Chapter 2
"Aunt, I am on my way to the forest to get some herbs and wild flowers" the young lady dressed in a sleeveless green gown said.
She was just a simple village girl in the human kingdom. As simple as she was, she had a beauty that felt out of the world. Her golden blonde hair was simply ecstatic and long, falling below her b.u.t.t, with a pair of sapphire eyes, pointed small nose and a pert small red lips. Any man would fall for this simple beauty. The G.o.ds really showered their blessings upon her.
And so she set out into in the forest, singing a simple melody she knew that her aunt sang to her while growing up. The animals loved her, the birds would chirp following her. She got to where she was to collect the herbs and bent to pick them. After an hour of collecting herbs, she kept her basket on the floor under a tree trunk and used her brown shaw to cover the basket and the items in it and left.
"Now time to go get some of those wild flowers, they are simply adorable. Aunt doesn't seem to get enough of these, it makes her happy" she said turning to the birds close to her.
They only chirp more talking to her. "Yes I know, let's go then" and she left with the birds moving deeper into the forest to get the flowers.
About thirty minutes into the walk, they arrive there and the scenery was beautiful, with different colors of flowers.
"Its no wonder humans don't seem to know this place exists, if not they'd have taken you away and perhaps build something here, isn't that right Sebastian?" she spoke to the flowers then turned to a blue bird on her shoulders.
It chirps on and on, seemingly complaining about the human activities and she only nods agreeing with him.
"Well let's not waste
With that, she bends and starts plucking the flowers, while singing her usual song with her sweet melodious voice.
Far off, some men hear the melody and followed the sounds to get to the source, the voice was enchanting, and they had to see who made such melodies that was pleasant to the ears. Off they went and not long after they came upon the maiden. Seeing her there collecting flowers and with her voice singing a sweet song, the men were thrilled and admired her.
"I want her" the leader said to the others.
"We want her as well. She is so beautiful" another of the men spoke softly.
"Haven't had a young beauty in my arms in a while" one of the men spoke while holding his groin.
"I'll have her first, nice and gentle" the last man said.
Carefully they are their way to her, while Sebastian chirps more hopping on her shoulders.
"Oh Sebastian, quiet down, you scare the flowers, I'm almost done and we'll leave".
"You won't be going anywhere ".
Shocked she quickly turns her back only to be greeted by the wicked grin on their faces. They were dressed in their hunting gear, and their heated gaze seemed to burn into her skin like she was some small prey.
"What do you want?" She asked the hungry looking men.
"Nice that you asked" the second man, with thick beards and a fat tummy said.
"We want you, submit without any trouble and we would make it worth the while" the leader said as his eyes roamed all over her body and she shuddered at his intense gaze.
"I don't think so, excuse me I need to leave".
"You are going no where beautiful" one of the men, who seemed to be the tallest one amongst them said to her as they walked closer to her.
"Just be nice Missy and we would make you scream out in ecstacy" the last man spoke while unsheathing a knife from its sheath.
"Let me go, I don't want to be with any of you".
"So pretty and pure, look at those delicious lips of yours, be a darling and submit" the leader of the gang said again.
The thought of being with these men almost her puke. It was so disgusting, she had to flee from this place and run as fast as she could.
She whispered softly to Sebastian, "Find my aunt, or get help quickly" and the bird flew away. She took that as a signal as it distracted them a bit and made for it, she ran with all her strength, but they we're chasing at an alarming speed.
Through trees and twigs, she couldn't give up now and let these men defile her, she was scared like a cat, but she knew better, so she didn't stop.
Running and looking backwards at the men, she didn't notice a tree branch and by the time she turned she hit her head against the branch and fell.
Staggering as she tries to get up, the men had caught up with her, she turns to make a run for it again and was blocked by the tall man, with a dagger in his hand.
"Where do you think you are going?" The tall man asked her. She ignored his obvious question and as the fat bellied man grabbed her by the hands, she kicked him with all her might and he fell down.
She walked back away from them, till her back hits a tree behind. That's when she knew she was trapped, there was no where to run.
"Feisty are we? Get her".
With the command from their leader, two of them lounged for her, while the other she kicked tore at her gown. Feeling despair and helplessness she screams her lungs out, hoping, praying that someone would hear her but no one.
The leader walked up to them and dragged her hair and she screamed even more, scared of what fate awaits her if he continued. All of a sudden, a burst of energy pushes everyone away...
