Chapter 77

Zenovia

My eyes roamed around nervously and I waited for a reply, but there was silence.

Had I imagined all of it? Definitely not.

So I tried again.

“I… I just wanted to thank you for the help. Thank you for saving me,” I said and then a soft voice replied to me.

“Do not mention me to anybody”

It seemed to reach my ears from behind. I turned around so fast that I felt I had snapped my neck. But the direction from which the voice had come was devoid of any living being.

All I could see were leaves and branches. Why was this person playing hide and seek with me?

“B-but why are you hiding from me? I…I am not going to harm you,” I offered. I knew I did not look like a scary predator, but I could not understand what this person wanted from me.

The voice let out a deep, rumbling laughter. “You cannot harm me, but the people around you can and will”

The voice was speaking mysteriously, and I felt all the more intrigued.

“What people around me? Who will harm you?”

The voice seemed to be of a female, but I could not quite ascertain the age of the woman based on just the voice alone.

When I did not receive an answer, I asked again.

However, instead of answering me, I received a question.

“What is your name?” The woman asked me instead, though she was still hiding from me.

At least she was talking. Maybe she was just being cautious. But since she helped me, I decided to be honest.

“My name is Zenovia. What is yours? And why are you here in the forest? What were those vines?” I asked, but the woman dodged my questions yet again.

The voice seemed to echo through the forest, not letting me trace it back to the location of the speaker who was lurking in the woods. At one point it seemed to come from the right, at others from the left, as if the speaker was circling me.

Though how she was doing, it was a mystery to me.
