(Chapter-24)

It was about 10:00 A.M, Diana was dropped down in the basement since two hours ago, when the animal attacked on the house, now she was coming in the senses again. She feels heavy pain in his back.

Being a girl she was unable to face the situation, she was dishearten and knows she will be die as well like others, if she could not escape from this house as soon as possible.

Suddenly the growl of the animal has come from the upper side of the house, Diana alerted at once.

After about fifteen minutes she can understand that the animal was still in the house but may be in the courtyard.

She was trying to feel around in the dark with his hands, and after some moments she finds match box which she already had seen during the last visit of this basement.

She lightens the candle and climbs on the stairs carefully step by step.

She had stopped when she reached the top of the stairs; she opened the door of basement a little bit carefully.

She saw there were bodies of her mother and mother of Smith, she was trying to hear the growl of the animal, when she get confirmed, she gets out of the basement, but she was so scared be there among the dead bodies

She was in the room she doesn’t want to see outside the room, as she knows there will be the animal.

She was not in a position to decide that what to do now.

She decided to escape from here when the animal had gone, in the mean time she returned with sadness again into the basement.

After about one hour the growls of the animal had disappeared, she was thinking to get out from basement again so she could escape, at the same moment, she heard voices of footsteps, she gets alerted, and waiting to know who was out there.

After some moments she heard somebody was weeping nearby corridor, she can recognize that voice, this would be Smith. She grumbled and ran towards the corridor.

He was sitting near his father’s dead body and weeping. She called him once and ran towards of him.

Smith you are alive, I can’t believe this, where you were, look around every thing has finished by that animal. She was weeping.

What happened here, Smith controlled himself and asked.

The animal came here at once today early in the morning and killed all the peoples, I was in basement therefore I am alive, Diana explained shortly.

We have to leave this place immediately, the animal can come here any moment, she suggests.

Yeah we will, but we have to underground the dead bodies first, so the animal could not eat them after us, Smith replied.
Wait I have to close the main door of the house first, the animal attack from another place on the house, because the main door is still in order, Smith replied and ran towards the main door.

He locked It carefully and return back with sorrow, let’s dispose off the dead bodies then we will leave this place forever Smith said to Diana and both were get busy to shift the dead bodies in the basement.

After about one hour they shift all the bodies in the basement successfully and now Diana was collecting some necessary things from the house.

Smith was also in his bedroom and getting some necessary things.

Diana collect some dry food and clothes in his hand bag and came near of Smith, I am ready let’s go.

At that same moment they heard growling of animal from out side the house.

It’s coming. It will kill us; let’s go, we leave this house right now, she screamed.

The main door is closed don’t worry it can’t approach in the house easily again.

At the same moment the animal starts the hitting of the main door badly, you don’t worry come with me, we will stay near of main door, its un breakable, the animal must leave the main door shortly, Smith said to her.

After about ten minutes the growls of the animal was coming from the back side of the house.

Let go, Smith open the main door carefully, ok we have to run faster, Smith locked the main door again from out side griped her hand and they were running towards the filed way which is the only way for exit of this village.

Its evening the sun had down, there was so cold, darkness and fog outside, the wind was blowing in extraordinary speed, the sky was already covered with black clouds, the atmosphere was against them.

(Chapter-25)

They has been continuously running about half mile after departs from the house; Smith was noticing that the Diana had tired; therefore he was thinking that he will be take some rest when reached on his own fields.

We reached almost our fields, we are out of danger now, we can stay for some time, Smith suggest.

Where we are going? Diana asked, she was looking afraid.

We have to cross the forest, then we reached in the next village, but I am sure the animal is behind us, we have to save us first, Smith replied.

How do we cross this horrible forest? The people of the village were seldom discussed that, the forest is very huge and full with animals, only group of peoples/traders can cross it with planning, Diana explained.

I had crossed this forest only one time before, when I was a child; my father took me on Ox cart, well it was old time, I hope if we reached and cross the irrigation canal, which is situated about one mile from here, then we will be safe from this animal Smith informing her.

I can’t believe that what’s going on with us, this is all about like a bad dream, Diana was trembling.

Don’t be afraid, this is part of life, everything will be all right Smith asked of her.

You are with me, why should I afraid? Diana replied.

Ok now you please explain about incidence what happened exactly yesterday early in the morning behind me in the house? How the animal entered into the house? Smith was surprised.

I don’t know, how the animal access in the house, I was in my room having breakfast with my family, I heard screams of peoples, Diana described him all the story accordingly, what she knows about.

Well in my observations, the main door of the house was in order, that’s mean the animal would be came through the tree behind the house; yeah I was expected that, Smith said.

I could not save my village, parents, friends even your family, I had totally failed, Smith was in sorrow.

It was not your fault, you have done as your level best, but this all incidence was in our fortune, Diana said.

Diana was descent, sharp and nice girl she was known about the current worst situation. She was preparing herself for all these circumstances, she don’t want to show her any weakness as a female.

We are at our farms Smith informed her.

Look at there, this is our farmers room they use it for rest and place their filed implements, let’s go we can stay there for a while, Smith said to her.

I have some dry food in my hand bag, I think we should eat something, as we are hungry since yesterday, Diana replied showing his hand bag.

Yeah I am also so hungry and thirsty as well, Smith replied and they were entered in the muddy room which was temporarily built by the farmers.

The door of that room was already opened, Smith lights the lamp fill the glass of water, and serves it to her.

Please sit down on the chair and make yourself comfortable, we are far away from the village, I think we can stay here for one hour then we move forward Smith.

Diana serve to him a piece of dry meat along with bread, Smith and Diana eat some food and drank the water as well, now they are feeling some fresh.

Before this she can re pack his hand bag, the area surrounds with the growl of that animal.

Oh no shit, I think the animal had reached behind us, it’s following us, this is amazing and unbelievable Smith informed of Diana.

Ok let’s go we have to run, it’s near of us, Smith said to her and they depart from the room quickly.

They were trying to running fast, suddenly Diana drops down badly at once; her foot had slipped from the mud.

Smith hold it hardly, watch out, are you alright? Smith asked.

Yeah I am fine, she was looking behind, and her breath was disturbed due to fast running.

The animal is behind us, we have to reach canal anyway, the animals afraid of water, and it does never follow us after the canal. Smith was increasing her courage.

After some steps ahead Diana sits down and gripped her left leg, I have heavy pain in my knee; I could not run anymore, you should leave me here. I will take care of myself, you have to save your life, she was weeping and begging of Smith.

Impossible, I never let you behind like that, we live together or die together, Smith replied and carry of her on his shoulder and start running again.

Smith was about to reach the canal, but he had so tired, he was near to drop down, he was using his full strength, he knows his destiny is just a few steps ahead, If he had failed the animal doesn’t let them alive.

After about one minute Smith had reached on the edge of the canal.

Ok we reached on the canal, Smith said, his breath was disturb due to running, he drop down her carefully.

The canal was vast and big, the water flowing smoothly without any voice, but it was deep and dangerous. The agricultural business of the village depends on its water.

The voice of the animal is still coming behind us what will we do now. Diana was afraid and looking towards the canal water.

Let it came near of us, then I will decide what to do. Smith replied.

After few moments Smith can see the animal. The animal was looks horrible.

We have to dive into the canal, when I start the countdown, then you will take a deep breath and jump with me, you got it? Smith asked of her without looking her face.

I can’t swim, I have no experience for swimming, I will die in the water, Diana was screaming.

Look at me, you have to do this, I love you so much, I will take care of you. Don’t worry, ok ? Be alert the animal is coming near of us, Smith informed her.

The animal reached near of them and stopped just a few steps before. It’s growling, and wants to attack on them.

The animal was coming close of them step by step and before this, the animal could grip one of them. Smith countdown was completed and they jumped together in the water.

The water was unexpectedly warm instead of freezing, but it’s flowing very fast and powerfully. Diana was trying to swim, but she was in shock, she closed her eyes and was waiting for her death.

Smith tries to drag of her to another edge of the canal, but the water flow was power full it was great challenge for him.

Smith was facing two problems at a time, he wants to keep up the face of Diana from the water and secondly he was trying to across heavy flow of water with another hand.

The animal was still standing on the edge of the canal, and growling with irritation.

Diana cannot face the situation and she was gone into catalepsy. Smith was trying hard to get the destiny but his body was not allowing for that, due to weakness.

Smith’s body was going out of control he was near to lost his senses as well; he never wants to die like that.

Smith was near to cross the canal, but he was also losing his control of his body.

Smith takes a deep breath and starts dragging of Diana more than powerfully towards another edge of the canal.

By chance Smith gripped the branch of the tree which was in the water due to its long length.

After about 10 minutes hard struggle Smith pushed the body of Diana out of the water and drags himself out of the water as well, but he was lost his sense steadily. There was no further movement seems in their bodies, but he done it.

Both of them were on another edge of canal, the season was going to be worst, the fast rain and wind had started.

Smith was becoming in senses gradually, he checked around and he saw Diana was near of him.

Oh she is in danger, Smith grumbled and tries to press her back so she release the water which was in her body during the swimming.

Smith pressed her back many times, even she started vomiting.

Where am I.? Diana asked.

We are safe, look around we are out of canal. Smith informed her gladly.

Let’s go the rain had started, we have to find out a shelter so we could stay away from rain, Smith said to her.

Smith picked to Diana on his shoulder and moved towards the forest, maybe this area was not in use by humans, and therefore the forest of this area was extraordinary covered with thick wild bushes than other side of canal forest.

Smith put her down under the huge tree and advised to stay here; he was going to collect some dry bushes.

Both of them were trembling with cold, there cloths were wet with mud and water.

Smith hardly collected some dry bushes and lightened them with a special stone and with his knife.

When Smith dragged his knife on the special stone, the bushes lighted on due to spark.

Both of them were happy to have a fire in these circumstances.

I think we can tolerate this cold if we sit-down closer, we can get natural body warms from each other Diana suggest.

Smith was already wishing that, he swiftly dragged near of her even they were feeling their breaths of each other as well.

They spent the whole night in each others arms, even the sun raised.

(Chapter-26)

It is 7:00 A.M early in the morning; everywhere was freshness, and clean atmosphere, the sky had clear of clouds, the Sun was shining, the voices of birds and animals was coming from all around the forest.

Smith cannot sleep all over the night due to safe side, he was knows they were between the unknown forest and any wild animal can attack on them

Madam good morning please gets up, Smith said to Diana with nice smile.

Oh good morning, how are you in this morning? Diana asked.

I am fine, lets we have to fresh up with the water of canal, Smith said to her.

She had gets up and looking around.

Woo, is it heaven? I had never seen before such a nice atmosphere like this. This is really amazing and unforgettable. Diana seems glad.

Yes this is really heaven, every thing is praying for one God (ALLAH). Smith take a deep breath and answered.

Let’s go we need to drink some water and get fresh up, Smith said to her and both of them were on the canal.

They drink the water and move forward along with edge of canal.

We have to arrange some food, Smith said to Diana.

Smith was searching wild fruit trees which are really famous around these areas, but unfortunately he failed so far to find the same yet.

Suddenly they were stopped at once due to monkey’s noise from the Forest.

After a while they saw a Deer coming from the forest, it was already hurt by someone animal.

In he next moment Smith drag his hunting knife and throw it towards the Deer, the knife was targeted exactly on the neck of Deer, its drop down near of them.

Smith and Diana ran towards the Deer, but they stopped at once, they saw a huge Bear was also coming out from the forest behind the Deer.

Don’t move, Smith warned of her and move slowly towards the Bear, actually he want to make distance between Diana and Bear, so she stay away from Bear’s attack.

The Bear and Smith was standing before each other, Bear was already in aggressive mood, it cannot tolerate presence of human near of its hunt.

Suddenly Bear stands on his behind feet; it was warned to Smith that stays away from its hunt.

Smith was knows the Bear never let them alive, and he have to kill that anyway, therefore he was prepared to face it.

Smith was holding tightly the knife in his hand and ran towards the bear at once; the bear was still on his behind feet, and want to catch of Smith.

Smith jumped over the Bear, his round his hand in the air, and hit it to the Bear’s neck successfully.

Bear growls in a loud voice and turned back whereas the Smith was dropped down.

Smith was alerted he gets up quickly and was ready for bear attack.

The bear wants to hit its gauntlet; but Smith was alerted.

Before the Bear can get him, Smith strikes his knife once again with mightily behind the Bear and get ride on it quickly. Smith was hitting his knife again and again on his back, even its blood has flowing from different places of body.

Smith second attack was more than powerful and was on the sensitive spot. The bear was growling loudly.

Suddenly the Bear pulls down to Smith and was near to grip his neck in its cruel jaw.

Smith hit his knife exactly on the heart of Bear; the Bear screamed loudly and drop down aside.

Smith getup quickly and gone towards the Bear, so he checked it either it died or not.

But the Bear stand again and gripped his foot.

The attack of Bear was suddenly, Smith feel heavy pain in his foot but it hit again powerfully his hunting knife into its head, the bear had dead on the spot.

Smith dragged his foot from its jaws and stand up.

Diana was weeping, when she saw the bear had killed, she ran and reached near of Smith quickly, “are you alright”? Oh my God your foot is bleeding badly, she was worried.

I am ok, don’t you worry, Smith replied with smile.

It was so risky and dangerous to face the cruel animal like that, do you know don’t do this again I do not live without you. Diana came close of Smith and said.

Dear it was necessary, if I would not kill that animal; he must kills both of us. You don’t know about bear’s nature, they never let human alive, Smith was trying to understand her.

Yeah I can understand, but it was so risky that if a man killed the big Bear without Shot gun like that, any how it is really amazing and unbelievable. I proud of you. You are really such a brave and unbeatable person. Diana was seems impressed.

Oh don’t mentioned that, it was not a high task just forget it, let’s go, we have to prepare deer on the fire, I am so hungry, Smith replied of her and after about 30 minutes they were busy to prepare the deer’s meet on the fire.

The meat of the deer was delicious and salty; they eat even Diana restore remaining meat for another time.

I am visiting this side of canal for the first time every of my life, I think this area is not in use by humans so far, Diana asked.

Yeah it is a huge jungle around us; nothing can survive here except animals. We will continue to follow this canal till evening, when we reached reasonable distance from this area, then we have to cross the canal again so we could enter into our forest, there we will find proper way to exit from this area. Smith explained in detail.

That’s a good idea, Diana was agreed.

Its seems just a dream we had lost our families and homes she was in sorrow again. She was remembering her family.

I am sorry; Smith said of her and dragged of her closer.

Forget all what happened, we have to start a new life. Smith was trying to calm down of her. After some whiles they were once again on their way.

(Chapter-27)

It was evening they were still on their way and looking tired, the forest was becoming thick, and therefore they were not in a position to move further more.

I think that’s enough, now we can cross this canal again, you just stay here and wait for me, I am making some arrangements so we could cross the canal again safely Smith said to her.

I will help you, Diana was insisting, but Smith was not ready for getting her help because she was seems very tired.

Smith selected some long branches of the trees and knot them with each other, until they now looks like a lengthy rob.

After this he knotted one branch to the nearest tree of this side of canal and he ties next edge of that branch with his waist, he came near of canal and dive into the water.

Diana stands up at once and looking to him, what he is doing, she grumbled.

Smith crossed the canal within 5 minutes and get out on the other edge of the canal, the branch is still tied with his waist.

He opens the branch from his waist and knot it with nearest tree of the canal, but he kept the rob from the water about two feet above.

After this Smith dive again in the canal and returned back near of Diana.

Madam we are ready to proceed, Smith informed her.

She getup with nice smile, thank you so much Diana replied.

Diana was looking the rob on the canal which are noted from both side of the canal she still can’t understand that what he wants to do.

Shall we precede madam Smith asked like a servant?

Diana was intentionally starts laughing.

Ok can you believed in me? You just grip me tightly ok? Smith advised him and they were in the canal in another minute.

Diana locked her arms around Smith tightly and praying as they crossed the canal successfully.

Smith gripped the branch with his hands, which was above the water and start dragging ahead slowly.

The water flow was very fast in the canal, if the Smith would not fixed a rob above the water, then they could not cross the canal exactly from desired place.

After the struggle of 15 minutes they were successfully on the other edge of the canal.

Diana was so happy, this was great idea, we had easily crossed the canal this is amazing and unbelievable, she kiss the face of Smith as saying thanks.

I think we should proceed further right now, we have to find out reasonable place for spent the night, Smith said.

So let’s go, Smith said and they entered into deep forest.

All the land of the forest was wet and converted into boggy land; they cannot take steps fast.

After about 30 minutes, Diana was unable to move further more, even some steps. I am so tired Diana requesting him for staying here.

Ok we have to search a big tree where we can spend night safely, Smith said and looking for desire tree.

After some moments he had found one huge and strong tree nearby and he climbed on it for checking out.

Ok I am throwing down a branch of a tree, knot it with your waist tightly and try to climb up I will drag you; Smith advised of her and start cutting a strong and lengthy branch of the tree.

After some minutes Diana had knotted the branch with her waist and informed him, that she is ready for climbing please help me and drag me up, She replied and starts climbing on the tree.

She reached near of Smith after the hard struggle; some scratches have appeared on her body during the climbing.

Oh my God, climbing of a tree is a very difficult job. She said and Smith was laughing.

The weather was going to be worst gradually, there was heavy wind blowing above the forest trees.

They were on the large branch of the tree; therefore they were safe to drop down.

They eat the dry meat of Deer and smith suggest that she should take a sleep, because she was so tired and wet with canal water as well.

After about 30 minutes Diana had slept Smith gripped her between his arms, so she could not drop down.

Smith had also closed his eyes, but he was also alerted with all around.

(Chapter-28)

It was early in the morning, the Sun had raised, the sweet voices of birds were coming from all over the forest.

There was deep fog in the forest, the sky was clear.

Diana was under the arms of Smith and she was still sleeping. Smith could not sleep last knight, because he was watching around all over the night.

Madam please get up its morning Smith was trying to wake of her.

Diana awaked at once with a lovely smile.

How are you dear, Smith asked?

I have much pain in my whole body, she was seemed uncomfortable.

Actually, we are on the tree from last night that’s why you are feeling pain in your body, well you should look around, so your pain could be recover Smith asked of her.

Diana gets up and looked around “Oh my God “Unbelievable atmosphere, I will never forget these moments, she was happy.

Lets go we have to get down one by one, Smith advised her and after after some moments they were on the land of forest.
We are away from suspected animal, perhaps we have to take extra care of us while we are again in the dangerous forest area where as that animal could attack on us unexpectedly, Smith was advising her just in case.

Ok now you stay here, I have to search something for eat he said and moved forward.

Smith was searching wild fruit near by, suddenly he saw a
Rabbit behind the bushes.

The rabbit was still behind the bushes, Smith was waiting for it, until it came near of him, so he could catch it.

After some whiles the Rabbit came out from the bushes for eating green wild grass.

Smith was behind it, and ready for attack, the Rabbit was un-aware with the presence of him.

Smith is not having a knife in his hands, he was planning to catch the Rabbit alive with his hands.

The rabbit was standing behind the tree, at once Smith was in the air, he jumped very carefully even Rabbit could not seem or feel him, the Rabbit was in the hands of Smith, before Smith drop down.

Smith tightly griped the neck of Rabbit. The Rabbit wants to escape from the hands of Smith, but it can’t due to such a tight grip.

Diana ran towards of Smith she was laughing .

You have done a great job, unbelievable “Wao” look at that Rabbit, It is so big, can I touch it? Seems beautiful, Diana touched its head with her finger carefully.

How you did that its really amazing, I am sure you are not an ordinary person, Diana was so impressed and looking to him.

Let’s prepare the meat, Smith said and pressed the Rabbit under his right foot and cut its neck by knife at once.

They prepared meat of the Rabbit on the fire, infect Smith was worried about the animal; therefore they decided to eat the prepared meet ahead when they reached on reasonable safe place.

Keep walking, we should leave this area as soon as possible, the smell of blood can attract the suspected animal, if it is near of us by chance, Smith was sharing his feelings with Diana.

They were moving fast towards the way, so they can enter on the way that can exit them from this forest.

After about two hours, they saw a fount; wherefrom fresh water was flowing out, it was able to drink. They decided to stay here for some time so they can have breakfast.

The meat was very delicious, they eat it very well.

The Sun was shining, Smith and Diana were sitting and having sun bath as well.

I think we should proceed now; we are near to reached the requisite way, Smith asked of her.

Diana was agreed, she preserve some meat of Rabbit, so they can eat it for another time; they are once again moving forward for searching the desire path.

(Chapter-29)

It is 1:00 A.N, We are about to reach the desire way shortly, Smith informed to her.

Diana was looking so tired due to un-balanced way of forest; she was feeling worst pain in her feet.

Look at there, here is the way we are searching for , Smith take her forward on the path. After some moments both of them were standing on the path.

Yeah exactly, this is our way to destiny, Smith was happy and he was looking to her face.

The path was situated exactly between the forest, but it was narrow, where as just one bull cart can travel at a time.

The path was seems horrible, the trees were banded on it from both sides, and looking like a long cave.

Before they moved further, suddenly they saw a Sheep, there was a robe on its neck.

The sheep belongs with our village, but how it came here, Diana asked.

You are right, the got seems pet, unfortunately the owner of the got had been lost it, when he was passing the forest, Smith was making guess.

They had stopped and looking to the sheep.

The sheep was looking afraid, its ran away when Diana tried to catch it.

Smith was laughing at Diana, and she is still behind the goat.

Hey listen to me, just leave it alone, the goat seems afraid, it never came close of you, just forgets it, Smith was calling and advising her.

After some tries, finally Diana came back near of Smith.

I am surprised, how you catch that Rabbit just in one jump? Even you can see I could not catch the goat while it was pet, Diana still trying to control her breaths.

Smith was not listening to her, he was just laughing.

Ok dear just forget it let’s go ahead, Smith replied and they leave the goat as it is.

I am thinking about the animal absence from the village about two days, do you remember that? Smith was asking to her.

Yeah I have remembered, the animal was disappeared from the village, when all the remaining people of the village were in your house, she replied.

Yeah exactly, I am thinking that if the people of the village had reached here successfully, that’s mean they had been cross the forest almost.

Just in case where was the animal got busy for two days? Smith was grumbling.

In my observation, I was thinking that the animal had killed the peoples, which are migrated from the village, therefore it was absent from the village, but the situation is different, Smith was surprised.

Well lets go ahead, we are near to cross the forest, Smith said and they once again moving fast on the desire way.

I think the animal is not following us; otherwise it must attacks on us, Diana said gladly.

Yeah may be it was still in the village, Smith replied.

Suddenly Smith stopped and both of them were in shocked to see lot of dead bodies on the path.

Oh my God, look at there, Smith said and ran towards the bodies.

Oh no Diana cannot tolerate this, these bodies are belongs with migrated peoples, she was shocked.

It’s very bad, Smith and Diana were in sorrow.

let’s go we have to leave this area right now, if we moved ahead continuously, then we will be on the next village early in the morning, Smith suggest and they moved forward once again.

They were on there way till evening, Diana was still thinking about peoples which are killed by that animal, therefore she was quite.

This area of the forest is very dangerous, we have to cancel proceed further more during the sunset, therefore we spent this night on the tree like last night, Smith said to Diana.

Yeah you are right, the traveling at night will be not safe, Diana was agreed.

Smith selected the tree for staying night, and they successfully climbed on it before deep darkness.

Do you want to eat some meat? Smith asked her.

I am not hungry, thanks, Diana replied quietly.

I think you are still thinking about these peoples, just forget them, we are experiencing the worst time of our life, while we have to think about our bright future instead, Smith was trying to understand of her.

She eats some meat after the insisting of Smith and now she was asking for drinking water.

No problem you wait for me, I am going for bringing some water for you, Smith said to her and get stand on the stem.

No wait, just forget it ok, I can wait till early in the morning, it’s not necessary, Diana want to stop of him.

I am also so thirsty and needs some water, therefore Madam please stay here I am near of you don’t worry at all, Smith once again trying to get understand her.

Ok I am also going with you down there, Diana stands up quickly.

Dear this will be risky, you cannot repeat up and down from the tree again and again. Smith was insisting.

Its ok I will manage, no problem, I am going with you, Diana said and any how they once again was down under the tree after some minutes.

Where we found water? I think there is no any fount near of us, Diana asked of him.

There is no need of fount, let check these trees, I will use the nature storage of water. Smith replied and they were standing under the desire tree.

Smith cut off one branch of the tree which was lengthy and near of land.

Smith attached his mouth with the branch and start drinking water.

What are you doing? Is there is water in this branch? She asked surprisingly.

Yeah, wait you check it out by yourself, Smith cut another branch and fix it with her mouth.

Diana feels the water was coming from the inside of the branch, she drank it quickly, it was fresh.

AT the moment Smith was standing a side looking towards another direction.

At once Diana dropped down ahead, due to sudden attack of unknown animal of behind her.

Smith turned around at once. He saw a big healthy wolf was on the back of Diana.

The wolf was growling like it was warning to Smith that leave it alone along with its hunt.

Oh shit, Smith was worried and not ready for this situation.

Diana you don’t move just freeze, I will kill the wolf, Smith alerted to Diana with slow voice.

Smith was confused how to hit the wolf, it was already on the back of the Diana, if it inserted its teeth into the neck of Diana once, she will be die.

The wolf was growling badly, its two feet was on the Diana’s body.

Smith dragged his knife smoothly, and threw it towards the Wolf.
Unfortunately the wolf get down therefore the knife could not hit it properly, while its cuts deeply to the wolf’s head.

The wolf jumped over to Smith in reaction.

Smith was waiting for this, he catch the Wolf in the air.

Wolf and Smith was drop down badly.

Smith wants to hit his knife to the Wolf, but the wolf gripped his hand and his hand starts bleeding.

In another second Smith hand was in the air and he cut the neck of wolf badly.

Smith gets up quickly and stays aside.

The wolf was badly injured by its neck but its get stand again and looking to Smith with its red eyes.

Suddenly the wolf was in the air and wants to grip the neck of Smith.

Smith was alerted, he once again successfully grip the wolf in the air and hit its knife on its heart deeply, the attack was timely and on the sensitive spot, the wolf drop down with thunder voice and seems finished.

Smith touched the wolf with its feet but it was dead. He rain towards Diana who was standing aside and trembling with fear.

Are you ok? Smith asked of her.

Yeah I am ok, but your hand is bleeding, come close to me I have to stop the blood, Diana said to him.

Just forget it its not deep inside, lets go we have to climb on the tree again before any animal can attack on us again, smith grip her hand and they were on that tree one by one.

Smith has arranged some leafs of a special plant, he apply them on the wound, and shortly the bleeding had stopped.

Ok now you can knot this wound Smith said to her.

I was told you earlier, this will be risky that you came down from tree at this time, but you not listening to me, Smith said to her.

Yeah it was my fault, but I can’t leave you alone, therefore I was insisting, Diana replied.

While your performance was excellent as usual, Dianna was smiling.

Ok mention not, lets we have to sleep now, come close of me, Smith gripped her tightly under his arms and they were trying to sleep.

(Chapter-30)

It was midnight time about 2:00 A.M Smith was awaking, because he was continuously feeling bad smell under the tree, he can recognized that smell.

He had alerted, he was trying to check down under the tree again and again but he was unable to see anything due to darkness and fog.

Smith was sure about that smell, this smell was must be of that cruel animal. But Smith was in confusion, as if there was suspected animal under the tree, so why it is not growl so far?

He spend the remaining night time nervously, and now it was about 7:00 A.M early in the morning, the sun was not raised so far, while Smith can see under the tree within limited area.

Where are you man-eater? Smith was grumbling and was looking down in the forest.

Diana had awaked due to sitting re-positioning of Smith.

Good morning, she said.

Good morning, how are you in this morning? Smith asked of her.

I am well, she replied.

I want to get down from the tree; I need some privacy she asked of him.

I think it’s not safe yet, will you wait about one hour? Smith asked.

What happened? Anything wrong? Diana asked, she seems worried.

No its ok, every thing is ok, I was just waiting for sun arise nothing serious to worry about, Smith doesn’t want to tell her about animal presence until he confirmed

No problem, I can wait she replied.

Before she asked something else, Smith blocked her mouth with his hand and looking down under the tree.

Keep quite I think the animal had found us, Smith informed her.

Oh no, oh my God, It’s reached behind us? Diana holds the shoulder of the Smith tightly, she was afraid.

Doesn’t worry just keep quite let me check it, Smith said to her.

No “no” please don’t try to get down, we had already trapped. It’s never let us alive, she warned him in a low voice.

Smith knows that Diana was right, they had actually trapped in this tree, and they never could be escaped any where.

Look into my eyes dear, you have to believe me, no animal can kill you, until I am alive, so don’t you worry at all.

It will leave us alone, when it will be failed to get us. We are safe and on the higher big tree. Smith was trying to understand her.

At the same time, the animal growls loudly and came under the tree exactly.

Smith can see the animal, it was now under the tree, the animal was looking to them with its red and big eyes. It’s seems so horrible.

Don’t look down there, Smith warned her with low voice.

Diana covered her eyes with hands; she really doesn’t want to see it again in her life, but unfortunately the reality of the life was again before her.

What should we do now? Diana asked

Just stay keep quiet, no movement; we will wait until it’s leave. Smith replied.

Diana was noticing to Smith that he was still behaving normal and not seems afraid.

This was quality of the Smith, that he never gets any tension when he was facing a critical situation, so his mind could be working properly.

After some whiles, the animal gripped the tree with both of its hands and tried to climb it, but the tree was straight, therefore the animal cannot climb up with such a heavy weight, so it’s definitely failing again and again.

The animal was growling loudly it’s seems anger, suddenly the animal started to shake the stem of the tree, maybe it’s want to drop them down.

But Smith had already selected the big tree in view of these expected circumstances.

The animal was using his full power to shake the tree but it failed.

After some tries, finally the anima sit down under the tree, like now it’s wants to see the human endurance.

Smith hold tightly of Diana when the animal was shaking the tree, wait I have an idea, Smith stands up quickly on the branch and came down on the last branch of the tree.

The animal continuously observing him, there was shining in the eyes of animal. The animal gets stand quickly, for the welcome of Smith.

Smith cut and collect some long branches of the tree as he wants to use them as a rob.

Smith done his job and get back near of Diana having some branches in his hand.

The animal growling and looking at him when he was climbing up again.

Smith cleaned the leaf from the branches and knot them with each other so the branches could be use as rob.

Diana was wonder and was looking towards him; she was thinking what he wants to planning now.

Smith had prepared lengthy rob and start making rings around three main branches of the tree, Diana was between the rob circles, when he finished, the Diana was surprised to see that there was amazing safety ring had prepared around her, Smith came near of her.

Now in these circles of the robs we can stay safe, and now there is no chance to drop down even by chance, Smith was describing.

I am feeling really secure in these circles, Diana replied.

The animal was still under the tree, and it was not going any where, while they were waiting for a chance to escape.

What to do now, Diana asked after a three hours.

Just wait and watch may be any miracle happened. Smith replied with deep breath.
