2 Friend or fore

Jin stayed two more days in the village and buried his mother and other villagers to have them rest in underground so wild animals won't eat their bodies. When Jin was ready and about to leave the village, he noticed some one riding a horse towards him.

"Hey. What happened to the village!" The one who came whit the horse was soldier.

"E-everyone died to sickens" Jin was scared, soldiers were not friendly whit villagers and they sometimes sold wanderers as slaves.

"What?" Soldier asked Jin whit smug smile as if Jin was just bag of coins.

"C-can you help me?" Jin already know, that soldier won't help him. He was sick who would help sick if you have high change of dying.

"W-what did you say, sickness?" The soldier was sweating buckets.

"Yes, would you be as kind as take me whit you to nearby town?" At this moment Jin was just fu*king whit the soldier.

"I-I would, but I have friend whit me and my horse can't carry 3 people" As the soldier was talkin he was already moving.

'Were should I go. I can't enter any of the towns or villages, I might be sick myself can't have others die because of me.' As Jin was thinking he started move in random direction hoping to find place to stay.

-two days later

'I don't have much food left. Should I try hunting? No no I can't hunt I'm only 8 years old.' As Jin was now reaching forest area he was thinking how to get food he doesn't have much and can't last long.

"Hey!" Jin heard a man shouting at his direction.

"Hello, are you talking to me?" Jin answered to old looking man walking towards him.

"What are you doing so close to the forbidden forest, and you are so young. You should go back home, or your mother will be sad" Old man scolded Jin.

"Oo, who are your old man?" Jin was little bit sad when the old mand mentioned his mother but didn't say anything about it.

"Haha, my name is Wasaki what is yours?"

"My name is Jin. What are you doing here?" Jin asked the same question what the old man asked.

"Nothing really, I am just original traveler. But why are you here, it's said that evil dragons lives that forest you shouldn't go there. There aren't even any animals to eat" Old man Wasaki warned Jin not to go into the forest.

"But first I have to warn you, I come from village in north, there was terrible virus and every one expect me died so you shouldn't come too close or you may get sick too" Jin told were he come and warned the old man not to get too close.

"Haha. There is not virus I can't cure" Old man Wasaki claimed laughing.

"WHAT? Then can you cure me?" Jin started to get hopes up. Maybe this old man can save him. But he was still cautious of the old man if he had any hidden meanings whit that.

"I can, let's see" Old man Wasaki come closet Jin and put his hand at Jins forehead to see if he had fever.

"Humm. You don't have fever, but I need to check your pulse" Old man took Jin's hand and checked his pulse.

"I don't see anything wrong whit you, you should be healthy" Jin couldn't believe what the old man said, how can that be he was not sick at any way.

"But I need to keep eye on you, so you won't get sick after wards. If you want, you can come whit me." Old man Wasaki said whit gentle smile.

"Ok, I will follow you for day or two" Jin wasn't trust the old man much but still agreed.

"Then, follow me to my camp it's close by, if we leave now, we will be there before sunset" Wasaki pointed some into east.

"OK, let's leave now I don't like dark" Jin again acted as child just because he was hungry and thought that Wasaki would give him something to eat.

"So, how old are you Jin?" Wasaki asked as they walked.

"I just had my 8 birthday…" Jin told while having tiers falling.

"What happened, you don't seem happy?" Wasaki was now curious why was Jin crying, what hapend.

"That's the day my mother died" Now Jin was in full tiers, he remembered what his mother told him and tired to stop crying but it didn't work.

"I'm sorry you had to remember that."

Jin and Wasaki continued walking whit out saying anything until Jin could see Wasaki camp.

"Not too big not too small" Jin said out load.

"Haha. Of course, after all I am lone traveler. Are you hungry I have dried meat over there?" Wasaki showed back beside wooden log.

"Yes please" Jin said happily.

"I will make fire to warm our self's, it will be cold night" Wasaki moved towards fireplace and started to make fire using stones.

'Right there is no lighters in this time. But why is it cold at night, when I slept last night it was not cold alt all' Jin was thinking hard why Wasaki said it was going to be cold night but stopped thinking it as Wasaki had already maid fire.

"Come here Jin let's eat" Wasaki gestured Jin to come sit down and eat.

As Jin was finishing eating he looked at Wasaki about to say something but stopped.

"W-What is happening" Jin was not feeling good, he couldn't move. He was paralyzed.

"Hahahaa. You kid really think I would help you." Wasaki was laughing like madman.

"I know you were seeming scheming" Jin said whit weak voice.

"Hoho, so you know, but you still ate the food I gave you. It was covered whit paralyzing poison. It's not lethal but you can't move for 6 hours" Wasaki looked happy wen he told that to Jin. He was just another maniac.

"B-but why did you use poison." Now Jin was scared and curious. Why use poison when you could have just taken him whit now problem.

"Where is the fun in that? Now I will show you were the rest are" Wasaki said whit horrific smile.
