I had twisted my ankle. I tried so hard but i can’t move my leg. I got panicked. I already was late and now I can’t even move my leg . I was pretty sure I had losted my job. At this time, I am shattered and i want to cry.
Dragging my twisted leg I reach my bag and took out my phone. I opened the contacts and dial Anyee’s number. As expected there was no signal. Only ‘No network available ‘ will be shown each time I dialed her number.
I have no choice but to help myself on my own. I massaged my leg, it was so painful at first but gradually the pain decreased a little. I massaged my leg again and again . After a while I thought my leg was much better. So i got up and walked slowly down the hill.
There was only one and half hour left before the office hour to end and i was still at the top of the mountain. With my twisted leg, i knew i can’t reach office in time. But at least I have to go home. And it was going to take long before I reach the base of the mountain.
My leg was hurting but i kept walking despite the pain. When i reach the base of the mountain there were no bus. I went and wait at the bus stop but I couldn’t get a bus. I take a look at the schedule, the next bus from this village to the city was at 5:30pm, half hour later the office ends. Now there wasn’t a single hope left. I can’t do anything and not any miracle was going to save my job .
I sat there and waited for the bus to come. Now the job had gone there was no point of making the condition of my leg worser. I took out my phone and messaged Cami I may be late today. Obviously the message wasn’t sent instead it was put on hold to be sent after the network became available. Ikeep the phone in my bag and rested my head . I was so exhausted from the travel and the walk. Slowly slowly i started to feel my eyelids heavy and i got asleep at the bus stop.
___________
“Bang” my bag drop from the bench and I jolted awake. I looked around and shit i still am at the bus stop?? Hell, how can I fell asleep at this place. I looked at my phone and it was already 6 pm. Network was still not available. And my battry was draining.
The surrounding was getting darker and darker. I have missed my bus after losting my job. Wow.
I get up and started to walk towards the city. I have no other choice. The only way is to get signal before my battry goes down. I walked and walked but the city was so far. I was continuously checking my signal but I still couldn’t get any signal. I was starting to worry. There are no other villages near here. How could I reach home today ?
It was already dark now. I need to rely on the light of my phone to see the road ahead. There were no street lights here. I keep walking for god knows how long. I was so tired and i was regretting my sleep. I would have reached city by now if I hadn’t wait for that damn bus.
I was a little bit of scared because the road was so lone and there were jungle at both side. I was alone in this scary road. Last time when i was out at night, i saw something out of the world and I don’t want anything like that to happen.
I was moving as fast as i can. Then i felt some movement behind me. I turned around . I don’t saw anything behind me. I sighed in relief. Then i turned and started to walk again. After a few seconds i felt like something passed from right side. I quickly turned right only to find nothing. Again something moved at my back, then at right side again at left. That thing moved so fast i can’t even saw what is it. I would only saw a shadow moving and then when i turned that side i would only saw some bushes moving. I was scared to my death. What is this?
After a while a loud growl came behind me. When I turned back, this time there was a wolf. Not the one that I had met before it was a red wolf. It was smaller than that wolf . It was not beautiful at all instead it looked very scary. The fur of this wolf wasn’t smooth at all .
This is it. This is my end now. I backed a little all i wanted was to run away. I was so scared i got tears in my eye. I took a few steps back then turned back to run.
Before i could run there was a movement in front of me and a wolf came from tge dark shadow. I looked behind the wolf was there… this wolf was second one. There was not only one but two wolves here.
But I was wrong there were not only two but a lot of wolves. Wherever i turn, a wolf would came out the shadow. It was just like a movie scene the only difference was the heroine would be saved in the movie but not me.
One of the wolf came forward and i took my steps back. I was surrounded by many wolves. I was at the middle and i know I can’t run away alive.
I lost my balance and with a thud i fell on the ground. The wolf come towards me. He was so scary his red eyes looked like blood. The wolf was showing its teeth. It had sharp teeths. I was even scared seeing it caming towards me
“Howwuuuu” the wolf howled looking at the sky.
“howwwuuu”
“howwwuuu”
“howwwuuu”
Every wolf started to howl.
