Chapter 16 - Light in the dark

AUTHOR'S POV

"Uhh! Not again..!" He says out of frustration and slams his hand on a tree, as one more deer escapes from his arrow. A tall middle aged man with strong body and determined gaze ,but there was warmth in his eyes and smile.

"Who told you to hunt here...? Look, this jungle is feeling dark even at day time..." Another man says who seem to be his friend. He wasn't muscular like him but still handsome and he seemed to be a little younger.

"That's what pulled me here..the mysteriousness..the beauty of this jungle..." He says and closes his eyes feeling the peace and beauty around him.

"Ali, I think I saw something...." His friend says with worry and fear in his voice.

"I'll kill you with my own hands ..if it turns out to be a prank, Usman..." Ali says staring at his friend directly.

Usman raises his hands in mock surrender. "Why will I prank you in a place like this..?I really think I saw something there..." He says and points towards a point near behind the cave.

"Let's go and check ... But I don't think there should be something...." Ali replies and takes out his sword. Usman follows him and looks around for any danger lingering in the dark. As they go near the cave Usman steps in a blood pool accidentally as he was looking everywhere except on the ground. He nearly screams at the sight of blood, Ali covers his mouth.

"Stop acting like a coward..!" He scolds Usman and steps forward as he seemed to find something that is more important than this matter. He approaches a the bushes where he finds a small pink colour scarf. "Follow me closely or go back if you want to..." He says without looking at Usman.

Usman looks scared but still he isn't someone who'll leave his friend in danger. "I'm coming..." He says and closes the distance between them, Ali nods and starts walking where the blood stains take them.

Their eyes widen as they see a tiny girl lying lifeless on the ground her clothes are stained with blood..

"Oh no... Is she dead!?"
