Chapter 11 - Cursed Child (1/2)
What were all these useless messages appearing in front of me? I didn't have time to look at them and dismissed them as soon as possible.
I went over to where Amy was lying on the ground. I checked to see if there were any noticeable wounds. Thankfully it looked like Amy hadn't been hurt that bad and had just passed out. I picked her up and put her on my back, I looked around at the other three boys. Gary was still knocked out under the tree. While the other two, I wasn't too sure about their condition.
I only had the strength to carry one more person. If a person was to be left out here on their own, then there was a high chance that a beast would come and feast on you. I had to make a choice about who else to bring with me. I walked over to Gary under the tree.
Even though the two of us had fought with each other, I saw that he risked his life to protect Amy. The other two boys were strangers to me. I picked up Gary and held him in my arms while Amy was on my back.
Walking out of the forest was slow, even though it felt like I had more strength than usual carrying two bodies was hard work. I don't know how long I walked for but my vision was beginning to fade. I kept fighting myself to stay awake.
I had finally exited the forest and entered the village when I could hear someone's voice.
”There some kids over here”
”It looks like they came from the direction of the forest.”
”It must be the missing kids, call their parents quickly!”
The whole village had come quickly to see what was happening, the parents from earlier had come over as well. I put Gary and Amy down gently on the ground.
”Please check if they're okay” I tried standing up and walking off but quickly fell to the floor. All I could hear were the sounds of voices.
”What happened here?”
”I don't know he came carrying both of them from the direction of the forest.”
”What about Bob and Kyle”
”I'm sorry, he was only carrying these two.”
Although I couldn't see clearly who it was a woman started to come towards me. She lifted me off the ground holding me by my collar.
”Where are Bob and Kyle?” She cried.
I wanted to reply, but I was too tired I couldn't move any part of my body.
Suddenly she slapped me across the face.
”You cursed child, this all your fault where are my children”
I couldn't believe what was happening it was obvious where her children where. This women was two scared to go into the forest to find them and was taking it out on me.
Other people started to back up the women.
”Tell her where they are?”
”He was properly the one who took them into the forest”
”The curse is true, look at what happened to these children that were around him”
