Mystery in the forest

Luna slowly walked towards the forest as she felt a pull like something was calling her into the forest, she turned back ti the palace one last time time before finally entering the forest where she finds the fight scene from earlier clean, there wasn’t even any blood stain on the floor just pieces of cloth.

She was about to get suspicious of how everything turned out to be but decided to blame the disappearance of everything on the wild animals that lived and roamed the forest, she turned her stare back to the palace as though she was planning to return there when she turned back again to the pull she felt calling her inside the forest,

She really wanted to postpone whatever was calling her till another time but Luna was very known for her thirst of always wanting to quench her curiosity.

She paced slowly and carefully towards whatever she felt pulling her when he nose caught a very extra ordinary scent and decided to follow it deep into the forest.

And to he surprise it landed on a person who was laying on the floor looking tattered with on few clothes on him and his skin seemed like something that wild animals had played widely with.

“Who are you!” She nervously called out to the stranger but he didn’t bother moving all he did was breath in and out heavily.

She was about running back to the palace to call for help when the stranger suddenly whispered.

“Help me…food..I…I might die.” He murmured trigggering Luna emotion from within.

“What happened to you??” Luna asked moving closer to the stranger and just as her hand touched his chest she felt something that made her pull back immediately.

He..he was human, he was a human whom must have fell victim of a wandering wolf, and he was dying.

“Water…I need water.” He said to Luna who suddenly felt scared and stood up immediately.

“I would be back with water and food just be strong and don’t die.” Luna said to him and without waiting for a reply ran off back to the palace but as she got closer her pace suddenly ecause slower and quieter.

One thing was for sure to Luna, Blake mustn’t find out she was trying to help a human who she knew nothing about and the guards but also not find out or else the words would get to the ears of Blake and that won’t be good.

She hurriedly sneaked into the palace and ran to the kitchen as it was filled with different amount of food, she picked up a bag nearby and filled it up with food that contained the whole bag.

After making sure she had packed all the necessities needed for the stranger including a first aid box she ran out of there but unknown to her, Maya was just stepping out of her room to have a glass of water to calm herself while the other men and Blake went out to find Luna again when she saw Luna, she couldn’t believe it..the same woman they were searching for was standing right there trying to sneak away.

Luna quietly sneaked back out of the palace, she ran as fast as her leg could take her back to the forest and found te stranger still laying helpless on the floor.

She dropped everything she had with her and immediately help this guan stranger to seat as she fed him the food she had just stolen away from the palace, the minute the human saw the abundance of different food he suddenly had the energy and began eating everything and for the first time he replied Luna.

“Do you like it, the maids were already asleep so I couldn’t get you something hot to eat.” Luna said to the stranger who smiled.

“It’s fine…thank you so much I thought you won’t return.” The human said to Luna who smiled… er eyes jut couldn’t leave his body and she felt herself being so pulled towards the stranger who was busy eating to gain more strength.

“What is your name?” Luna subconsciously asked.

“Ethan, my name is Ethan.”he replied, returning to his food that he continued to savor while Luna silently admired him despite how tattered he looked.

“My name is Luna.” She said to him, she slowly began to feel comfortable in Ethan presence when she saw the sun slowly rising.

“Oh no!! It almost morning!!” She exclaimed frustration standing up to leave.

“Ethan, I need to leave just find a place to hide till I come back to get you tonight.” Luna replied, Ethan nodded affirmative to her words before she ran off, and sneaked back into the palace, she ran towards he chambers unknown to her that Blake had already went around the territory searching for her,

Where have you been?” Luna jumped back in fright to see Blake sitting front of her room calmly as his stared at her kinly.

“I went for a strol.” She replied about to walk away but Blake pulled her back.

“ that was a very long strolling you did there.” Blake sarcastically replied making her know he didn’t believe any of the words that her came out of her mouth.

“I am serious, my bone became stiff from signing all night long and I decided to go stretch it out and when I ran so I meant going around like a stroll.” Luna replied before walking out of Blake presence.

She heaved heavily after entering her chambers as she was happy Blake didn’t suspect a thing as her thought wandered back to Ethan who was all alone in the forest and most especially a land he knew nothing off.

He made the decision to go back by nightfall and check up on him with some and towards nightfall told her maid to make some extra food so by nightfall she packed them all and after making sure Blake was asleep she stepped out of the palace, but could feel someone following her.
