The humble Mr Gill

"Haa... haaa...haaa"

"Wait! wait! I can't anymore! I don't even feel my leg anymore"

Rema looks back. The creatures are not following them anymore. They don't know where they are ,but they can feel that they have gotten pretty far from that place.

REMA: Sou... we should rest a little bit. I am also pretty tired.

SOU: Got it. DR Ren... let me check your right foot.

DR Ren's foot has gotten worse. It has swollen and has a bluish colour. It is also spreading very fast. At this rate ,it can endanger Ren's life. Dr Ren also have a high fever.

SOU : Rema ! exactly how much food you have with you? I did't bring with me any.

REMA: Well plenty for two days. But after that I can't say anything. Ummm... well we don't have enough water.

SOU : DR Ren's condition is not good. He is starting loose consciousness. We have to find a human locality. But after observing the surrounding , I don't think there's any near here. Let's first fine a riverbank like place. We have our camping materials. There you can watch over Ren and I will go to find any information.

REMA : Nng.. okay. I also don't feel this forest safe. I can feel that there can be many dangerous beast we don't know about.

SOU : Let's move on. It will be better if we can find the safe place before the night falls. DR Ren ! Come , I will give a piggyback ride..

DR REN : Sou... Rema... I am very sorry for the trouble...

REMA : DR what are you talking about! It is a kind of my fault that you are in this situation.

SOU : It's no one's fault. We just have to be together and everything will be fine.

Sou carries Ren in his back and starts to walk in the front. Rema follows her. In times like this, Sou always acts like a brave leader and proves how intelligent and decisive he is. Rema can feel how trustworthy Sou is.

They don't know how much time has spent. They can't find a way in this vast forest. Their compass is also not working. Dr Ren has already passed out.His breath is unsteady and he is gasping very fast. The sun is also setting. Sou is starting to feel dehydrated as he did't drink a drop of water.

SOU : Rema! can you pass the water bottle?

" Rema! Rema....??"

REMA : Huuuhh... ohhh..yeah . Take it.

Rema is staring back of her. Like she is trying to find something in this darkness.

SOU : What happened? Is something wrong?

REMA : No.. may be my imagination. But I fell like something is stalking us for sometime .

SOU : What can it be? Anyway , we have to stay alert.

The moment they start walking, Rema can feel that gaze again. Suddenly Sou notices that the roots of a tree are crawling on the ground. Like a horde of snakes . As if the roots are forming limbs. Sou gets shocked and does't get any idea what to do in this situation. Rema screams in fear. In a few moments , the tree forms limbs and a human face is carved in the center of the huge trunk.

" Hmmmph... Don't get scared ,my little fellow"

" Run!!.. Rema! run as fast as you can"

" Huhh! wait... don't be scared! I am vegetarian and I don't hurt little fellows"

SOU : Really?

REMA : Can you get anymore stupid ? you are actually believing it!

" No ! really. I will not you all. My name is Gill. I am a resident of LA VOLLY forest community. I only came here to drink soil sap in the afternoon. Then I noticed you all. I wanted to talk to you as it is not safe here for you humans in night ."
