51 Chapter 44 - Malignan (1/2)
”Don't rush me! I'm trying my best!” Medusa nervously screams at the man.
The man shuts his mouth after Medusa yells at him because it is his life or death situation. A second longer that Medusa takes to kill the lion the more danger he will be in; the lion is getting back to its normal form. Therefore, if he continues to give Medusa more and more pressure, the harder Medusa can focus on killing the lion. He doubts that Medusa is a good shooter if she misses and time runs out he will die instantly. It's for his greater good if he keeps his mouth shut, and the worries inside of him.
The lion is getting back up from the damage the man has done to it, and the lion is angrier than before trying to hunt him down. The threat is a step away from him; he can feel his heart pounding like a drum on a rock and roll concert. His sweats mixed with blood are running down from his head like the Negra waterfall. As his short life flashing in front of his eyes, the sound of death is welcoming him. Suddenly he hears a cold and curls loud noise that pulls him back to reality.
”Bang!” Medusa finally pulls the trigger. If anyone asks her, why is her shot so accurate? She would without a doubt answer that person it's because her beginner's luck that saved her and the man.
Just when the lion about to jump onto the man, Medusa nervously pulls the trigger, and the bullet flies through its head and explodes the lion's brain out. Medusa is not a creepy teenage girl that likes gross stuff but watching the lion's brain explodes and the brain plasma flies like a bird out onto her is pleasuring because at that moment she knows, she will not die yet.
Medusa breaths out her exhausting breaths, she vulnerably drops down on the floor. All her energy is drained from the shot she took. The man on the other side is also weak and relief because not only she will get to live once again; he will not be hungry tonight. Medusa is tired and exhausted, she falls asleep right after she falls down onto the floor. When she wakes up, it is already midnight. She has slept 12 hours, but that still didn't seem to help to heal her tiering body back to normal. She still can't stand up properly, her knees are still week like a twig; couldn't support her body to either walk or run. However, the man that got bitten by the lion supposably is way weaker than Medusa is back to full health. He is sitting in front of the fire camp that he sets up and cooking up some meat that he has harvested from the dead lion's body. The man sees Medusa wakes up, then he turns his body facing toward Medusa and asks,
”How are you feeling?”
”Not so good. I'm still tired, can't even stand up!” As an innocent pretty young teen, Medusa is, she spills out her true body statues. In her mind that the man didn't do anything weird to her during her sleep, so she thinks she can trust him.
”Sound good!” The man smirks and said something that confuses Medusa.
”Sound good? How is this anyway good for me?” Medusa quietly said to her.
”Are you hungry? Do you want some food?” The man gently asks.
”Sure! I'm starving!” Medusa didn't think deep into what the man said as soon as she hears there's food for her.
The man takes a piece of lion meat and places it on a silver plate and hands over to Medusa. When Medusa about to receive the plate, the man suddenly takes it back and said,
”The meat is not free though!”
”What! Are you kidding me? I kill the lion, so you can live! In any way you want it to be, I still the owner of the lion's body! Not for free? What are you eve saying!” Medusa angrily yells.
