14. Rachel's Cunning

"Hey, woman who doesn't know herself. Since we live here our life is peaceful and peaceful without any hindrances and sad events. but since your presence, we have to admit that this village is like getting a curse from the King of Heaven. We always get successive calamities and it's not even rare for us to see some residents die so miserably like now. We believe that foreigners like you are to blame. Not native of this village. You gave birth to a child without a husband and you had to be left by your child because of your own doing. Now that everyone is gone, you still dare to act. Are you tired of living so that you violate our rules and beliefs? You know if there is thunder during the day it means that a wish from a holy person has come true. You also know that there will be another flash of lightning that will strike one of the villagers if we get out before it's time for it to appear? but why did you purposely go out of your house and invite us to come meet you guys? if it wasn't for you who deliberately made the farmers miserable I'm sure we would still be at home and this man wouldn't have just died horribly now."

Sofia just shook her head in disbelief at what she was currently experiencing. She didn't expect that she would be in trouble with the villagers. She also never thought that Rachel, the cat she helped, would actually get herself in trouble and be threatened with expulsion from the village.

Rachel, who initially tried to anger the residents, now changed her strategy. She got down and rubbed her head on the feet of the residents and tried to persuade them not to be angry with Sofia's actions.

"Please don't be mad at her. It is my fault. I asked Abigail to leave the house. but do you know? I never knew that there are beliefs that you believe in for generations. Abi didn't say anything about it. Of course she might have forgotten. I'm sure she forgot."

"Shut up, you cat doesn't know yourself! I don't need any words from you anymore. From the beginning I never thought that you would pay attention to me. I never thought that a small creature like you could act as honest as you are now. I know I was wrong for not reminding you of the beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation by the villagers about the second thunderbolt. I'm the stupid one for following all your wishes just because I already feel uncomfortable because I can't grant requests to be able to return to being human in general. But that doesn't mean you can just slander me like now. You are a shy beauty who always attracts people and would never hate you because of that time which was truly unbelievably beautiful. But who would have thought that behind the beauty? It turns out there is rottenness that you keep and that is very unfortunate. No. All beings are created in a perfect form like you. You should be more able to take advantage of the situation for something that can bring meaning to other people. instead of making the challenges of life to be destroyed have no meaning at all. Do you think that when I get kicked out by them I will just leave my house and you are free to be there? won't. I will stay in my house even if they kill me."

Rachel, who had been feeling cornered by Sorry, finally jumped out of the woman's arms and ran into the crowd of residents who were still busy watching the fight between them. with deception Rachel then tries to seek protection from the residents who are currently angry with Sofia.

"Do you know how to get me to be in this village? you guys know this woman has tried to harm me and insult me ​​too miss? She did. Why do you have to be responsible? swear to you that I came out of that house because she asked me."

"That's enough. You don't need to worry. If he doesn't want to accommodate you in his house, you can be mine with us. My family will be happy when they see a beautiful cat like this who can talk.'

Rachel pretended to be sad. With unsteady steps she approached the person who was currently standing while trying to reach out her hand to lift her small body. She immediately jumped up and in a very short time was in the arms of the man who had been saying harsh words to Sofia.

" Am I really going to get a place to stay? I know I was wrong. I also know I'm ugly. But do I not have the right to be happy?"

"Not. You really have a chance for that. Come to my house and we will be very happy to have you."

"But I have nothing, Uncle. How can I repay you for being kind to me?"

"You don't have to think that. Honey, take this cat in. I and several residents will take care of this corpse.

"OK, my dear husband."

The woman who had been standing next to the man who was currently carrying Rachel immediately reached out to take over the cat's body and walked away leaving the residents who were still looking at Sofia with sharp eyes.

"What shall we do with this woman, sir? She had tried several times to cause trouble in this village. Do you still deserve to be one of the citizens that you protect?"

The village head looked at Sofia for a moment. He had been in love with this woman for a long time, but Sofia never responded to his feelings. He thought that this was the time when he could have a beautiful woman who had become the target of the men in his village. This is the time when he can prove to everyone that he is the only man who deserves to bring Sofia to her knees under his power.

"Drag her and imprison her in the dungeon! I will deter her and not have any strength even to lift her face."

"Yes sir."

All residents approached Sofia's body which was still in place. Sofia never thought that she would be insulted by the people she considered as her closest relative. Before the men's hands touched her body, suddenly a white smoke appeared from the ground and covered Sofia, making everyone step back.
