C16 Who Are You?

Dean POV

I woke in the morning with the sun rays falling on my face, I washed my face, and began to make breakfast for me and Ryan, I prepared a soup which both of us would have,

I woke Ryan up and handed the bowl of soup In his hands,

"How are you feeling Ryan?", I asked him.

"I Am feeling much better Dean, did you sleep well last night", he asked.

"No I didn't, I had to watch the night,to make sure we are safe, someone had to stay awake, you were not well so I couldn't let you stay awake, you had to rest", I replied.

"Are you okay Dean, feeling better or do you want us to rest for sometime and then leave to search rieka?", He asked me.

"No I am fine Ryan, we cannot waste time, time is very precious for us, hope so Rieka is fine, we cannot find her anywhere, Ryan do you remember anything that day, when Rieka disappeared all of a sudden, do you know who took her along with them In the woods", I asked him.

"Yes I remember, it seemed that another wolf dragged her into the forest, she couldn't move as she was unconscious, so it must be the wolf who dragged her, there was fog everywhere so I could just see a figure of a wolf in the fog", he replied.

"That wolf must be her friend or relative who came to rescue her, I am relieved at least she is in good hands, we need to now search her, come on get ready wash your face we need to move from this place, it is not safe for us to stay in the same place for a long time, are there enough bow and arrows along with us", I asked him.

"No we don't have arrows left with us, we used them to hunt the snakes which were the poisonous ones trying to attack us we have only a bow left with us",He replied.

"Okay fine you stay here with max, I will go get some woods so that we can make arrows for ourself, I will find some sharp stones, you search for a big stone here, we will need it to make our arrows and knives sharp, don't leave this place, we will get a stone here which we need,I had seen one, take care of max, I will return soon", I replied.

"Hurry Dean, we need the arrows. If any wild animal shows up what will you do dean?You don't have your arrow along with you", Ryan asked me.

"Don't worry I have my knives along with me. I can use them to protect myself,you can also do the same if any wild one shows up", saying that I left to get the woods and stones which were required to make the arrows.

I had collected a few woods along with the sharp stones, I also collected herbs which could make anyone nauseous, I could make a paste of it and apply it on the tip of the arrows, which would make any wild animal unconscious, I didn't want to hurt any animal.

I collected a few fruits along with me, fetched some fresh water and headed towards the place where Ryan was waiting for me.

I began to make the arrows sharp on the stone, Ryan was helping me in making the arrows sharp.

Rieka's aunt POV

When the guests arrived, I prepared some tea along with some snacks which were going to be served to the guests.

"Please take a seat, I hope you didn't have any trouble while traveling", I asked them.

"No no we didn't, it just took a day to travel to your place, it was fun", they replied.

I told the maids to serve the snacks Along with the tea that I prepared for them.

"Please have something you must be very tried because of the travel", I added.

"Thank you so much",they replied.

"This is my son Greg, who wants to marry your daughter Rieka, I heard that she is a princess here, we are very lucky to have a girl who has royal blood flowing through her viena to be our daughter-in-law, where is your girl", they asked.

I called a maid and whispered in their ears.

"Where is she? Did she wear the dress and the ornaments that I sent Her, is she ready, the guests are waiting for her '', I asked one of the maids.

"Yes she is getting ready, it will take just some time for her to get ready, she will be here any moment", they replied.

"She is getting ready, you know that ladies take a lot of time to dress themselves, as they want to look perfect", I replied.

"Yes I can understand, she can how much time she wants", they replied.

"I want my son to marry your girl next week, they can exchange rings today", they replied.

"But today, don't you think it's too early, we need time to prepare for the engagement", I replied.

"Oh, don't worry about that we brought the rings along with us, so that we can get the kids engaged today, and yes about the wedding, we would like to have a small wedding not a grand one, only close relatives and friends would be invited", they replied.

"I hope that you didn't have any problems regarding this", they added.

"No no I don't have any problems l, Rieka is lucky that she is going to marry your son, he is so handsome and attractive, girls must be crazy for him", I asked them.

"Yes they are, there were many proposals for my son, we declined all of them, and we accepted your proposal", they replied.

"After marriage your daughter will be staying in our house, she will no longer have any relationship from this kingdom, I don't want my daughter-in- law to rule, I hope you understand", they replied.

"Oh yes I can totally understand, after marriage Rieka will not return to this kingdom,she is all yours", I replied.

"It's taking too long for her, we need to get home by tomorrow,if we leave today, we can get home by Tomorrow, can you please call your girl",they said.

I moved towards Reika's room and knocked at her door, but she was not answering.

So I opened the door with another key, when I entered her room, she was missing, I saw that she busted from her room, through the window, I know exactly where she is.

"I will be back in few minutes, till then take care of the guests", I ordered the maids.

I wore my black cloak, and left the house through my back door.

I headed towards the older Wolf's place, when I entered her house shenwas sitting on her coach.

"Where is Rieka", I asked the wolf.

"She is gone", the older wolf replied.

"Where did she go?", I asked the older wolf.

"I won't tell you anything", you can leave, she replied.

"You should be dead by now, why are you alive", I replied.

"That's my fate I tried to do good by trying to safe rieka so in return my life is saved, you will pay for your sins very soon, you tried to ruin your nices life,

Be ready, for your worst days, please leave", she replied.

I left her house and headed towards my place.

Dean POV

While we were making the arrows with sharp stones and woods, suddenly a wild bear showed up in front of us. There were not one but 3 bears, they were wild and dangerous, they had red eyes. Their teeth was so sharp that it could tear our body into several pieces.

Our arrows were not to fight the bear, Ryan was sitting near me, helping me to make the arrows, the bears had surrounded us from all three sides, we had no chance to escape from the bear.

"What should we don now Dean, these bears look so dangerous"!!!!, He said.

"I know, we cannot escape from this horrible situation Ryan we need to face them, I can do one thing I will divert the bear, you can take advantage of that and escape, I cannot let anything happen to you Ryan, you can take max along with you, don't worry about me if you get Rieka tell her how much I loved her", I replied.

"Are you crazy Dean, I am not leaving without you, we are going to face this situation together, we just need to think about something, to get rid of these wild bears", he replied.

"Okay I have an idea, I will divert the bears till then you try to burn the woods, we need fire to get rid of them, these animals are scared of fire, they won't harm us, do as I say", I replied.

"Okay I will try to make fire from these woods you divert their minds", he replied.

No no Ryan, you need to do it otherwise we will not get back to the village in one piece, you don't know what the bears can do to us they will rip our body parts, we have no time, do as I say", I replied.

"Okay fine", he replied.

I took my knives along with me and I was trying to divert the minds of the bears. I threw a knife on one of the bear's legs, he was injured, but he didn't lose hope, he was taking huge steps towards me.

"Ryan hurry, they are Getting violent", I yelled.

"I am trying my best, just give me some more time", he yelled back.

The bears were now getting too close ; they were taking huge steps towards me.

I just closed my eyes as I knew what was coming ahead of me, I knew that very time that I am going to die.

Suddenly there were no voices around me, when I opened my eyes I saw that the full atmosphere was filled with fog, I couldn't see anything.

"Dean, where are you?Are you okay bro?", Ryan said.

"I can't see you anywhere," I said.

When the fog disappeared, we saw that the bears were lying on the ground lifeless, all three of them were covered with blood, it looked like another animals killed them.

We both were standing near the dead bodies of the bear.

"Who did this Dean?", Ryan asked me.

"I have no idea Ryan, but whoever it was it was definitely very powerful, in just a blink of an eye it killed both the bears", I replied.

"Are you Dean?", a female voice asked me from behind.

I and Ryan turned around, we saw that there was a beautiful young lady wearing a long red dress, standing in front of us.

"Yes I am Dean,do I know you?" I asked her.

No you definitely don't know me, but I came here in search of you, and finally I found you, she replied

"This is your friend, you must be Ryan right?", She asked ryan.

"Yes I am Ryan, pleasure to meet you young lady", Ryan replied.

"Okay wait, how do you know both of our names, I don't know you", I replied.

"Yes I know that you don't know me, but you know my sister and my sister sent me here to rescue both of you", she added.

"You are Reika's sister?", I asked her.

"Yes I am her cousin sister, we both grew up together, she was tensed about you, so she sent me here to protect both of you, and reach you both safely to your village, '' she added.

"Where is Rieka?, I want to meet her", I said.

"Rieka is in a safe place but I can't take you there, it's only meant for shapeshifters not humans", she added.

"Please take me to Rieka, I wanna meet her". I replied.

"I am sorry Dean but I can't, if I take you there the other shapeshifters, they might kill you, no humans are allowed in our kingdom, you need to understand this", she replied.
