beauty and his beasts

CHAPTER 10: A New World 2

Had the beast left him after he fainted?, He thought

He tried looking around again but it was still impossible to see through the darkness. He stood up from where he was laying down and tried feeling his way in the darkness.

The walls were cold and uneven. The first thought that hit him was that he must be in a cave.

He tried going back to where he was laying down just now.

When he felt it, it wasn't a bed or a mat but it wasn't the floor either,so he decided to just lay back down.

After he did, he heard a loud noise like something was being pushed. It turned out that the entrance of the cave was blocked by a huge rock.

The instant it was pushed to the side, moon light slipped in but Hao Shen didn't open his eyes to see who had opened the cave, he just lay there pretending to be asleep.

Hao Shen thought a few people had pushed the rock to the side because, it was impossible for just one person to push such a heavy rock, but he was only able to see a shadow of one person before he shot his eyes close.

The person walked close to him, just when he was about to open his eyes he felt the person lick his face.

Surprised by the actions of the stranger he opened his eyes again. Hao Shen felt a sting on his forehead so he touched it and realized that the injury had lessened a bit.

It was where that strange person licked.

Hao Shen stood up to see the person that had licked him. he had questions that he wanted to ask, but what he saw only made him faint one more time.

Hao Shen woke up the next day, the rock that was blocking the entrance of the cave was slightly open enough for a grownup man to pass through, this allowed light to penetrate the cave.

Hao Shen could now clearly see the interior of the cave.

It was a very large cave, Hao Shen stood up and he felt like his head was spinning, he tried to hold on to something but he wasn't close to anything.

So he fell down on the floor and blacked out again.

Hao Shen was originally a weak person but not eating for this long was taking a toll on him.

He did not stay unconscious for a long time as he was woken up by the loud growling of his stomach.

Hao Shen opened his eyes and looked around.

He still didn't see the owner of this cave. He wanted to get up and leave the cave but he was afraid if he stood up immediately, he would fill dizzy and collapse again.

Hao Shen's vision wasn't clear, he felt that he needed to close his eyes and sleep, but he knew that it was caused by the fact that he had not eaten for days and was extremely weak.

What he needed was to find food, he looked around and aside from himself, his backpack and the animal skin blanket he was laying on there was nothing else in sight. Hao Shen decide to crawl to the entrance to check if he would see anyone outside.

When he reached the entrance, he could not see clearly and fell. The cave was built on a small hill, if Hao Shen could see clearly he would have known that the path he chose to crawl on was a very narrow path and if one was not careful they might fall down the hill.

Although if someone was to fall from the hill they would not die, but they would be seriously injured.

Hao Shen had just started to fall when he felt like he was being held by a strong arm. The owner of those arm turned Hao Shen around.

Blue eyes met silver ones, it was as Their eyes met that Hao Shen remember the incident that caused him to faint last night.

Hao Shen had stood up to see the person who licked his wound, he was shocked by what he saw, the man had slowly transformed into a white tiger, and when the white tiger opened it's mouth and spoke the human language, Hao Shen felt his world spin, unable to take this realization he collapsed, and now seeing those eyes as that of the beast he saw in the forest Hao Shen collapsed once again.
