2. Was Bitten by a Snake

Elsewhere, Nafisah pressed her body well to Nasmira's side. The weather was really very cold and made Nafisah's body numb, Nafisah was very sleepy but her feet were very cold and needed a warmth. Hugging Nasmira even more, because Nasmira was soundly asleep because she was embraced by their unconscious classmate and Rosebell.

As for Adell and Steve, they were by the campfire and sleeping with their guns in their hands. Luckily Steve and Adell were wearing very thick jackets and two-layer pants. at least they weren't cold ..

Nafisah tried to close her eyes but still couldn't, put her shoe-wrapped feet into the leaves which became a blanket for them at this time. Nafisah does not know why, but her body is now over-testifying .. Nafisah should not feel cold anymore, but why her legs can shiver?

Nafisah let go of her hug to Nasmira, then woke up from her sleep. Slowly, Nafisah lifted her leg which was still wrapped in a shoe, opened the laces of her right shoe .. But her shoe felt very sticky with the sock stuck to the toe of the shoe. Nafisah trying to let go, but still can't ..

Finally, Nafisah put her feet back in her shoes and tied them back up, Nafisah could not stand the cold weather which made her feel dizzy ...

Nafisah tried to get up and walked slowly towards the fire, but her legs felt sore .. the movement was very painful and it felt like something was slimy when Nafisah put her foot to walk. What's in his leg? Nafisah thought that felt strange .. But Nafisah just kept walking towards the fire. Steve, who felt someone's movement, immediately woke up and looked back. When he saw Nafisah, Steve immediately smiled.

"Here, sit near me so you don't get cold". Steve said, Nafisah obeyed and sat next to Steve. The campfire made Nafisah much warmer, but not the soles of her feet. "What's wrong with you? Your face is so pale? Do you know because this forest is dark?". Asked Steve, who did know that Nafisah is afraid of the dark.

"No Steve, I'm not afraid because you guys are here. But the soles of my feet feel a little weird, like there is something sticky underneath. I tried to open my shoes but couldn't because my socks were stuck to the toes of the shoes". Nafisah's words made Steve think for a moment, trying to remember what happened to Nafisah's leg.

"Can I take off your shoes?". Asked Steve.

"It's okay, but sorry if it smells". Nafisah said with a laugh, Nandra just laughed and helped Nafisah to open her shoelaces. When Steve wanted to open the toes of her shoes, it was true ... Nafisah's socks stuck to the toes of her shoes. Steve pointed the flashlight at Nafisah's feet, and how shocked Steve was when he saw that there was a large leech in Nafisah's socks ...

"There is a leech that is big enough on your feet Nafisah, but you are calm ... don't panic, I'll try to pull the leech". Steve said, who had tried to calm Nafisah. Nafisah, who heard Steve's words, of course, had cold sweat and felt her legs so strange. Leeches suck blood, so from earlier the blood on Nafisah's feet was sucked? No wonder Nafisah is getting cold and feeling a little pain.

Steve took a nearby Branch and pulled the leech in Nafisah's sock, a little hard but Steve tried hard. until the leech fell on the shoe and Steve immediately pulled the shoe out of Nafisah's leg ...

seeing Nafisah's socks which were already stained with blood and slightly swollen, Steve helped Nafisah to remove her socks. Nafisah's feet were pale and very cold, the blood that the leech sucked must be a lot. Steve took back Nafisah's shoes and took out the leech which was big enough then burned it with the campfire.

Adell, who was disturbed by Steve's movements, finally woke up and saw to the side that there was Nafisah between them.

"Why?" Asked Adell who was still sleepy.

"At the feet of Nafisah are leeches." Steve said softly.

"Leeches? Then how about your feet now Nafisah?". Asked Adell who immediately looked at Nafisah.

"A little sore and cold". Nafisah wanted to cry, not because of the leech on her feet. but because she feels suddenly lonely .. Breathless if she already feels pain or pain, then she needs lullaby or uncle's hug. But there were no them here and Nafisah felt lonely to make her heart sad and wanted to cry.

"Calm down, don't cry .. you'll be fine". Said Adell, who had patted Nafisah's head with a smile, Nafisah nodded in understanding.

"Are we going back to the back of the school now or in the morning?" Steve asked Adell.

"Like tomorrow morning, the others are sleeping soundly, so ...".

"Ahhh ... what is this, what animal is this ...". Adell's words were cut short when he heard Rose's scream. the three of them immediately got up and saw it.

There was a snake coming out of the leaves at Rose's feet, Steve was surprised and immediately got rid of the leaves there. Nasmira was awake with a shock along with their seniors who seemed confused looking around.

"do you got bitten ?". asked Steve.

"Yes, my feet". Said Rose, who had shown her legs. Indeed, there was a trace of blood and snake bites, Steve who saw it was quite surprised and began to pull the scarf Steve was wearing and tie Rose's calf, so that the poison would not spread rapidly in the other direction.

"Inhale and exhale slowly, don't panic .. calm down, it wasn't the snake that killed its poison. We can still heal yourself with some medicine". Rose nodded, Nasmira immediately got up from her sleep and stood beside Nafisah. "Adell, Nafisah, Nasmira .. you are looking for a wild plant whose leaves are yellow and have small white flowers. Or a creeping plant that smells good .. those two plants can prevent the poison from spreading .. come on, I need your help". They nodded to Steve's speech, Nafisah immediately took a flashlight and was followed by Adell and then Nasmira. the three of them had started walking into the bush and looking for what steve asked.

"Steve, my head feels dizzy". Said Rose who was already holding her head.

"Calm down .. you'll be fine, stay aware so we know your condition". Said Steve who was already looking for two stones around him.

"Why can I be with you? I remember being ganged up on by some new students". Said their seniors who were still sitting confused looking at Steve and the others.

"We found you passed out, and we took the initiative to take you with us." said Steve, but his gaze did not go to his senior. but on Rose's injured leg ...

The senior nodded and understood what happened.
