Chapter Five

CHAPTER FIVE

Still pretending to sleep, the man suddenly opened the blanket! No, i'm busted!

"I knew you're awake. Get up and drink coffee." He coldly said. I raised my eyebrows.

"H-Hey, where am i?" I asked, trembling. I knew this is not fine. I'm afraid and really really scared. 

"You're in the woods." The man answered. Right, one question equals one answer. 

"W-Who are you? Why am i here? And why there is a modern house in a freaking mountain inside the woods?!" I asked him, continously. He stared at me with no reaction. "I'm Lohrton. You're here because you lost conciousness behind my house. Because i wan't a quite place." He answered.

What the freak! He doesn't have the sense of humor! 

"The coffee is in the table, sip it." He offered. I guess? "Thank you." I said.

He nodded and sat on a white chair while sipping his coffee and staring at the window. "Those who attacked you," He suddenly said. "They are reckless cold-blooded moron in this mountain so you gotta be careful." 

I almost choked. So that means he's not the only one in this mountain? 

"L-Lohrton," I called him. He looked at me and making an eye contact saying 'what?'. "How can i get back on my team? You know, i'm a hiker and---" He cut me off. "You can only get back on your team if they reached this place. You can't go back to them because this mountain is too wide and there are some creatures here that you don't want to meet."  

I sighed. Guess that they need to find me and take efforts just to see me. "C-Can i stay here for a w-while, p-please?" I suddenly spoke.

"Sure, you can. But there are few rules." He said then make his way through the kitchen. I don't know why, there's something with this man that i'm not comfortable with. There's something wrong.

I got up from the bed and put the mug in his kitchen. The kitchen is so mesmerizing and beautiful. Too modern. "Take your sandwich in the oven." He suddenly said. "Oh sh*t!" I almost had a heart attack because of his presence! 

I accidentally dropped the mug that cause it's fracture. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I was just startled by your sudden appearance!" I said hysterically while picking the broken pieces of mug. 

With a reckless hand, my finger was prickled with a sharp piece of the broken mug. "Ah! Goddamn it, Felicity!" i exclaimed.

"Sh*t," I heard him whispered. Then he handed me a bandaid and dibbed it into the bleeding part. "Don't pick those nasty pieces and just sit." 

I did what he said, i just sat in a chair and watch him pick those fractured pieces without getting hurt or prickled. How can he be that so fast?

He immediatly put away those pieces and head back inside again. "Next time, don't hurt yourself. It's a waste of time." He said and brought the heated sandwich and gave it to me. 

"Thank you, Lohrton. And i'm sorry for being reckless that resulted in breaking your mug." I apologized to him. 

"No worries. It's just a mug," He answered. "Eat the sandwich." 

I started to eat the sandwich he gave and quietly consume the taste. It was a grilled cheese sandwich and it tastes really good. After eating the sandwich, i put the plate into the sink, carefully this time. I walked for a little while and saw Lohrton standing in the front door. Maybe ventilating himself. 

"Hey Lohrton," I called him. "Is there any signal here that i can use so they can track me?" 

"Nothing. There's no signal in here." he answered shortly. I nodded and get out to ventilate myself too. A lot happened yesterday until now and i can't take it easily. I just can't believe that i'm lost and cannot be found because there's no signal at all or any thing i could use to track me. I'm scared. 

My eyes suddenly felt sadness and tears started to flow out of my eyes. It hurts, seeing myself lost in a woods with some scary sh*ts out there that makes a hard way for me to come back. But there's a hope. It's Lohrton. 

I know he can do something that can make me go back to the place i belong. To the place where is my team at. I hope he can help me. But still, i can't trust anyone in this place but myself. I know to myself that i am weak. I am not that strong to handle the things that are happening to me right now. 

"Don't cry. Crying means weakness." Lohrton spoke. I faced the ground, i saw droplets of tears in the dry leaves. Lohrton is right, crying means weakness. I turn myself to him. He can see me crying. He's the first man who ever saw me crying. I hate this. 

"Sorry. I just can't take the events. It's too hard for me to understand that i'm lost and no one can find me here," I said. "But i'm hoping that maybe i can get out of this place without getting hurt. I'm a crybaby, i'm sorry." 

I took a deep breath and sighed. It's useless after all. 

"Okay," He spoked. "Just nevermind these things happening." 

I nodded and get in at his place. It's 12:00 nn and it's time for lunch. Lohrton made some vegetables and some white rice. "Here's the lunch, don't find anything else because it's all i've got." He said and start eating. He also made orange juice. "It's fine, i'm not a VIP guest here. I'm just a lost woman in the woods seeking for some help haha." I joked. He has no reaction, just like before. 

All i can tell, he is weird. A cold man, with a kind heart? Maybe. 

I wish that i can handle myself for too long. Just like before.
