Eps. 40 Oddities

Days passed and time continued to pass. It didn't feel like a year had passed and Orion's real age was now two, but at that age he looked like a seven-year-old.

Every day he still plays with the kids who are there also playing with Ariel. After his age, he went to school just like other small children who also went to school in the city.

In the morning they went to school together. Where there is Orion there must be Ariel who always attached to him like his personal bodyguard.

Although still a child the child already looks beautiful so many other boys who also approached Orion. But they all got out of the way when Ariel came, because the boy must have done something wrong and made the other boys uncomfortable when he was near Orion. And they chose to leave instead of having to be crowded with Ariel.

One hot day during the day the boys came home after school.

“Dong.... dong..” the bell rings and all the students at the school are out in crowds - crowded from class.

Orion used to drop out of the last grade. But just then Ariel entered her class and immediately pulled her hand through the crowd.

“Ariel shouted one of the children who was upset because the child nudged his body while breaking through.

While Ariel just turned around and smiled looking at the child who protested to her and continued and continued to pass while holding Orion away from there.

“Ariel Why are you always looking for trouble with them?” asked Orion who felt his friend was becoming bad.

Again the boy simply smiled at her without saying a word in response to Orien's question just now.

At that time after walking away they did not go home but played for a while and they deliberately stopped at the lake that was around where they were at school.

“Let's sit here..” invite Ariel who directly sits by the lake while putting her bag on the grass.

“You want what... ?” tanyanya while sitting next to Ariel and holding her bag.

“You look and wait... You can accompany me here..”.

Ariel picked up the wood nearby and pulled the rope out of her bag and tied the rope. After that he hollowed the ground and found the worm and took it and tied the worm to the rope.

“blung...” Ariel's voice throws his fishing line into the lake.

Orion sat quietly waiting for Ariel who was fishing. He noticed there were wildflowers growing nearby then he picked up some and tucked into his ear.

“Ariel do I look beautiful now ?” ask the child who is still silent and engrossed himself waiting for his hook in the sambar fish.

“You are so beautiful Orion... You look like a princess.” the speech of the child makes the child happy and his face red.

Suddenly Ariel's fishing rod twitched like someone was pulling it from the inside.

“See Orion... I got a big fish..” he said then pulled it and it turns out he got one small fish.

“Hi hi hi...” The boy only laughed when he saw his friend get a small fish.

Ariel doesn't accept the boy laughing at him and he intends to prove he can catch a bigger fish for him.

“Wait ya after this I will definitely get a bigger fish than this.” he said sure.

The boy made the fish that had just been caught as bait to get a bigger fish.

“See this what I will get later by using this feed.” Ariel threw another fishing rod into the lake.

“Let's just go home..” take her while standing up and take her bag.

But Ariel pulled the boy and asked him to sit back.

“Before a while.... wait for me just a moment..” the door on Orion that makes the child sit back nearby.

Before long the water around his fishing rod looked frothy and felt something pulling the bait and this time it felt heavier than before.

“Orion looks like I got a big fish this time.” he told the boy. He pulled his artificial fishing rod that felt heavy and he was not strong enough to pull it.

Orion felt something strange about the fish that Ariel would catch. He stood up and looked towards the boiling water. For some reason he suddenly smelled a rancid aroma from there.

“Uhh. You didn't kiss her ?” tanyanya and Ariel shook her head because she did not smell fishy like Orion said.

The smell according to Orion is getting rancid. He stood up and got closer in curiosity. Suddenly he could see clearly in the murky water. Not a big fish that snatched the bait earlier but a large long-tailed animal.

The girl immediately retreated and pulled Ariel's hand to take her running.

“Crocodiles.. release your fishing line. Fast !” hysterical shouting.

Ariel who was shocked to hear the boy's scream reflexively took off his artificial fishing line and immediately ran away from the place.

Surely there was a crocodile that came out of the lake while biting the fish he made bait earlier.

The crocodile saw two more prey in front of him and now he was chasing the two children.

“Ariel.. see the crocodile is chasing us here!” orion shouted as he pointed at the Crocodile and hid behind Ariel's body in fear.

“Take it easy... You will be safe with me.” he said calming the child. Though he himself was actually also afraid to see a crocodile that was three times the length of his body.

The crocodile was getting closer to them. Ariel who felt unable to fight the beast immediately pulled Orion and galloped from there.

“Ariel... run fast... or we'll get into the crocodile's mouth !” the boy shouted at Orion.

If they keep running, they will be overtaken by the crocodile. The only way is to fly in the air.

“swoosh ..” Ariel jumped up and flew through the air while extending a hand at Orion. But the boy refused it.

Somehow he wanted to try to learn to fly like Ariel used to do.

“swoosh..” Orion jumped and imitated Ariel's movements that he often saw. It turned out that he could fly in the air like that child.

He doesn't believe in his abilities. According to him, it was because of a coincidence that he could do that because he often saw Ariel flying in the air.

“Wow... you can fly.. let's quickly go from here !” the boy smiled at Orion.

The two of them then shot through the air while looking back at the crocodile that had been chasing them and it turned out that it was now far away from him.

Orion still does not think he can fly, but Ariel is not surprised because sooner or later the little vampire will show his strength.

SERIATE....
