122 A Bad Day (1/2)

Five thirty in the morning as the the sun is slowly rising from the horizon, it's rays piercing through the canopy of leaves. A hooded figure riding in a blazing skeletal horse was slowly galloping towards the house where Leo is staying at.

It stopped just a meter away from the house before it slowly submerged through the shadowed ground, vanishing.

Leo's face was twitching because he felt that someone is poking his cheek, ”Stop it, Amanda” he mumbled as he tried to swipe the finger away but it immediately froze in motion.

Leo's eyes immediately shot open as he immediately rolled forward and face towards the direction where he was sleeping earlier.

Over there, he saw a shivering blonde little girl looking fearfully at him.

”Eh?” Leo uttered a weird sound as he was surprised that the little girl could already got up from her bed when she was just on the verge of dying yesterday night.

”Hey, hey. Don't be afraid. I'm Leo and I just saved you last night, are you finally feeling better?” Leo smiled at her, trying to look as harmless and kind before her.

But what he did just made the little girl edge backwards. Seeing that she was a bit afraid of him, the corner of Leo's mouth twitch when he saw that.

Leo looked a bit gloomy at that so he just leaned back at the wall and looked at his wristwatch, '5:30 am, still early' Leo thought.

Then from out of nowhere, he suddenly got an idea. He opened the system shop and looked through the miscellaneous section until he finally saw what he was looking for..it was a box of yoghurt.

The item was immediately transferred into his Inventory so he pulled over his backpack and acted like he was taking it out from inside along with a spoon and then he looked at the little girl on the bed as he slowly edge towards her and when he was about a foot away from the bed, he stopped and opened the yoghurt and offered it to the girl, ”Here, breakfast?”

The little girl was panicking a bit as her eyes darted from left to right, seemingly confused at what to do.

”Come on, I'm sure you haven't eaten for days now” Leo offered it one more time, trying not to sound forceful.

The little lady was about to shake her head, when suddenly her stomach protested.

Rumble~

Her face suddenly blush from embarrassment, 'What should i do? Should I take it or not? But I don't know him. Mommy said not to take anything from strangers but I'm really hungry and thirsty. I haven't properly eaten or drank anything for three days now since mommy and daddy left' her thoughts were contradicting each other.

But maybe because she was truly hungry, she carefully took the cup of yoghurt from Leo's hand but she didn't immediately eat it. She just keep looking back and forth between the food on her hands and at Leo.

”Come on, I'll go outside for a bit so make sure to eat, alright? After that, we can leave this place together and meet up with my group. Don't worry, as I said before I'm not a bad guy and I'll this bottled water here for you to drink” Leo smiled at her and placed an opened bottle of water in front of her before walking out of her room.

Outside the room.

”Man, kids this days is still so hard to please” Leo sighed to himselfas he picked up the two corpse on the floor before heading downstairs.
