Chapter 167: Memories_Part 2

He turned his eyes to her again. He stared at her for a long, silent moment, and slowly his lips curled up in humor. "You are the first human to ever speak to me like I am normal, little bunny. How adorable of a little thing."

"I am not little, and I am certainly not a bunny, young sir. I am Isabelle Dawson. What is your name?" she asked, her hazel eyes shining brightly from across the space between them.

He stared at her like he wasn’t going to answer, and then, after she began to part her lips to speak again, he told her.

"Rohan."

"Rohan..." she echoed with a nod of her head and a small smile. "Rohan, I like how it sounds. And I can spell it. Rohan, will you come home with me so I can tell Papa you saved me from those monsters? He will reward you with many gifts." She said seriously then showed a kind smile that made her cheeks round up.

The young man could not quite seem to believe the girl could still be kind and smile after everything she had just gone through. But then maybe little humans had not grown enough to sense danger, because this one certainly was clueless.

"Little one, can you come over here and help me with this?" said the young man as he lifted his arm, where he was halfway trying to tie a piece of clothing around it but couldn’t do it as he was weakened.

"Don’t stand, your ankle. Crawl," he ordered firmly when she began to attempt to stand.

The young girl had lived through a horror she could not imagine was possible, but waking up to see another human with her, who must have lived through the same horror as her, she thought it was best to stay with the person, as he was older than she was and would take her back to her mama, and they could treat him for saving her life from those monsters.

Her head felt so heavy on her that it took time to crawl to where he was sitting. It was when she was close to him that the girl realized he was sweating profusely even though it was cold inside the cave. There was blood on his body that made her gasp and move back for a moment, and then she muttered,

"You are hurt badly, Rohan," she said quietly, her large eyes that looked too big on her small face watching him.

"It’s not my blood. Tie this for me here," he instructed as he lifted his arm and showed her the end of the cloth he wanted her to tie.

She did as she was told, and then after that, she sat next to him and stared at his face, where there was sweat. Recalling how her mother used to wipe away her sweat when she had a fever, Belle moved closer and used her sleeve to wipe at his forehead.

He jerked his head back as if surprised, but then, after a moment of contemplation, he moved closer and allowed her to wipe it for him.

"Do all little humans have the same large eyes like yours?" came his question that made the girl pull back to sit down, and then she pouted and looked away from him.

"Humans? Why do you keep saying that when you are also one?" she asked, and without waiting for his reply, her eyes began to fill with tears again.

"Those monsters, are they still outside this place? Will they attack us if we leave?"

She moved closer to him as if she felt safe and protected being close to him, while she warily stared at the entrance of the cave.

"Are you scared of them?" he asked, and she shuddered even before she answered the question.

"I do not like them. They are monsters." She moved closer to him and laid her head against his arm to rest her heavy head. She was still staring at the entrance of the cave when she felt the young man next to her swirling a curl of her hair around his finger, playing and touching it like he had never seen anything like that before.
