Emily, The Mute Girl

Emily, The Mute Girl
Surviving in the Wild


Angrier. That's all Jeremy feels right now. She couldn't take Emily to just leave her. He had to take Emily back into his arms again. Rushing out of Emiky's house, she boards her car, and drives herself to catch up with Emily. Jeremy doesn't care about people screaming or his safety, he drives a car at a fast pace. Reno, the adjutant, who saw it, did not let it go. Quickly he drove the other car and followed Jeremy, after calling on the guards to catch up with them.

Meanwhile, Emily, Alvin and Ferry and their pet, Blacky, are currently on the side of a river. They had passed by the village of Satar, a village neighboring the village where they lived. And now they have to pass through the road that divides the forest to get to the next village. The island has only four villages, and the village of W that Jeremy is currently visiting is the only access to enter the island because only in the village of W that has a port. W Village is also the largest village and the most populated compared to the other three villages.


The plan, Emily wants to go into hiding while in the village of Dangin, the village at the eastern end of the island. Avoid meeting with Jeremy until the man returns to town. However, a few hours ago as they passed through the streets in the middle of the forest, Emily felt deja vu. He felt like he had gone through a road like this before but somehow, and it made his head turn dizzy and spin. So he asked Alvin to stop the speed of the bike. After all, the young man had been riding his motorcycle ever since they left Emily's house, and it was almost five in the morning. Emily knew what time it was because she saw her cell phone. Luckily in the village of Satar, they found a gasoline seller that was still open in the middle of the night, so they did not have to worry about running out of fuel when passing through the forest.


Emily asks them to rest for a while, as she also wants to relieve a sudden headache. Ferry and Blacky, who had been asleep all the way, soon awakened when they felt Emily get off the bike. Alvin looked around. He once passed through this forest, because before he was a permanent delivery at Emily's flower shop, he often drove to customers in the village that was right across the forest.


"We cannot rest on this side of the road. Come on, let's go in there" Alvin said as he pointed into the forest.


Alvin then pushes his bike through a small road covered in grass and leaves, while Emily and Ferry just follow from behind while leading Blacky who continues to wiggle his tail. Emily again felt dizzy and pain in her head, as a shadow of the streets and shady forest appeared in her mind.


'What place is that? The road is like here, but the trees are different. The shadow was also different from the forest that I passed with Jeremy when I returned from the farmer's grandfather's house. So, where is it? Why can it appear in my memory and make my head become ill?' emily thought in wonder.


"We will rest here" said Alvin as they arrived at the riverbank. On the banks of the river lay fresh green grass, soothing the eyes of the beholder.


"Emily, are you okay?" alvin asked when he saw Emily holding her head.


'I'm it's okay. Maybe it's because I'm not sleeping.' Emily's cue.


Alvin looked around. Then walk to a tree and pluck the leaves are wide enough. He then placed the leaves on the grass.


"We just use this as a base" he said.


"I'm okay, Mother. I'm a strong boy." Ferry comforted Emily as she apologized.


"I don't have a problem either. Don't worry, we better rest now because our journey is still far away" Alvin said.


The three of them lay on the leaves that Alvin laid and covered their bodies with clothes that Emily and Ferry brought. Fortunately they still had time to wear a thick jacket before leaving earlier, so they were not too cold. The three immediately fell asleep as they felt tired with their trip. Blacky falls asleep next to Ferry.


Emily woke up the first time. Anyway, he's used to waking up in the morning. Despite only sleeping a little, it was difficult for him to fall asleep past seven in the morning. Alvin awoke when he heard the sound of water. He saw Emily was busy in the river water that was only reaching the knees of an adult.


"Emily, what are you doing?" ask Alvin.


'Oh.. Are you awake?' ask Emily who is possessed by Alvin.


"What are you doing?" Alvin asked again.


'I was trying to catch a fish, ' said Emily.


When she woke up, Emily wanted to prepare something for them to eat, but she later realized that she had not brought any food, and made Emily again condemn her stupidity. The phrase money is not everything may be very suitable to Emily's current condition. He brought some money, but what could he buy or do with his money in the middle of the forest? So when seeing the clear and shallow river water, Emily decided to try to catch fish using one of the clothes she carried. However, not a single fish has been caught since.


"I'll help you" said Alvin then walked into the river.


Alvin stood in the river quietly, watching the fish. Then when one approached him, he immediately caught it very quickly using his bare hands. Emily looked at him in amazement, as she had never before seen anyone catch a fish without any tools. Blacky who saw Alvin get the fish, barked happily, making Ferry wake up from his sleep.


The boy then helps his mother who wants to try to make a fire to burn the fish that Alvin did not catch. However, with Emily's very zero knowledge of living in the wild, they are forced to wait for Alvin again to make a fire. And sure enough, Alvin lit the fire very quickly. Using two stones like the one Emily had only seen on television. Somehow he could tell that the two stones could produce fire. Emily only saw the young man walking around the river and picking up two stones and then swiping the two stones so hard that they let out a fire. Emily wanted to make breakfast for them, but in the end she became the only one left to enjoy what was available.
