mysterious man-chapter 5

Akari wakes up and sees stars up above"OH NO!"she says getting up fast"it's already midnight!?"Akari then runs in a direction that she doesn't know and hopes it leads somewhere toward her village.She stops near a cave and walks in while panting looking around and touching the side of the walls making sure she won't fall or trip somewhere.Her hand then touches something muscular and quicky steps back when she sees who it was...a man with scruffy hair,ripped shorts,dirt all over his clothes and him smirking at her.Akari was very scared after all who knows if this man had a dagger as well or worse possible thing she can think of..."w-what do you want?"the man who looks like he is in his forty's still with a smirk says"what are you doing out here it is pretty scary in this forest."Akari had no idea what to say or do her heart was racing and she was pretty hungry."I am out here doing a good deed for my father who is not well enough for this journey I'm doing,sir."The bandit stopped smirking and ended up hugging Akari"Good child aren't you."She nods yes quickly before asking"why did you hug me instead of hurting me?"The man looks surprised with what he was hearing"Me!?"With adding"hun I'm no bandit or murder I am just poor."Akari looks sorry for him Because she assumed that he was a bad guy on his appearance which her mother told her never to do."sir,do you live by yourself out in the forest?"the man looked at her and starts to frown"yeah,been here since I was a child."Akari looked sad on what he had said and patted his back giving him a warm smile"I'm sorry.. I-um I lost my mother when I was four years old so.." right when Akari said that she looked outside the cave and saw the shadow figure stare at her from a far which happens to startle Akari.She then looks at the man who wasn't there anymore and everything went dark all of a sudden"Leave me be!"shouted akari.it seemed suddenly when Akari went back to reality and ran out of the cave immediately to find that it was morning"what kind of forest is this!?"Akari started to run as fast as she can to another place hoping to find a village or a abandoned home in the forest but came to nothing except trees and nature.she was running out of Hope and wanted to break down in tears until she saw a man walking from a far distance in what looked like a expensive robe and long silver hair.She then started to run after him taking her chances in getting directions from him if he did know how to get out of the forest."Excuse me sir!"said Akari over and over until he turned to notice her "excuse me sir do you know the way out of the forest?"The mysterious man looked at her from below because he was six feet tall and Akari is only five feet tall."hm,well which way did you come from just now?."said the man looking directly in her green eyes"um..well that's the problem I don't remember.."He looked at her still but this time with a playful but serious face "erm, I don't know what to say kitty."Akari shocked watched him walk ahead where he continued to go"Hey!"she then saw him turn around with his piercing light blue eyes at her before walking again Akari was angry and ran up to him "please help me out, I have my father waiting for me!"she says almost ready to cry. "I can't help you,if you don't know where you came in from the forest."said the mysterious man with a calm look.akari starts to cry and looks at the man with hope he would fall for her fake tears"please I need to see my father.."The man stops and stares at Akari scanning her then pinning her to the oak tree next to her."What kind of games are you playing maiden?"says the mysterious man with a serious face.
