a deep breath in the cold dark night but the air was so cold that she felt frozen.
• Her eyes slowly closed and she fell to the ground. She lost her consciousness.
• —
• When she woke up, she felt something warm wrapping around her. She felt the heat and pulled it more to her body.
• She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.
• It was made of wood. A few yellow lights were set up on the ceiling.
• She yawned and turned her head to the other side. Her eyes widened.
• She sat up immediately. She was laying on the couch all this time. In front of her was a single couch and a man was glaring at her with his dark black eyes.
• "Y-You?" She stuttered.
• "How can an Omega come here? Who gave you the courage to come inside the forest? Where are you from?"
• He asked her a bunch of questions.
• She looked at the small scars on his face. With the light, she could see him properly.
• He looked really powerful with his aura and his broad shoulder. She had never seen a man like him before.
• They met thrice today.
• Was he the one that the old man told her about?
• "Why are you not answering me?"
• "I-I was in the f-forest. Did you take me here?" She asked and looked around.
• It was a two-story wooden house. It was small but enough for living.
• There was no decoration but only pure furnished wood everywhere. The furniture was exceptional, it had an open kitchen too.
• She could see the forest from inside. She remembered the lights in the forest. 'So those lights were coming from this house?'
• Her eyes fell on the man again. He looked mad as if he would kill her if she did not answer all his questions.
• Delilah was bewildered about him living in the middle of the forest without any fear.
• "W-Who are you?"
• He did not take the time to reply.
• "Your death."
