A Forbidden Name- Part 5

I am at the end. But I'm not alone.


I walk to the vast open area which is bathing freely in the sunlight. Its so peaceful. There is a big coastline under which a vast stretch of a lake spreads far and wide. I turn around to see so many types of bushes and tree shrubs sitting and standing tall.
There are flowers of lavender and white roses and red tulips. Its so...beautiful.

I feel like to run after such a bad encounter. I step off shoes and place my feet gently on the alive and breathing grass.

Am I choking them? I shouldn't think of that. Lol.

The grass is colder than the breeze blowing out here.

I sometimes feel that there are so many beautiful words to describe a lively feeling.

A turn around again to check if there's someone else or not but there isn't. Just me and the trees. Its good.

My Jellies shoes are left behind as I take a leap out and into the wind. I start to run and as fast as I can. I start laughing out of nowhere and spread my eyes wind and large as I sprint around the small globe of this area. As I continue running in a circle around the back of the entrance I find that the area is bigger than expected. It takes me longer to reach the starting point and as i do I stop and thump my hands on my knees, grasping for air as I smile and straighten my back to feel the beautiful aura around me.
This is the best feeling ever.

Out of breath, I lay down on the grass and stare at the sky for minutes before I knew I had dozed off to the sleeping world.

-

A rustle in the bushes can be heard. Someone's....stuck. Its coming from the right side. I can hear it.

I open my eyes and to my horror, honestly because I've never spent a night alone outside in an unknown area.
The sky is dark and the sun has set. The moon spreads out his long shiny white cloak onto the earth. The garden is glowing under this moonlight.
I should leave for the dorm.

I get up and in the process realize that I've got cramps in my legs. That was actually the first time I've ever ran so fast. In my life.
Anyways I get up and take a look around the garden. Its so silent.
I hurry to the Cliffside bordered with a big marble railing to prevent riding off the ledge and see the breathtaking view of the lake. It's so good. So good. So good.
This is the first time something so unnatural has happened to me.
Probably because I didn't use to go out much. I didn't have friends btw back then and now I don't care.

I continue to stand and stare when I hear it.
There was a rustle right? Someone's rummaging through the garden or stuck in the woods?

I look around once again for the voice and its coming from the back side. Should i go? I don't know.

Suddenly someone's groaning in pain.
"Ahh"
Its not loud but not faint for my ears being here. Its a boy. I can recognize the voice gender.

I slowly walk to the back side of the garden. I don't know how to feel about it.
Maybe scared or..curious?

I reach the side and I think he doesn't know. He keeps groaning and I move swiftly to see where he is. He is crouching at the front of a bush clutching his left leg. Maybe his left leg is stuck.
I can't see enough in the moonlight but I can tell the color of his hairs. They are black and, and, and idk. Maybe they are black just because of the night drape.

I should help.

I call out, is my voice shaking? I guess.
"Are you hurt? May I help?"

He quickly looks back and grows stern to find someone where he is. Is he angry? He isn't shocked, I can tell for sure.
I stay put and stare if he'll say something but he doesn't and looks again back to where his leg his hurting.
I don't know if i should go near. This is so rude. People shouldn't ignore someone who's just trying to help and nothing else. I dont want anything from him, obviously. I've made up my mind.

I turn and start to walk away. But you know they call out when they need it.

"I need some help here." He says following with a sigh.

I proceed to his place and understand the situation right away. I've been in this one before.
His leg is stuck on a bear trap. So damn painful. Pain of the type out of the world.

I manage to pull the sides apart and his leg is out of the trap but so...bloody. I guess he's been stuck in here for longer. So bad for him honestly.
He stays on the ground and i get up to leave.

"Thankyou." He says clutching his legs and without looking at me. Rude personalities.
"Welcome."

I wait for a while there and I dont know why. Maybe its just that I feel sorry for him. His leg is bleeding badly and I don't think i should leave.
So I did something.

I pulled out my handkerchief from my pocket and then, its a big one so don't worry, I went near him and slapped his hands away from the wound, making him jitter a bit and feel offended, but i wrapped his legs around the wound and did it anyway.

He's looking at me. Like he's never seen someone doing anything for him before. Maybe he doesn't knows love. Like me. Maybe.
I pat his wound and say looking into his eyes which are a bit hidden in the dark- "you can give it to me back in literature class on Monday."

He nods in the dark.
"Thankyou, though." He is still looking at me but I am not sure where his eyes are focused on me. I guess we both can't see each other and, that's...I don't know what.

"But I can't see you clearly right now."
I know he meant 'I won't be able to recognize you'.

"I am the one with red, wolf cut hairs."

And i leave. Without looking back.
