Somewhere between trouble and Paradise.

I raised my head and instantly regretted it,for my head felt as though it was being dragged to and fro continuously.I felt so dizzy that I couldn't manage to carry the weight of my own head .Therefore I lay back.It was also at that point when I felt a terribly sharp pain in my left leg.It felt as though someone was piercing right through it with a sword.I mourned loudly for this pain was too much for me to handle in silence.I then heard some movements around the room. I tried to get a clear view but my vision was blurred.

"Don't worry,don't stress yourself...lay back and relax"

Hardly had I heard those words than I felt a cold cloth being placed on my head and below my aching leg,this gesture put me at instant ease.The pain I felt now faded away slowly.I felt my eyes closing steadily...I needed some rest.

After I woke up,I felt much better though my head still ached.The pain in my legs was still the same and I wondered what had happened that left me in that state.I could not even make any movements with my left leg,I felt paralyzed.I closed my eyes in pain...while my eyes were closed,I could see myself running..I ran as though I was being chased.Before long,I fell into this pit and my leg landed on a spear.I panickingly opened my eyes and realized what had happened to me.Where was I?...had Mr Monde caught up with me?. I suddenly felt a surge of panic...I felt breathless.

Death was way better than being in the hands of that demon.At this point I was convinced that Mr Monde had found me therefore I tried to get up so I could free myself yet again.Mungole would be so disappointed in me for not running far enough.My eyes were now swollen with tears and I let them out gracefully. I cried not only because I was in the hands of the predator again but because I had faced all those hurricanes for nothing. I had slept in the forest for nothing and even came face to face with a demon for nothing...I was so depressed I cried even louder.

"why do you despair?"

I instantly raised my head when I heard these words.I saw a tall and masculine figure.The moment I looked at him,I longed for the ground beneath me to open up and swallow me.He was the most handsome being I had ever set my unfortunate eyes on.He gave out a simple smile and I almost died.His smile convinced me that heaven was missing an Angel.Why was I crying?..I felt so embarrassed,he must think I am such a fool.

Surely he had noticed that I was staring at him,atleast he could not hear my thoughts..they were safe in my head.

He came closer and sat on the stool near the little bed were I lay.He tried placing his hand on my leg but I mourned with pain and he quickly withdrew it.

"My name is Zilo,I am the most successful and respected hunter in these areas''

I thought to myself that he was quiet pompous indeed.My grandmother always told me that one ought not to speak highly of themselves...let others praise you on your behalf.

he went on...

"I found you bleeding nearly half to death in a trap I had set.I knew this was my fault therefore I took the task of taking care of you upon myself..I hope you feel better...do you mind telling me about yourself?"

....How could I possibly tell him about myself when I too did not know.Who was I?,I also did not know.I just stared into his navy blue eyes...very expressive indeed.

"its alright..I understand you must have been through a lot,whenever you need anything,I will be at your beck and call"

Heaven was surely on my side.First I had Mungole and now Zilo the handsome hunter...I felt really lucky indeed.Even though I was in pain,this thought filled me up with so much warmth.My lips curved into a smile...maybe my life was not so bad after all,I just needed to view it from another perspective.
