Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 60

Damien lay unconsciously on the damp earth. His nostrils were invaded by the smell of earth, blood and crushed twigs fallen from neighboring trees. His pupils would twirl inside the sheath of lids covering them. The organ which aided the vision seemed too weak to push on the eyelids to pave the way.

His body felt weak and wild pain throbbed across his body. It seemed as though a rock had been dropped on his back. His shoulder hurt ten times it did earlier. And because of the pain in his thighs, it felt like his dick had been cut off. Yea! That was the kinda pain he was in at that moment.

Yet in such state of pain, he couldn't help but worry about where the lion had run off to. Did it run in the direction of the castle? Would the girls be safe? Even though he knew that he hurt the lion, yet he felt uneasy.

He felt the will to get up on his feet, but he wish!!! His soul and mind were willing, but his body had another idea. Who would blame the poor flesh?

Suddenly, he felt a shadow fall open him. He was lying face down, his arms spread on the earth, his chest hugging the lone soil. A side of his face brushing a school of fallen but dried leaves.

Then he felt a wet and sticky substance going all over his face. This time he had no choice but to urge the lens to give light and push the weary lids out of the way.

As soon as the pupils greeted the light of the day, he noticed a pair of red deep eyes over his eyes. When his mind met with his vision, he was able to get an idea of what was going on.

IS THAT YOU?

~ good job, fool. i'm so proud of you. ~

He was so glad that all he needed to communicate was his mind. He was glad that it was the white wolf licking his face and was there for him. He wanted to hug Der at that moment, but he wish!

PROUD OF ME? WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD SAY THAT? YOU ARE NOT EVEN MY PARENTS.

~ you still make a joke in this situation? ~

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN DO. MAKE JOKE TO YOU. I CAN'T EVEN CRY OR TALK IF I WANT TO.

~ you will make me cry ~

Damien tried to laugh but he only inflected his ribs with more pain.

JUST GO AWAY. GO AND BRING THE CANNIBALS. TELL THEM THAT THEIR KING IS IN NEED OF THEIR SERVICE.

The wolf ran away at once.

~ just be safe before I return ~

GO YOU FOOL.

The wolf was no longer in sight. Damien at least wanted to turn over but he couldn't.

[Ping! Three minutes of the unusual force expired.]

[Ping! System notification: Host in severe pain due to the MATRID energy's frequency.]

[Ping! System medics: Automatically unlocking and activating the system doctor feature. Host only completed 26/1029 tasks.]

[Ping! Restructuring bones, cleansing blood, stretching veins, total rebuild of host's organ system.]

In Damien's body, if felt like there was a bulldozer traveling through his body and hitting every corner of his body, crushing and mercilessly hitting everything in its way.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Damien screamed so loudly that he fart, pushing his body up again. He stayed like that for a while then dropped back on the earth. Silence and stillness.

[Ping! Restructuring completed. Host automatically resumes task.]

Damien eyes opened widely, he sat up. All his pain was gone.

At the castle, the girls were gathered in the living room. Mira and Laurette were singing and the rest were dancing. Only Claire was aloof and indifferent.

Claire's eyes strayed to the open door of the living room. Her eyes widened and she jumped up.

"The wolf!!!"

Seeing Der, the rest of the girls jumped up.

"What's it doing here?"

Laurette gulped, her heart thumping violently. Der strolled into the living room, growling.

"Why is it coming closer. Why?"

Mira called in fear. The girls were so scared out of their wits.

"Is it going to kill us?"

Evelyn was already bawling her eyes out. Der walked slowly in till she was standing at the foot of the wooden staircase.

"What's it doing?"

"Run!!!"

Allison called at the girls. They ran out of the living room. Der followed them.

"Why does it keep following us?"

Mira called, her eyes tearing up. Der made sure to lead them towards the fence. He gave them time to open the gate then followed again as they ran into the woods.

"Mommy!!!"

Evelyn called, still wailing like someone who lost a loved one.

Whoever amongst the girls who tried to run in another direction, Der made sure to scare the person back to the right direction.

"Let's stick together. I heard that when we do so, the animal will be confused as to whom to attack first."

Allison called on top of her voice as they ran on.

~ dumb species ~

The wolf scorned. Suddenly Evelyn tripped and fell.

"Please help me. Please. Damien!!!"

She screamed. Her face was already a mess.

"Sorry."

Jada who was next to her ran away to join the rest. Ayisha stopped running and slowly walked to her.

Der stopped a distance away. Ayisha helped Evelyn up. The former was scared also.

"Let's leave."

"Wait."

Evelyn pushed at Ayisha who had observed something.

"He's not pursuing us. I think he's leading us to somewhere."

Ayisha thought for a while.

"Damien must be in trouble."

She turned to the rest of the girls and called,

"Wait!!!"

One after the other the girls waited. Ayisha made her observation known,

"The wolf doesn't want to harm us. Look."

"Were you a wolf in your former life? How did you know?"

Laurette who was holding her sister's hand, ready to run attacked.

"Isn't it obvious? When Evelyn fell, it stood there. Plus if it wants to hurt us, would it standing there, watching us argue?"

"Then what do you think? Doing hide and seek?"

Mira snatched her hand from her sister's hold.

"No, I think he's leading us somewhere. Remember that something like this happened during the day of the Cannibal's festival."

"Oh true, that makes sense."

Evelyn nodded.

"I can't trust this... Never!!!"

Claire called.

"Me too."

Jada jumped on.

"Let's leave too, Mira. The wolf can eat the rest of them for all I care."

Laurette was as blunt as ever. Mira wasn't ready to leave. Laurette couldn't either. For the sake of sister bond.

As the two tried to leave, the wolf took steps forward and began to growl!!!

"Now you see for yourself."

Ayisha affirmed. The two had to stay against their wills. Ayisha took the risk of walking closer to the wolf.

"Careful."

Evelyn called. When Ayisha was almost too close, the wolf growled.

"Okay -- how am I supposed to explain to it."

She gulped, holding up one of her hands.

"We know that you're taking us somewhere, please lead the way."

She turned to her back,

"Everyone move out of the way."

As soon as they all did, the wolf slowly walked past them, growling lowly. With a cornered eye, he growled fiercely at Jada who flinched.

Getting to the front, it started running up the part.

"Now!!!"

Allison called and the girls followed.

Damien stood at the foot of the tree on whose branches he had spread the fibres. He touched them. They were getting dried.

"I wish to finish weaving their clothes before tomorrow, but is that even possible?"

He paused.

"How am I even supposed to achieve that."

He gulped. The memory of what just happened to him was so fresh. He dropped his hand from the dried fibres and closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath.

Suddenly, he heard hurrying footsteps towards his direction.

"Who are those? The Cannibals?"

His eyes flung open. He turned away from the tree.

"Ayisha you're running too fast!!!"

EVELYN?!!

Damien could tell her voice even from distance.

"What are the girls doing here? It's too dangerous out here!!"

~ got a surprise package for you ~

Damien could hear the voice of the wolf loudly and clearly in his head. He knew what that meant. She was close.

YOU BASTARD, I'LL RIP YOUR TONGUE.

"What should I do, what, what?"

He came to a quick decision. The footsteps were getting louder, which mean they were closer.

He ran to the spot where he had stood up from. He dropped on it facedown.

"Damien... oh my God, Damien!!!"

He could hear one of the girls call.
