17 You're Seriously A Weird Woman 1

"You don't have a name?" Sarah asked surprisingly.

"What's wrong with that?"

"No, I thought you may have. I mean, you're a demon. Like in the movie... um...nevermind." She forgot movie and reality were different things. Planing her mission, she kindly offered, "Do you want me to recommend you a name?"

"I don't need a name." He said short with annoying tone.

Feeling awkward, she changed a subject and compliment, "You really have a nice fur."

"Not selling it." He stated while leaving her to dumbfound. Geez, her compliment strategy didn't work. Preparing to climb by jumping one rock to another, he warned her, "Hold tight on my neck."

"Eh? Kyaa!" Sarah looked down and she could see that she kept furthering away from the ground. Tremblingly, she held his neck as she shut her eyes. He climbed up to the highest rock and landed safely.

After he was done, Sarah was gasping heavily. It was the same horrifying experience she got from a few days ago when she fell from the cliff or when she was alone to climb down to the ground. But this time, she was with this wolf. "Still alive?" He asked to confirm.

Her face was pale and said quietly, "...un...actually no. I feel sick. Can we take a break?"

The wolf heard her request. He looked up and it was still noon. He thought if he slowed down, he would arrive at the Haocun Kingdom for about a month. If he kept running like he was before, he estimated he would arrive in three weeks. Because of this woman, he needed to carry extra luggage which was her and made him calculated again. If that was the case, he could arrive for about one month and a half. Although, it was a slight adding more days to arrive. But still! Damn! He just couldn't wait anymore.

Sadly, he didn't have any choice to bring this woman and if not he would be the one who regretted it. He didn't want to die funny just because of this weak woman.

"Fine, let's take a break." He brought her to the nearest tree and placed her down. He heard her weak breath and he thought how his speed was too fast and made her like this. He couldn't help to underestimate her weak strength.

Out of blue, a loud rumbling could be heard. The source was coming straight from her stomach. Awkward silence. Coughing to hide her embarrassing, he finally talked to her, "Are you hungry?"

She glanced up and looked at his blue blurry eyes. Nodding slightly and said, "Un."

Snorting, he said, "But you don't like me giving you food a while ago. So, find yourself a food." He said mockingly as he sat down and looked at the sky in front.

Scoffing, how could she describe it? Petty? Looking around her area, how should she find the food she was looking for? It was in the highest place and almost all of the view was covered with snow everywhere. A breeze touched her calp, she felt cold all of sudden.

Wondering if she could proceed her plan to be on a good side of him, she started to the wolf back and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that way. You know how what I've had been through. I was just being cautious. Please don't get mad at me." She referred to how she rejected his offer.

Without looking at her, he replied, "Who said I'm mad at you? I'm just stating a fact. The fact that you don't like food from a stranger who also a demon like me, right? And of course, I know you're just being cautious, that's why I'm telling you to find your own food." Sighing, he continued, "Forget it, I know you are saying this just to make me find food for you. Please don't be so fake. Because I know how to define your lie."

Startled, how did he know about her plan? Because she didn't know this area very well, she was afraid of dangerous near. What if she got kidnapped again and so on and so on? Judging from he was quite proactive, he may respond to her, she knew this wolf would buy her act.

But, before she could do that, he already exposed her plan. What was his power? Mind reading was also on his list? And his statement about her being 'fake'. What the heck was that mean?!

Gritting her teeth, she shouted, "What do you mean fake? I'm seriously saying sorry to you! I know you have this 'incredible' power of yours, but you shouldn't basically judge it because of that. I sincerely said this from my heart!"

"Oh really? Tell me then why you suddenly act nice to me like recommending me a name or suddenly change your tone? Remember. You. Are. My slave. And. I'm. Your master. Don't try to act a fool or nice to me, you are so fake, I couldn't help to dislike it."

He heard her heartbeat which kept beating fast and her rough breath, he couldn't see her expression who was in the verge of crying. In truth, he didn't understand the real reason she acted like that. Were his words a little harsh?

In Sarah's side it wasn't a little harsh at all, but big harsh! It was an insult towards her. Calling her fake? Scoffing hard, she must admit it was. But she didn't have any choice either, didn't she?

In her life, Sarah always being judge people because of her spoil attitude, smug, and manipulative person. She didn't do that on purpose, she was being like that to protect her weak self because how people like to judge her based on her looks or how her family wealth was. Although she always proved them wrong by becoming the most stand out student among all in the school or campus and even the job she had as a supermodel, people still belittle her. They didn't acknowledge her hard work and how she tried to change to become a better person as well.

Actually, what the wolf said about her was right. She realized all this time she always lived as her force personality creation. People didn't have to say it, she knew it very well. She never tried to become herself who was actually weak and wanted to hide in someone embrace.

Her mind and heart began battling. In short, chaos happened inwardly. For example, a flash memory of her who killed someone came. She held her head and closed her eyes tight. She didn't want to remember, but it happened and she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't change the time. Another example, she suddenly missed her mother, father, and Daniel.

Halting her tear and trembling lips, she didn't want to cry, so she looked up to prevent the tear falling down. The wolf glanced down and found it surprising she became very quiet, yet abruptly, he heard her snapped, "You know what? Screw it! You don't like me, fine! I'm faking to be nice, I'm a fake! For what? So you would like me just like you said! At least like this, I will not die because of you. I don't know you are a real demon or just a talking wolf! I'm freaking don't care! I'm not sure if I can trust your promises! And I don't know when I will die at any moment! What's wrong to be nice? And let me tell you once again, do you know what I've had been through in this past few days?? So, I also have a reason to do that! And one more thing that I didn't say before, I rather die than becoming your slave! Come on! Just kill me, right now, you stupid dog!!" Panting, her emotion became unstable, her face was red and her tear fell without she realized.

The wolf turned around to her and made her startled. Her furiousness was being pressed down shrunk. She literally bit her own lips not to freak out again.

He bent down his head and taking a closer look to her face. Sarah rigidly standing and avoided his head. Then, she felt something on her palms. "Hold it." He said with a muffled voice. She opened her eyes and looked at the fruit.

"Since, when did you?" She asked confusingly as she lifted her head and looked at the wolf in the eyes.

"I searched it when you suddenly lost in your thought again. You are hungry but you made a big fuss about it, so stop being a crybaby. I didn't say you're fake in personal. I mean your attitude towards me now. I rather you act normal to me. You don't have to force yourself. If my words offending you, well, it's my bad." Actually, it wasn't hard to guess her intention. Her sudden change tone, her rate heartbeat when lying, he could hear and feel all of that. And when she tried to the apology with a sweet tone, her growling stomach, her body who kept sitting although he already said she should find the food by herself, and her head which kept turning around. He had a hunch she would then ask him for help or in her dictionary to 'use' him.

So, before she asked her coward request, he already shut her down her words. He knew it was kind of rude, but he didn't like 'how' she did it. Despite trying to ignore, he could hear her stomach growling again, and it made him irritated. Because he didn't want her to be dragging him in the journey later, he would help her this once. Just this once!

Sarah bit the apple and munching it like a hamster. She sat down and glanced time to time to the wolf who kept gazing at her. "Happy?" He said.

"..." Munching without any comment. She asked herself, why she was so emotional? Agh! So embarrassing. Gulping the food, she stated hoarsely, "Mr. Wolf, you're a good demon, huh. I've said bad things about you, yet you didn't kill me? You are... really we- I mean different."

'Stupid dog, huh.' He thought about the new nickname he got from her, he didn't care about that except for this one comment. "Me? Good demon? Don't make me laugh..." He tried to remember when he first arrived in the human world when he killed almost entire 10.000 armies of a human soldier, he also killed some people who discovered his human face. Whether it was man or woman. He didn't hate human, he just didn't want to involve with them. Of course, he did that because he had a reason. His motto was, if they attack him, he would attack them back.

But it slowly changed when he met this friend of his. He began more and more careful around the human, especially when killing it. He didn't want to face another battling 10.000 humans ever again.

'You should focus and don't be distract to surround.' His friend said that to the wolf. He said that at that time due to him being killing a lot of humans and almost forgot about his purpose coming to this human world. Sighing, the wolf definitely missed this human friend.

The scent shape was forming her head and he saw her nodding at his words. Thinking about his attitude was over childish by giving her a slave status plus considering her overreact, he told her with an obvious tone, "Hey, you have questions, right? And you also don't like me to call you a slave?"

Her eyes lighten up, was he suddenly opened his heart? She thought. She replied, "Yes and yes! Please change it! How about sidekick? It's like an assistant who always helped you."

He tried to consider these words with slave words, it really had a better positive meaning. He mumbled, "Sidekick..." He tried to recall what was the meaning of this word. His friend once taught him a few common words.

Hearing his mumbling, she got excited, "I mean I'm going to become your 'eyes' anyway. But, there was a slight problem, what exactly I've to do like your 'eyes'?"

Finally understanding the word, he elaborated, "As I said, you're going to see what I couldn't see. I don't know if you remember, but I could only see the shape of scent or smells of something or someone. So, I need you, especially when we are going to deal with a human, to see and to tell me their expression."

She blinked her eyes as if she heard his words wrong, "Eh? Is that it? How about colors? Can you see it?"

"Yes, that's only it. And yes, I can still see colors. But, I couldn't see the sky color changing. Usually, I depended on instinct or breeze, to determine what time it is." He explained with his deep voice. Well, it was a half truth and half lie.

"... alright then. Umm, can I ask you something? What's your purpose going to the kingdom?"

"If I ask you the same question, will you tell me?"

"Eh?" He knew she was planning to go there as well? Was he reading her mind? "...Uhh...No." She said hesitatingly, hoping he didn't get mad. How could she tell him that she was actually not from this world and she was trying to find a way to go back to her home.

Nodding to her answer, he didn't ask further, he retorted back, "Then that's my answer too."

Dead-Silence.

Munching the apple once again, she didn't comment back, "..."

"..."

Coughing from the apple, she almost choked from the fruit she ate. Her slight tear fell, she asked, "Umm, another question. Will you forever keep me as your sidekick or temporary until we arrive in the Haocun Kingdom?"

Sighing deeply, he wanted to say the latter not as a sidekick, but as his wife. He truly wanted to say it! But, his mind blocking his heart! So, instead, he gave her an ambiguous answer, "... We'll see. By the way, let's get going. We've been talking for an hour here. Finish eating?"

Hearing his statement, it made her confused once again. How could she escape from him? He could tell her lie and he had this strong power within him. So, her last option was to kill him with her sword again? But then, she remembered about her last analysis that he could stop her power. Agh! Why?!

Responding to his question, she nervously answered, "Eh? Y-Yeah."

"Then, hop on" This time he didn't force her to get on, he let herself climb to his back. Sarah was being careful not to make a mistake. She rode on his back and feeling the sensation when he stood up from the ground.

"Don't add much pressure when holding, I almost couldn't breathe before." He advised her which let her guard down. She embarrassingly, let down her head and muttered 'okay' silently. He then began heading once again into the forest.
