Its Raining (2)

"Wow, did you clean the cave?"

Daisy had just set down the clay pot when she heard a surprised voice. She turned around and smiled slightly, "Yeah. Doesn't it look better now?"

Leif was surprised by the changes in his cave and he sincerely praised the little female for her hardwork. "You did a great job. It looks amazing!"

Daisy blushed when she heard his compliment, and her eyes curved with delight. She had never received a compliment from someone of the other sex before, and she was overcome with these new experiences.

Leif felt his heart softened as he watched her be happy over simple things. He could not understand why a lovely female like her was abandoned by her tribe.

Their thoughts were interrupted as a loud, low growl echoed through the cave. It was not exactly a growl, but more of a low rumbling noise that could not be ignored.

Daisy felt her face smoking hot and she covered it shamefully. She had been too engrossed in cleaning the cave to remember to eat!

Leif looked away from her and coughed, which replaced his chuckle. "Sorry, i get hungry quickly." He then explained calmly, as if it was him.

Daisy was taken aback by his words and she peeked at him through her fingers.

"You should take some rest. I'll go hunt some food to eat." He stated. Daisy watched him leave quietly and called after him with a red face. "Be careful, don't take too long!"

She touched her beating heart, feeling sweet and fuzzy. Despite being a single dog without a partner in her previous life, she was not a person who knew nothing about the nature of men. She was often a bystander and could clearly tell which man was sincere and which was not.

Leif was the kind of man who had a cold face and a gentle heart. He was so gentle that she could not help but be drawn in.

Daisy pursed her lips, feeling uneasy with these familiar emotions. Back in her world when she was in highschool, she had a crush on a senior for two years.

It was something she had determined to take it to her grave, but a classmate of hers had accidentally come to know about it and spread it throughout the school.

She could still remember how her crush and classmates looked at her. Their undisguised expressions of contempt, disgust and mockery was something that she could not forget even after her scars were healed.

So, even though she was aware of her attraction to Leif, she didn't have the courage to pursue it further.

She absentmindedly rummaged through the corner of the kitchen like place, pulling out the necessary things to prepare a meal.

"Is this an onion?" She mumbled, holding an onion-shaped vegetable with soft red spikes all over it. She wouldn't have guessed it was an onion if not for its pungent odor that irritated her nose.

As she peeled away the outer layers, the pungent smell caused her eyes to well up. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she took a large bite of the onion, "wuuu- even onions exist here!"

Its okay, di! You don't need a man! She cheered up as she chewed on the onion, abusing herself.

On the other side, a large animal that looked similar to an elk was wandering leisurely in the forest, enjoying the rain that had turned into drizzle.

'Snap!'

The elk's eyes snapped up and locked onto the little black snake dangling from the tree branch, its sharp gaze meeting the snake's own unblinking stare.

With a snort of contempt, it raised its tall antlers to their full height, proudly showing off its majesty.

The elk's display of arrogance was met with an unfazed snake, as if nothing could shake its calm demeanor. Not even the threat of a huge beast.

Infuriated by its failed attempt to scare away the snake, the elk was filled with rage. It charged forward, smashing down the very tree that had given the snake its perch, all while preparing to impale the harmless creature with its deadly antlers.

But just as it was about to attack, the little snake opened its mouth, revealing a sharp, hiss that sent shivers down the elk's spine. Startled, it made a shrill chirping noise, almost like a bird's call.

The small snake suddenly grew larger, its sharp scales gleaming with an unnatural radiance that reflected the light around it.

Its golden pupils peered out from beneath its devilish horns, which rested atop its head, and its eyes were filled with malice.

When the elk saw the deadly and terrifying snake, it was instantly terrified. But instead of retreating and fleeing, it adopted a defensive posture and readied itself to fight.

The idea of defeating its opponent made its pupils tremble with both fear and arrogance.

The sky gradually darkened, with thunderous roars piercing the air and rain falling heavily, reducing visibility.

The two animals collided as the sky let out another thunderous roar, signaling the start of a duel. Body to body, they locked together in a brutal struggle.

The elk used its sharp antlers and massive strength to pin the giant snake to the ground. It fought to keep the snake down, its hooves striking with devastating force.

The snake, however, was unconcerned. In brutal response, it swung its tail with great force, breaking pieces off the antlers with a single blow.

The sharp points of the antlers shattered with a crack, producing a gruesome sound that was louder than the rain.

The pain of the antlers breaking reached all the way to the elk's head, and it let out a loud cry of pain that echoed throughout the area.

The snake was not finished yet. It twisted its powerful body around, using its coils to bind the elk's legs and body.

The elk struggled to free itself, but the snake only tightened its grip, gradually crushing the elk's bones and choking its breath.

The sky above the two creatures became even darker, with lightning flashes streaking across the heavens. The elk's whinnies of terror and pain echoed across the landscape, but the snake appeared unconcerned.

It hissed with a menacing delight of satisfaction and pleasure, reveling in the elk's suffering. The elk fought with all of its might to free itself from the snake's grip, feeling as if its lungs were being squeezed out of air.

After struggling to break free for a few seconds, its movements became less forceful and slower before it finally stopped.

It took its final breath while maintaining a look of pain and regret in its eyes.
