Chapter : 11. Alice mental condition

Eldric seeing Alice condition he ask "Are you feeling ok now."

To which she replied from her dazed, " what did you just ask?feeling ok !.... After being rape you ask feeling ok .... After being humiliated you are asking me are you ok ..?"

"I... " To her continuous complaint, Eldric word got on his tongue.

Seeing Eldric not responding to her she again asked " did you also have your way with my body too? is it because I slapped you?" With a defeated look and hoarse tone.

Hearing it Eldric felt really annoyed and angry this time.

So he bent down and slapped her on the face, with that he got an eye from her. so he again slapped her .... Then again and again.

After that he said to the stun girl, "One for slapping me, one as fines. other one my income for labour that is, saving you the last for your fold mouth."

Receiving those slaps she regains her senses and hearing his words she shouts, "Payment what payment are you saying that you, an unknown man that does not have any relationship with me come to save.. me. me... Even the one I love didn't come and you are telling me you, the one that is supposed to hate me come for me...." Her frustration were all being released towards Eldic.

Crying she keeps complaining, To this Eldic sigh " It's all over now you don't need to worry, nothing happened to you. I garenty nothing happen to you. You can cry, I will be here to withstand your anger and frustrations so tell me everything, as for today I'm going to listen to everything you have to say."

Hugging her he said that. She resisted first but hearing Eldric words she cried out loud hugging him tightly.

With snort, saliva, mixed with tears Alice was sleeping in Eldric embrace" She just woke you and now she sleeps again.!"eldric said that out loud to witch Alice flince a bit.

She wasn't really sleeping but was now really embarrassed and guilty towards Eldric to face him now. she was the only to slap him, she was the one who framed him without any proof, she is also the one who cried her snort out on his arms.

Knowing that Alice is ashamed, Eldric put her down laying her on the ground covering her up with his shirt and he deliberately kisses her forehead, "Stay still I will search for some fruit to eat." As his storage ring doesn't fit much and time doesn't stop there only clothes and some material were put in it.

Saying that he left, that when Alice abruptly woke up gasping air and holding her hearth, "Why is my heart pounding soo much and why did he kiss me."

Musing all this she was shy and happy only for a while until the scene slapped her, " What a slut am i , what will he think of me . First I like Auther , then another man got my body. now, I change my interest in him isn't this the correct nature of slutty brings."

Saying all this to herself she sighs " What can I do now? fall in love... nah I have no right anymore, but i should support them even though Auther didn't come for me he must have reasons. so, I won't be mad at him and Eldric he.. for him I think i will do anything."

After a while, they eat some fruits. And both Eldric and Alice wearing new set of clothes that edric give her form his ring. They walk together towards the academy direction.

"So what happened back there?" asked Alice.

"Nothing much I came at the right time, save you and some others then we ran.. But why did they treat you differently." asked eldric recalling the event were instead of the women in the cage they treat roughly with Alice.

"Don't know, maybe I talk too much and they found out my family background. so, they were gonna blackmail my father for the others they don't want to damage the sale." Mutter Alice while looking down.

"Oh!" Eldic didn't say much. After that there was an award silent between them.

That was where Alice can't bear it. so she asked," will they be waiting for us ..?"

"Who..?. Oh! you mean them. nono... i told them to move on without me until we cross path we won't meet them." Said eldric as he knows she refering to Raven and the others.

"Um that's ok I guess. So, we are alone going together?"

"Yeah."

After walking a whole day they reach a village entrance, going in they walk and search for Raven and other but can't find them so both of them rent two room staying there they eat some and rest.

"I am going out, will you come." Ask eldric opening the door of Alice room. Where she is sitting on her bed.

"No I need time, i guess I don't want to be in a crowded place."

Said Alice as she just wanted to be alone. Not wanting to interact with people but she also regretted saying that coz she is sacred to be lived alone.

Understanding Alice state of mind Eldic said" I will hold your hand until you can sleep. Then I will go out."

"Watt..!!"She tries to shout but Eldric holds her hand that gives her dajevu making a shiver run down her spine, to which Eldic's hold gets tied. " you don't need to worry I am here."

Hearing him say that her emotions got better and she slept holding him.

After a while Eldric remove his hand waking out slowly and close the door.

Wen Eldric is gone Alice opens her eyes looking at the door for a while then she takes the blanket near her covering her entire body and coddling herself in conner.

Eldic outside the inn, he started searching for Raven and others after not finding clues he went to the market to stroll around. He looked around the market while asking some questions to a nearby stand.

"Sir are there any nearby villages around this area, "asked eldric showing a map to a nearby seller.

"Oh there is! here- here- here- and here-" said the man pointing to some locations to which Eldric analysis that this village is little fathar then some others so Raven much be on other nearby villages or they much have moved on. "hah we miss I need to travel some more distance to reach them. I should have learned to use the map first,

whatever i told them to just move so they won't stop till they reach school it's not like I mind or Raven she knows me well enough to put faith in me so she might not be worried about me being injured."

Thinking so Eldric went back to the inn when her tried to open his door he heard sobbing sound form Alice room so he picked up his pace, opened the door without even asking, getting inside he found Alice having nightmares.

He regrets leaving her in her state. So he went near her, set down by her side and stocked her head and hand which made her a little comfortable.

"Sigh it's gonna be a long day."
