Wait for me!

The night was full of joy, enlivened by bickering between Bai Lung and Zhu Lung. It's as if the comments they make will never end even if the night passes and turns into morning.

They sat around the bonfire and ate the food prepared by the men. The food they prepare is no less delicious than the women who make it. Delicious on the tongue and satisfied when swallowed.

Phoenix sat alone in front of the bonfire. While eating what she scooped from the plate in front of her. Her eyes stared blankly at the bonfire. This bonfire reminded her of the dream she had last night.

The fire that devoured all the houses of the profound tribe settlement. She was still ass inwardly who they were, what their relationship with her that she could dream of them and at the end of their lives being massacred by a sadistic and inhumane slayer.

The girl's resigned face, sad, painful face kept appearing in front of her. As if she can feel, what the girl felt. unbearable pain. A miserable and vulnerable death.

Helplessness when she had to watch one by one her family members were killed, and all the settlers massacred until nothing was left. She herself had no better fate. Must accept the shame for a woman whose honour was deprived in front of many people including her family.

Lost in her thoughts. She felt she wasn't just rethinking what had happened to the girl in her mind. But she felt she was present at the scene and the massacre of the settlers happened once again before her. But there is something strange about the flashbacks of the massacre that occurred.

These times he was standing not far from the chief slayer and the girl who was lying weakly on the ground still wearing the clothes of the union of two souls. The chief slayer stood still not far from the girl. looked intently at the girl. thrashing is not clear.

Roaring, sighing, whining with a series of body movements that seem to be raped but there is no one on top of the girl's body, as if an invisible figure did something to the girl, causing her to struggle, struggling to escape from what she was feeling.

Tears flowed from the corners of the girl's eyes non-stop. It was clear that she didn't want whatever was happening to her right now to happen.

From a distance the girl's older brother shouted with dagger's eyes at the chief slyer "What did you do to her, let her go!" he himself tried his best to free himself from the grips of the slayer that had gripped him behind his body.

A scornful grin appeared on the chief slayer's face at the girl's older brother, but his eyes did not leave the figure of the girl in front of him. "Kill them all" shouted the chief slayer to the other slayers.

"NO…" a hysterical voice rang out from the girl lying on the ground, her eyes filled with horror.

And the next second her family was killed one by one until left her alone lay limp helplessly and cried as hard as she could. Sad to lose all of her family and loved ones. Her body trembled very loudly in the midst of her heart-wrenching cries.

She no longer cared about her surroundings. Because the people she cared about were gone. She sank into deep sorrow. Until the words spoken by the chief slyer were not heard by her anymore.

"Now I'm going to make your life die horribly, enjoy your party" shouted the chief of slyer in the midst of the laughter of the other slaughters.

After he finished saying that, one by one the shadows emerged from the body of the chief of slayer. Initially, the figure that appeared was the exact same figure as the figure of the chief of slayer but the next second it turned into another figure that looked fierce and scary.

A figure after a figure appeared and separated itself from the body of the chief of slayer. All of these figures surrounded the girl and prepared to carry out the orders from the chief slayer earlier.

But strangely the figure just stood quietly around the girl without doing anything. And in the midst of the crowd of all the figure, the girl was again moving incoherently, screaming, roaring. as if being raped but even though no one was touching her body at all.

The chief of slyer himself walked away from the scene. On the other hand, the other Slayers continued to carry out their actions, burning, spreading fire throughout every existing house until the fire devoured thirsty, burning away all existing objects.

The flashes that the phoenix witnessed, of a horrific massacre turned into a gloomy morning mood. Where thick clouds cover the sun, as if the sun is ashamed to reveal itself to warm the land that is thirsty for the warmth it gives.

The girl's body lay limp on the ground, still in the same position from the night of the massacre. Who was now drooping without any movement at all because she had just breathed her last from the feeling of anguish that was extremely painful and unbearable.

By the girl's side, the chief slayer sat weakly by her side. He lifted the girl's body into his arms. His body shook, shaking with tears. He swung his body back and forth. As if hoping by doing that the girl at his arms would wake up. but that's impossible. because no matter how hard he rocked her, she still wouldn't open her eyes.

The chief of slyer roared loudly, he said still in his sobs that he was still tightly embracing the girl in his arms.

"I didn't think that the deep sadness that you experienced could make you fall into a deep, sharp and heart-wrenching abyss of sadness. Until that feeling of sadness you can no longer embrace and surrender and embrace death ".

Sobs continued to be heard in between his words which sounded heart-breaking. "I just made an illusion that you feel like you have being raped but in reality is not. I did that only to repay my sadness when you rejected my proposal. I want you to feel the sadness that I feel. I love you more than anything I have even to myself. And I will give you everything you ask for. Even if you want to see my heart, I will open my chest, I will show it and present it to you. Why do you have the heart to do this to me, change your heart and choose another man besides me."

Rain poured down on the earth, as if nature had felt the sorrow of the two souls who were now huddled together. "I came back here with the hope of marrying you and claimed you, because you are mine and mine only. Don't you remember, our childhood was very happy, we played together, even we both promised to live inseparable at that time. And you've always been in my heart since then. but over time, my family chose to move to my hometown. At that time, I did not want to go with them, but my parents said, the settlement is the settlement of my ancestors and that is where I should be. Before I go further beyond the valley, I turn to see your figure which has shrunk due to distance. At that time, I swore, one day I will return to take you as my soul mate who will fill the days until we grow old and die."

The chief of slayer moans filled the barren land that was now only the remains of burning ashes. Until he could no longer contain the sadness he felt. He pulled a dagger from its scabbard that was tied to his waist. "With you not in this world anymore, it means nothing for me to live, just like our promise together, life is inseparable, and I hope even in death is inseparable. Let meet again in the next life, i will make sure i will get to you with all mean, but i will never hurt you again in this way".

With one long breath. Without hesitation, he swung the dagger held in his right hand. Landed right on his left chest. The place where his heart beats was. He pushed the dagger into his chest and stabbed him right in the heart. Blood spurted out of his chest, where he stabbed the dagger. Seconds later he vomited blood from his mouth. And before he took his last breath he shouted, "Wait for me!".

His chest rose up and the next one slowly fell down. His eyes were blurry, he wanted to take one last look at the face of the girl in his arms. As he looked at her sleeping face, he smiled bitterly. At last, his eyes closed and he took his last breath.

His body fell limp next to the girl who was still in his arms. His hands were still holding the girl. Dead.
