When the music stops


"Chirp"
"Chirp"

"Yawn..."
"Why are there birds here?" 
I said while eyes closed.

"Chirp"
"Chirp"

"Stop it, you're so noisy" 
As I said that I opened my eyes, the sunlight was warm, the atmosphere was calm, and everything was beautiful, except for those dead bodies lying on the ground.
"What good sleep I have"
Poke
"Ouch!"
A sudden thud on my head broke my thoughts, a fruit had dropped from the tree above.
I then touched my head to see if it left a injury, it didn't.
"Who am I kidding it won't leave an injury, silly me"
I then picked up the fruit.
"Free breakfast it is"
Then started biting it, the sweetness of the fruit was visible from the first bite.
crunch
Now come the second bite, the flavors mixes with the juiciness of the fruit it was just like eating a mango and an apple at the same time.
After I finished eating it, I then packed my thing and started to walk towards my destination.
"Heaven is there" I said while I point at the east.
I the started walking.

It's been a couple of hours since I started walking, all I see was grassy plains, others might considered this as peace but me, nah it would never be peace more like hell.
I felt like I'm walking circles, it is not fun, not a single bit.

Another hour has passed and still no sign of village or anything.
"..."
Another hour has passed still no life, but it seems like I reach the end of the plains, cause right up ahead there's a forest.
"Finally" I said with a hint of joy.
As I reach the entrance of the forest, I knew that this is something I could not turn back.
I continued walking, while staying cautious of my surrounding, I don't want to get ambush like yesterday, any sign that means danger I avoid it.

What is my luck...
back then I tried my best to avoid anything that poses danger but danger loves me.

 As I continue walking, I heard a faint rustling in the bush, I pulled out the knife I got from the goblins.
"Who's there!?" I said, staying cautious.
The bush continued to rustle stronger and stronger every second.
My heart couldn't stop pumping, sweats slowly came out and I slowly trembled to what thing is hiding in the bush.
Then it came out, no more like she came out?
It was a little girl, black hair and it's height was like an average 7 years old kid.
"W-who are you?" I said my voice trembling from uncertainty.
Is she a monster or a human
It didn't speak nor react.
She just smiled and put one of her fingers to her lips.
"shh"
She said while disappearing.
Before I knew it she was right behind me poking my back.
"Eek!"
I  jumped backward.
I looked at her, she's smiling not creepy but sweet it keeps my fear from going out.
Then she disappeared again.

then appeared at my back again poking me, this time I didn't get scared, I looked at her then smile warmly, her eyes brighten in joy then disappeared again.
I predicted where she was going to appear next then the moment she appeared behind my back again I jumped at her then made a funny but scary face.
She laughed, tears of joy came out from hey eyes, as she fall from the ground laughing.
"I-I give up" she said laughing.
"No way, you're escaping from me" 
I lunged at her then started pinching her cheeks softly.
"S-Stop it, It's ticklish"
But I continued until her tears started to fall.
I stopped right there then I asked her.
"Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine, I just hadn't had this much fun since forever" she replied wiping her tears.
I then stood up and handed her a hand, she grabbed it and I pulled her up.
I then goes to a big roots beside us then sat, I pointed beside me telling to sit down.

She sat down and we started talking.
"Would you mind giving me your name?" I said.
"I don't have a clear name, but people in the village call me danger"
"Danger? why is so?" I asked.
"People just call me that when they saw me" She said.
"Then you don't have a proper name?" I said confuse.
"I guess you could say that" she said.
"Poor little girl, where are your parents?" I asked.
"I ran away from home..." she said, after a pause "My parents are abusive and they wouldn't let me play outside like any other kids"
My eyes widened in her response.
"Then what is the magic you use to teleport, you didn't learn it by yourself right?" I said.
"I didn't that's why they're abusing they keep telling me to teleport in some kind of place then they told me to steal an item, I don't want to do it so I ran away" She said with saddened eyes.
"Do you want to go with me?" I asked.
"You wouldn't use my magic for bad things right?" She said.
"I wouldn't, I promise" I said.
"Promise?" she said.
"May death dance with me" I said.
"What does it mean?" She asked confused.
"Oh, it means I would be die if I broke my promise" I said assuring her I wouldn't use it for bad things.
"Really?, then where are we going?" She said with a hopeful eyes.
I pointed at the east "Heaven"
"Woah, is it a real place?" She asked.
"Maybe" I replied.
With that we stood up and started walking towards east.
I guess I'll be going with danger.
