CESS!! CESS!! (spray directed to Voltha)
" Mmmhh..... (distant) What is this Brother Vingent? Why sprayed on me?. "
(put it back in the bag) "Ahh... It was a busting solution. That was my recent discovery. That solution will make you invisible for a certain time, and moment. But that does not mean, your existence cannot be touched. "
" Wahh.... So I'm really invisible? Vaaaww... It's cool! (not expecting) You are so great Vingent..... (sparkling) But what is my voice also heard?. " (gazing Vingent)
" Huh, yeah. It's still not developed. So, its use should be careful. "
" Why are we wearing them? "(confused)
(looking towards Voltha) "For a more exciting journey, and.... Also defiant. " (smiling a sigh)
"Hahh?!. "(rash)
Voltha* [What does that mean? What a great trip?... And challenging? (thinking)... What could he mean.].
THE KRAAKK!!... THE KRAAKK!!.... A SREEKK!!
The noise from the darkness of the trees, the right of the cliff sounded like the sound of tree branches being hit by force several times. The two of them were simply stunned into silence, and continued to look in one direction with great vigilance. Vingent pulls Voltha's hand so she doesn't get far from him. She whispered softly.
" That's the show I'm talking about. The one behind it is a wild Monele that is very dangerous. So then.... From here on we will walk in a sluggish manner. If we get caught, there's no guarantee we'll survive. Understand?. " (whispering)
SREKK!!!
The black shadow flashed swiftly, then disappeared without a trace in the darkness. Those who were aware of this, stood by, and stumbled out of the place. They walk slowly, the view should always focus on the road. The journey had already lasted half an hour, during which, they had only rested once.
Voltha who had helped Vingent walk, somehow felt something strange. Vingent looked at Voltha, sure enough, sweat pouring out, plus a pale face as if to tell him that he was not okay.
" Voltha... What was? (stop, worry) Fatigue yes, this is. "(give a bottle of water).
There was no reaction from Voltha. While he tried to regulate his breath. He's still quiet. Voltha received a bottle of water. Yet... When the bottle had not been grasped perfectly, Voltha felt that her body was no longer able to support her weight.
It was as if there were hundreds of large stones weighing down his shoulders. A few seconds later Voltha collapsed. Vingent, who immediately realized it, tried to hold Voltha back, but he remained unable. Because he was resting on one injured leg.
BRUUKK!!..... (Vingent hit by Voltha)
"Voltha!!.... The voltha!! (clap his cheeks) Wake up....! Let's get up!. " (worried)
SREKK!!.... THE KREKK!! (the noise came back again)
Vingent* [HAHH!. (look back and right) There they are.... Lothawat! they have appeared..... (think) How do I get home....? (looking at the sky) The wind is also getting louder night, we can crash into the abyss if we are not careful. And also.... What's with the sky? It looks so dark and dark. There was not even a single moonlight or star in sight, this was not as usual. But judging by its characteristics, I'm sure tonight will be a storm.]
" Voltha.... We'll be there soon, " (carrying him from behind)
WUSS.... WUSSS...(very strong wind).
The weather is getting less and less friendly. The wind blows hard. A place with a dark, sloping terrain like this is a bad thing. Not to mention the situation around the bridge filled with wild Monele who was hunting and guarding.
So that movement is increasingly restricted, on one side must walk on the right carefully, so as not to fall into the abyss. And on the one hand too, Vingent had to keep his pace and voice so that the Monele no one noticed his presence, let alone Vingent carrying Voltha.
Vingent took something from his bag. A small bottle of high-dose painkillers, taken up to three gulps. After taking it Vingent felt that all the pain he felt earlier was no longer felt any more. Soon Vingent was holding Voltha, and a little ran to get out of the territory.
The use of pain medication, especially with high doses will pose a high risk as well. The positive effects of taking the drug, in addition to relieving pain, Vingent also did not feel tired. But other side effects are, loss of consciousness for several days, experiencing migraines, digestive problems to excessive aching, to damage to internal organs.
Vingent continued walking and slightly ran for tens of minutes. Running and running, without caring for himself. And they arrived at the upper city gate. Vingent was very satisfied and also felt relieved, but the journey was not completed until there. After entering it, Vingent slowed down the way it walked. While adjusting the breath that snarls and justifies the position of the sling that is almost loose.
They passed through several houses that were very quiet and minimal lighting. The atmosphere was quieter and quieter than when still in the stormy bridge of strange and terrible sounds. The wind still had not given up on blowing faster. Soon, they finally arrived at Vingent's house.
GECK... GECK... YOK!!! (knocking on door)
" DAD....!! Open door.... It's me Vingent. " (stirring sound)
Silent.... There's no reply
GECK... GECK!!
" DAD!!!... AY... " (disconnected).
Suddenly the door opened, a burly man looked at his son's face with a crooked face. Like a lion chasing its prey.
" OOP!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!!. WHAT TIME IS IT?(UPSET) DON'T YOU HAVE TO GO HOME BEFORE SUNSET? AND IT'S ALMOST GOING TO MIDNIGHT!! And also, look at your face, why can it be all bruised!! Did you fight with. " (can't accept).
" Sister. (weakened voice). "
" Voltha? " (walking in)
" Uh...! Who is Vingent? " (surprised)
"Dad, help me!! (laying it in the living room) This friend of mine passed out on the way. "
" Hooh!! Basic reliable distraction. (walk near Vingent) Don't be here!! Put him in your room first. (pointing) I'll get you medicine. " (go)
" In my Room? Then where do I sleep, Dad? "
" That's it. You can sleep in the living room, or anywhere, whatever, after all you have to respect guests, especially patients. "
" Hm... Okay (sid) "
Vingent held her back and took her into his room. Before long his father came with medical equipment and a basin of warm water.
" Vingents! Tell me first who and where your friend came from, you brought him home, what if his parents were looking for him, Haahh!!. "
" His name is Voltha. He's from the north of Bingla City. I met him at the market. (changing clothes) He got lost in the market and accidentally met me who was beaten again, and he also helped me from some thugs in the market. " (surely)
" Help m?, (while checking Voltha) What's the matter with you until he helps you? You should be able to defend yourself.... Where is your pride when helped by women! " (sniffled)
" How ya.... All my father taught me was theory, not martial arts. (retaliation). "
" Ohh... (close his face to Vingent) Can only defend himself with words apparently yes...! (rubbing his hand over Vingent's head, as if to hit him) Sudaah!! Compress there bruise you with cold water, if you need ice water, so more effect. But first clean the wound. " (seriously check Voltha)
" That means your friend is very good at fighting. To the point that a boy like you can't handle it on his own..... Hahaha (laughs with satisfaction) What kind of man are you.. "
" It's dad!! (dejected). He and I are DIFFERENT!! (changed the topic) But her father wasn't just great at fighting either. But he's smart too. He could even buy the things I needed. Though in mind though he carries a record of groceries, but he also has to choose which one is good right. And also, (take something out of plastic shopping) See this....!! (show the money) The money is only used for a quarter! . "
" Wah... He has the ability and the institution. Means he may have an unbiased background. "(surprised).
Not finished talking Vingent's father was surprised when he saw Voltha's calf that was already bluish red, and in the middle of it like a small needle stuck. He took it slowly with tweezers and put it in a special plastic bag. And see it in detail with a magnifying glass.
(seriously observed) "Hmmpp.... Isn't this the needle mustache of the Shadow-Piercing Wolf?. "
" That's one of the wild Monele on the cliff!!. "
" Iyap is right. This meant that he had fainted not from exhaustion, but from the wolf's attack. "
" How could it be?, we feel not attacked at all! " (sure)
" When the Shadow-Piercing Wolf, feeling that there was no rhythmic movement, he would scatter his fine needle-like moustache in all directions. To protect himself from the danger of the enemy. And in less than a minute, those mustache needles will come back to him. Nah.... From there, if there is one part of the needle does not return. He could confirm that there was an enemy trapped with his attack. " (applying a medicated ointment on Voltha's wound)
" At that time, they must have caught up with you when you moved aggressively. But since you used your homemade solution, you managed to outwit them. But still, the Shadow-Piercing Wolf was a wild Monele that was very difficult to tame and also had very sharp hearing." (explaining details)
" So next time, be careful when you cross the bridge at night. Did you hear that?! (Vingent didn't answer) Oyy!! You understand, don't you, Vingent?! (turn)
His father looked astonished to see his son's radiant face as if to tell 'your explanation is so cool dad' That is.... Vingent spontaneously picked up a notebook, and wrote everything his father had said just now.
