Chapter 5

In the middle of the night, a young man ca see outside the home where they live only temporarily.

 It was behind the house where the woods were, it seemed that he could see someone following a voice in his ear that seemed to echo and did not silence him.

 "You will never be happy." This is the word whispered to him following the laughter of that one.l

 Anger started to trigger in his brain so he went out because that silence did not calm him down. He spun around while holding his head and was pulled out by it, then his intention changed to a furry appearance as his nails on his hands and feet began to grow, his body shape changed from its normal state and then the tail that was about to touch the ground with its length, his eyes flashed before he looked up.

 The young man seemed to lose his senses and ran into the forest, he noticed a wild animal that caught his eye. A ferocious wild boar, he began to attack him even if the other side fought back, in the end he had no escape from the speed of the wolf he was fighting against and in an instant it seemed that he had become dinner for that werewolf.

 As he caught it, he inhaled a familiar smell not far away, it was the smell of the girl who was helping them, he didn't even remember it but he followed that smell and flew up, there he saw the girl who seemed to be looking for someone. This creature was appalled by what he saw but when he was right in front of the girl it seemed that he could not act on whatever evil plan he had in mind.

                                      —

 "G-Gavin?" Zera said stammering, hse could feel her body trembling.

  The wolf didn't answer, and walk around to Zera before smelling her, Zera was trembling at what could happen to her by chance.

 "W-what are you doing?!" He stammered in emphatic words. Because of his pressure, the creature stopped before it stared into her eyes again.

 It was as if they were looking at each other and at that time the girl's body calmed down a bit as if his eyes calmed her down.

 "Zera?" Her soul as is it wanted to separate from her body when she heard that from not far away.

 Her eyes widened as she stood up and didn't remember the fear even though the creature was right next to him.

 "A-Alice what did you do here." Zera suddenly came out of a corner where they had been standing earlier.

 "I heard you scream so I got worried," she said before looking around. When her eyes landed on Zera's back, Zera rush to move to block it.

 "Ahh, I'm just surprised that Mrs. Santos almost fell because I might get scolded, but it's okay that I caught it," he lied, while smiling. Alice didn't notice that she was lying because of the darkness surrounding.

 The girl nodded. "That's right. Be careful because there was a story a while ago that there was a crazy dog ​​wandering around and you might get bitten. Come in too," he said. Zera forced a smile back and that's when the girl said goodbye and entered. When Alice entered, Zera breathed a sigh of relief and faced the creature she had seen again, but when she faced it, she did not see it again.

 "Hello wolf? Are you still there? Gavin?" When she called but there was no one there, she decided to go in thinking that zhe was really losing her trance because she mistook the man with them for a wolf.

 Before Zera could even open the door, a violent pull brought her in front of her and her eyes widened when she saw the man she was looking for just now.

 "G-Gavin?!" It's a stuttering call. SHe looked down and it was as if her whole body lost blood and it all went to her face when she saw the young man. She violently pulled her hand back.

 "What the hell?! Get dressed! And w-" the young man covered her mouth to stop her from shouting.

 "Can you be quiet lowly girl," he whispered with a stern expression. Zera was silent for a few seconds..

 "Let's talk," he said before pulling her downstairs. Zera no longer screamed even though she wanted to spanked the man who dragged her away from where she lived.

 With each pull, they only got to the back of Mrs. Santos' apartment where she first saw the two.

 "Let go of me," said the girl calmly before she sighed. It seemed that in an instant the fear that she felt just before disappeared.

 "You didn't see anything and it shouldn't have reached anyone especially the princess," said the young man with his deep voice and heavy words. Zera could feel the fear when she heard his tone but she tried to look calm.

 "Give me a reason and so that I don't tell anyone what I saw, who are you? I don't wonder why you're in that state because you said you're not from here. Can I trust you? Won't you kill me if I will still make you stay in my house?" She asked one question after another because of what she discovered made her even more afraid of her condition.

 "I can hurt you at any time but I know it will not please your majesty, even if you ask I don't need to say the reason I just want you to be quiet and forget what you saw," he said. Zera stared into his eyes to observe the colors of his eyes flashing. In its beauty, he seemed to read an inexplicable emotion but she didn't pay much attention to it and then she took a sigh.

 "What's in exchange for my silence?" She asked. Even though she could feel her knees shaking in fear of the young man, she wanted to keep calm.

 The young man thought about it and looked around even though the woods were still dark for him he can see ut clearly, but after a few minutes of thinking, he couldn't say anything about what would be in return.

 "You say what you want and I'll do it without complaint but just make sure you keep your mouth shut," he said threateningly. Zera couldn't help not to roll her eyes because she had noticed that the young man keep threatening her.

 Just like him, the girl also thought after this, her memory returned to the past where the first incident was how she ended up in the place where she lives now.

 "Ate Maila where's Najii? I can't find him in his room it's already 7 in an evening," said the girl when she entered the kitchen. Overtook some maid who were busy with their tasks.

 Their maid who he asked was in front of them.

 "Miss Nezzera didn't your parents say that they took your brother on the outing? Someone picked up young master Najii here earlier," she said. The girl frowned because she wasn't even told that they were going on such a trip and what's worse, she wasn't taken with them.

 "Okay, thank you," she said with bitterness in her voice. It seems that her parents really don't want her anymore and even in family bounding they don't take her with them.

"What hour they get Najii here I really want to get him to the amusement park," she said, she already make a promise to his little brother they she will bring him there at this days.

"They took him at 3:00 pm Miss Nezzzera but Master and Mistress already told me to prepare dinner because they will arrive in 7:30 pm." Zera just nod before gulp she can still feel it inside of her even she keep pretending that she's ok but the truth is she's not.

After a few minutes of thinking, Zera decided to leave their house and go to her car to think. She decided to entertain herself and go to a place where she could think freely.

 It's only a few kilometers away from their home, a place where the mountains are on the side of the road and in view but he can't see it now because it's night. Even so, he doesn't feel afraid because there are still people there, lovers who want to chill, riders who are the same reason for going there.

 The wind brushed against the girl's skin as she savored it to make medicine for her bitter feelings.

 "Is it that difficult to make me be with them or include me in their way? Am I bad already in their eyes like that? But if they can make Najii happy, that's enough," he whispered while still looking straight ahead. Her hands are crossed and she is standing just following the wind blowing her body and blowing her hair.

 In the world she lives in, she can feel nothing more than concern for her younger brother, this is the important person she has in her life.

 The girl stopped in her thoughts when she felt the vibration of something in her pocket, only then did she realize that someone was calling her cell phone. She reached for it before answering the call.

 "Hello who is this?" She asked, because she didn't know the caller. He only answered this in case she had something important to do because her father's secretary usually contacts her at various numbers.

 "Nezzera your brother is on my hand." A baritone voice spoke on the other line. The girl frowned at what she heard following the gradual change in her heart rate.

 "Stop prank calling me, who is this?" it said, while pretending to be calm. She looked around and realized that she was alone in that place which added to her nervousness.

 "I'm not pranking you Nezzera. If you still want to see your brother in a month you need to go away from your parent. Never contact them and I will bring your brother back without any bruise," that person said, following a scary laugh. The girl's fur rose and she didn't know if she could believe it. Because of what she heard, she immediately hung up and quickly ran into her car and drove it back to their home.

 When she arrived, her knee was shaking as he presse against the doorknob, but later she had the strength to stand up and open the door there. Found her parents standing in front. Their faces could not be painted following the very quiet surroundings, the maids were bowing as if they had committed a sin.

 When Zera's parents sensed the girl's presence, they seemed to revive and their expressions changed as they looked at Zera's side and did not even look at her. Their expression returned to before and it was filled with even more fear when they saw nothing.

 "Zera someone call us where did you bring your brother?!" A shrill cry from her parents seemed to stop the movement of her world.

 The young man was stunned while watching the girl who was stood like a stone and had a faraway look but he was even more stunned by the tears that gradually poured into her eyes.

 "Hey, lowly girl why are you crying?" The young man asked. His face was filled with irritation at what he saw but just now he saw a woman who cried without showing a expression because he was stunned to see the girl while the tears were falling as if she was tired of crying so her tears were falling on their own.

 Zera got back to her sense and wiped her tears at the same time she sniffed and pretended to cough. The young man frowned even more as he watched the girl. He didn't know why his first expression to the girl was not good, maybe because she behaved very differently from the princess or even the women in their world.

 "Let's get back. You're right there is a condition. I want you to find my brother in the hands of the person who threatened my life."
