Chapter 246: One-footed Step

Fur remained daze after the incident. His face only see how the old man got shredded. His face grew pale and he started to vommit. He can watch the thrilling movies nor horror film but seeing somone being torn in pieces was beyond gross and imagination.

He can smell the flesh and blood that was torn in pieces. He can rewind it everytime in his mind. The flash back got frequent and he felt like he losed it all.

He is just a fresh graduate and is suppose to attend a job interview but was got caught in the delima and this people just thought it was normal to see someone got butchered in his front. Even the woman he has a crush on was stronger than himself. She even got injured to protect him. Her blood that was spilled in his palm from securing him reeks and it tormented him. He is being traumatized. Fur haven't eaten and just remained in the tent. Ain would gave him the food and would try to talk to him but his mouth were patched.

Kiel heared the concern and he is unable to think of something to comfort the foreign man. Ophir suggested that Lila should be the one to speak to him but Kiel disagreed. That young man might recall what happened and would make it worse. Kiel clench his jaw when Nevi commented he is just making up excuses since he is a very jealous husband but Kiel can't deny it as well.

Kiel watch Lila try to wipe the hole left by the both moth. He took the towel and wiped it for her.

"What should we do that kid seem to have mentally got disected?" Kiel questioned.

"What did the others said?" Lila asked back.

"None, they just said that you should talk to him." Kiel replied as he gently wiped and blow on her wounds.

Lila felt like it was a sign not to agree since his possessive nature is lurking.

"Well, I think that was... something off... I mean what if the kid's thought got worse for seeing me?" Lila replied.

"Yeah, but what if you are able to help him?" Kiel suggested.

Lila looked back to Kiel and blink her eyes.

"Just help him but don't entertain him." Kiel firmly whispered.

Lila just nodded nervously.

Ophir volunteered to check on Fur. When he opened the curtain he found him cowering by the corner.

"This is your meal. Come and eat or else I will have to fed you." Ophir warned but Fur started screaming frantically.

Ophir panicked and covered his mouth.

"Don't shout the kids will get scared."

Fur start to tear up and gestured Ophir to remove his palm over his mouth.

Ophir did not mean to scare him but he was wrong.

"Sorry, we are worried that you might die in hunger. Please eat, after that I want to show you something."

Fur forced himself to eat and gobbled the food to brush of the flesh of the old man that floated mid air and the blood splatted in his body.

When he finished the food Ophir surveyed the outside part of the tent.

Ophir escorted Fur to a hill they found.

"Come and look at the wind." Ophir invited.

Fur raised a brow not knowing what is this man talking about.

When Fur followed his steps the winds swayed from right to left and the grass revealed a vast white flowers. It was like a cloud planted in the ground.

"My wife love white flowers. It does not matter what kind of flower it was as long as it's white. I... I wanted to show this to her but she is not with us." Ophir muttured.

Fur felt a sudden peace settled in hi heart and realised that what he saw was just one life being taken. But how about this people who kindly took him in? How many people have they witnessed being killed and slaughtered in their face? Fur shut his eyes and is ready to open up about himself.

"This will surely make her heart flatter. I.. on the other hand never seen something like this. Our place only had structures, building and technical resources. I never swam on the river like we did nor joined any camping trip. I lived my life hurled in the walls my parent's desire and dreams for me. I even forgotten what I want to be. It's strange those who did not yearn some adventure are the one who recieves it."

Ophir nodded his head and answered.

"Then aren't you special to see something that only you can see?"

Fur chuckled and said.

"Thanks that helped. I used to love watching apocalypse movies but when I saw what happened to the old man... it made my knees feeble and weak. I was scared to death. I thought i would get mentally wrecked but thanks."

Ophir sent the signal and everyone joined them for a picnic. Lila approach Fur and bowed her head.

"I am sorry for letting you see something like that but I am glad that your finally well."

Fur scratch the back of his head and admitted.

"Yeah, sorry for being coward. I could have been the one receiving that attack but you protected me. Thank you very much and sorry for making your husband jealous. But I will keep looking up to you since you are worth to be respected."

Lila and Fur started laughing and Fur regained himself to be in tune with the others. Kiel thanked Ophir's move.

"I knew it, you would put Lila in a scary position. Your such a jealous husband." Ophir argued.

Kiel just blushed and did not even denied which made the gang laugh at their leader.

Fur can summarized this as a good job he landed in. It's to stretch out the resources he can do at the moment. Fur wonders how will his painting ability will be applied? He sat on the plain and started to sketch the scene.
