BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

I watched the height of the mountain. The nervousness in my chest began to severe. I was scared of what would be the result of my Final Patunay. This was bloody.

They showed me their tools. I trembled at the sight, guns, bows, knives, swords, and various other killing materials. They explained that I was lucky if I couldn’t meet them on the road. It was impossible because they were scattered.

They looked at me sharply. I was gently caressing my stomach. This would be the last one and hopefully, I will succeed.

“This is our family, you should deal with it. We never force you to be with us but you insist to be one of our family,” Ariya said seriously. She cocked the shotgun afterwards.

I swallowed but I didn’t want them to notice it. Lauressa held a sword, she looked at me, her stare wasn’t that sharp. Lucio grabbed a knife, Semon held an arrow, Anton also held a sword. They gasped their tools one by one. My eyes met Resttan, he was also included.

“Laurent is at the top of the mountain. I hope you can reach him breathing.” Lucio tapped my shoulder.

I smiled at him and said, “Thank you.”

Their faces were so shocked as if there was always something wrong with my answer and they are always shocked by me.

“I hope you’ll pass the Final Patunay. I’ll be happy,” said Leroi, the youngest of them all.

“Thank you.”

“Let’s get started,” Ariya said, and she handed me the little clock. “In thirty minutes you will enter the forest. Remember it is forbidden to disobey.”

Resttan looked at me first, I saw the concern on his face but he didn’t speak. Miraculously, when Lauressa looked at me she nodded. It was as if she was telling me to be careful, but she didn’t say anything. I can survive because I miss Laurent.

I looked up at the mountain. Imagining that Laurent was standing there and waiting for me.

Your daddy is waiting for us, Laurenz.

I looked at the clock. It’s only nineteen minutes.

I stood up straight and got ready. I put on my mask, put the sleeping powder in my pocket and looked up the mountain again.

There is no guarantee that I will reach you but I believe I love you and that will save me, us and your child.

I looked at the weapons they left behind. They said I could take at least some but I made sure I didn’t kill anyone in their clan because the punishment was still death. I can hurt them but I can’t kill them. They will really chase me to kill, they will block me from climbing the top of the mountain. Either way, I am no longer afraid because I know I will not die… my love is true and pure.

I touched my stomach one more time.

Get ready, son, we are going to your daddy and the road up will not be easy.

When the clock rang I nervously entered the forest. I didn’t even see an arrow fly, I dodged it but it touched my arm. I saw Semon holding a bow. He was about to fly another one, so I ran the distance between the two of us. I quickly grabbed his bow and repulsed it. He fought me, we wrestled, I simply grabbed the powder but I couldn’t. He hit me on the tree. Without emotion he punched me in the face but I was shocked to bend down so as not to be hit. He was stunned when his fist hit the back of the tree. I used that opportunity to grab some sleeping powder and covered my hand with his nose and mouth. I managed to put him to sleep. I smiled when I saw that he was sleeping. Successful for the first member.

I immediately ran down the road. I passed on the left, I hid as soon as I saw Lauressa. I was nervous when I saw the sword he was holding. I had a hard time climbing a tree so he couldn’t see me. My body was scratched before I could climb that tree. I looked at the sky. It was getting dark and it wasn’t pretty. I can’t see the road very well because they don’t have lights so I can’t see it carefully.

I watched Lauress’ look around as she passed and then I went down. I ran down the road again, I stepped on a sharp stick so I sat down in pain. I covered my mouth so as not to scream. My feet felt the stinging sensation. The blood was falling from it.

I determinedly tore the hem of my shirt to bandage my feet.

Good thing, I’m a nurse.

I was crawling to hide behind a tree when I saw Leroi looking around. I could hold my breath as he passed by the side of the tree where I was hiding. When I saw that he was turning around, I slowly grabbed the powder and then quickly ran and covered his nose and mouth from behind him. He also fell asleep immediately. Fortunately, the powder I bought was effective.

“Sleep well, Leroi,” I whispered, smiling.

Trembling crept into my chest when a knife slammed into my shoulder. I chased the breath looking at who it was.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Lucio…

He looked sharp at me. He approached and punched me. He punched me in the chest causing me to jump into the tree and fall hard. I could not stand up, I could feel blood dripping down my shoulder because the knife was still stuck there.

He was about to punch again but I avoided him when his punch hit the rock so like Semon before, he writhed in pain. I took the opportunity and made him smell the powder. He was also asleep. I picked him up and set him aside to Leroi.

“Good night,” I smiled at them before turning away.

I run again as if my body is numb. I hid in the big tree first and bit my shirt so as not to shout. I removed the knife from my shoulder. I feel pain in different parts of my body.

“Ihh,” I force myself to steady myself.

I will survive, promise.

I was in pain when I removed it. The intensity of the pain ached and crept all over my body.

Afterwards, I was crawling for a walk when I saw Lauressa and Cristoph looking together. I held my breath again because they were both sure they could kill me. I climbed the tree again. I waited for them to get closer. They turned their backs on each other. When Cristoph approached I hung upside down, trying to strengthen my legs hanging from the tree because when I fell it was the end of my son. He turned his back on me so I immediately grabbed his head and immediately covered his nose with powder. When Lauressa turned around she was surprised that Cristoph was lying down.

I was stunned when she looked at me so I quickly went down while he was stabbing me with a sword. I turned away and saw my hair fall out.

Almost! I was almost beaten by her sword!
