The White Man
The Black FearChapter 8
The White Man
The rain was becoming more and more dense, beating with vehemence on my skin.
The more worrying wound, the head's one, for the moment was seconded by memories of my companions, even if it was plucked insistently by them.
The little blood that flowed by it was immediately eliminated, clearing my face, giving me a slight satisfaction.
At that point, with determination, I threw "the object of the past" (a rock) against a resistant trees, near there.
I felt an intense disappointment to it.
Mckenna, my best friend, had changed.
It was too late to relive that moment, acting in accordance with the instinct.
I had to defend myself from her attack, but i cared about her a lot, so I didn’t.
I wanted to help her to think
But did not realize that the jealousy was eating her little by little
A feeling very complicated
Unable to correct
Unable to stop
I was still in the same position, trying to see something useful
I pointed my eyes front, framing the area better
Those damn drops blinded me, but something caught my attention.
It was like a refuge, particularly founded.With no hesitation, I chose to get up and go for those few meters away
Walking slowly, supporting me in various places, hoping to be able to find the right property that it could protect me.
§§§
When I reached it, I was impressed of its beauty and depth particularly important:It was a natural cave derived from the corrosion and erosion of rocks,
in this case, constituted by gypsum.
It was not very high, but enough deep
Also it was mainly structured by this type of rock clear, almost transparent, that covered it entirely, creating a very soft light.
For a few moments I was impaled, watching it as if I were looking at the ocean.
I was enchanted by its form pungent, fiery and impressive, so much so that I wanted to savor the sight and touch it.
In fact, I touched it, perceiving the temperature stable conformation and the rough and broken.
I found it was perfectly cozy.
So, I decided to sit at the edge of it, having the right amount of oxygen and the ability to more easily reach the plants that surrounded it necessary for care my wound.
In no time, I used it, thanks to the advice given by Lay, after which saved me from the dangerous.
He had begged me to apply those techniques if I had just been in a similar situation
Luckily it was exactly what I did
I took various types of vegetation, choosing the ones suitable to the problem, using them with great precision.
When I had finished, I went further into the cave, to have a more secure shelter, waiting for the pain to fade quietly
I then took off my sweatshirt, closing on myself, waiting for the arrival of someone.
§§§
The landscape, though it was completely fizzled from that terrible day, it turned out relaxing and welcoming, perhaps thanks to that wonderful retreat.
In short, I was really happy to have spent those hours inside of it, but the desire to return home, reviewing my family and friends was far greater.
I studied nature for a long time, and I was really proud of it, but I was not the type of person to deal with unexpected eventualities.
Look but do not touch
Observe but do not live there
This was the exact concept that encompassed my life
For this reason, someone had come and take me away
Not because it was not to my taste, indeed quite the opposite, it was
But, because courage was not my strong point
On the contrary, Lay, this was his world
He knew him so exceptional and manlyknew how to navigate.
In fact, he particularly liked that job
Although Mckenna didn't know
I had not yet explained that the two of us we knew a long time ago
This troubled me for the simple fact that she had interest for him
As soon as she knew she was struck
But now the situation had deteriorated, no longer having the ability to hide
The only people who would not want to reveal what were the team
First of all because it had nothing to do, especially the nosy guide, Siwon
Surely I would take it around the whole trip
The clown would never understand anything
On this we all agreed
Me, Lay and Mckenna and also somebody else, like Han ...
While I meditated on them, I stopped in front of my eyes the image that still did not change
Because there was at least one of them out there?
Because no one was rescue?
Maybe it was too early to tell?
Suddenly saw something of light next to a tree, quite far from me
It did not seem an animal
Seemed to be human
"My wish has come true!"
I thought anxiously, raising his arms in the air
I looked better, still a little 'disbelief, watching from top to bottom:
He was motionless, and was staring at me for a few minutes
He did not give the impression that he was watching me, but rather that he was protecting me
At that point, stunned, I decided to stand up, out of the cave with a firm step
"HEY!"
I spoke aloud
"ARE YOU LAY?
I AM HYLLARY!
HEY "
I screamed as I could, hoping he approached me.
But after a few moments, I saw him vanish into thin air, retreating into the woods
"NO, DO NOT LEAVE!"
I concluded, losing breath.
I was not sure it was really him, but I firmly believed in hope to meet him again
When he turned slightly, his hair seemed to be colored blond, together with garments that seemed white.
In that regard, I immediately came to mind that Lay hated so much that colour, so as not to wear it ever.
In addition, his hair was not blond, but brown
Therefore, the hypothesis could be that he was, it was completely eliminated
I thought about other people, but no one ... not even the team wore white robes in the woods
It would have been foolish
The initial explanation of the guide, said that in addition to our group, there would be no one, since it was a weekday
But here, the situation was starting to stink
Who was he?
If, however, we were not the only ones?
If here lived other people?
The doubts were beginning to grow
§§§
After restoring the position taken previously, I was for quite a while 'gaze into space in search of a thought, which did not refer again to the boy, pausing to rather fond memories of the past, they would have certainly helped me through that bad time.
I kept thinking about it all night, while the lightning became more and more frequent and deafening, waiting for the sky stop crying for me
Then I fell into the deepest sleep
