Queen Of 2 Worlds

C H A P T E R - 6

 Marietta P.O.V

'Where I am?'

My head was feeling like someone was pounding a hard hammer on it. The rest of the body parts were not even feeling. It seemed like I had lost my body. I was feeling as frozen as ice.

'What happened to me?'

My eyes were still closed, I tried to open them but the spark of bright light again shut them. The fragrance of moist mud reached my nostrils as I heard the faded voice of water and chirping of some birds. Probably my senses had again started to work.

I started to move my fingers slowly. Then I traced my hands on the surface, which was rough and a bit moist. I again tried to open my eyes and this time, I managed to open them. I blinked to adjust my vision and the view in front startled me.

The huge trees full of flowers and weird fruits, with bright sunlight peeking through the space between leaves. The melodious chirping of different species of birds. I looked at the sky, it was blue, the bright blue type with pink clouds.

'What? Pink clouds?'

I looked back at the ground, I was sitting with a tree with my back leaning against it.

Apparently, I was in a forest.

When did I come to a forest?

I attempted to stand up but ended up on the ground. My head started to spin as black dots appeared in front of my eyes. Groaning, I again sat down with the tree.

"What is this place?" I looked around myself. It was indeed a beautiful forest. The air was fresh and the endless green sight was so relaxing. But it gave me a strange feeling when I looked at the sky.

When did I come to a forest? I tried to remember but all in vain. Why didn't I remember anything? What happened to me? I again tried but nothing came to my mind except a strong headache.

'Am I dead or alive?' An unusual thought bumped into my mind.

I was lost in my thoughts when a sharp arrow came and fixed just an inch away from my face, more prominently away from my eye.

My breath got stuck in my lungs as I looked at the arrow with bewilderment. I was so scared that I didn't even scream nor move, I just stared at it without blinking. Just an inch more and it would have landed in my right eye.

My eyes traveled through its design to the sharp pointed edge. It had ancient patterns with copper and golden color designed on it. Its edged had gone inside so deeply in the root of the tree.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

I jerked at the voice as my heart skipped a beat. Slowly, I angled my head towards the source of the voice and... What kind of a creature was that? I shrank my eyes to look more carefully.

Her blonde hairs were tied up in a high tail and there were so many tiny braids falling on her shoulder. On the other shoulder, there were bones, vertically fixed in a style, going down towards her waist. She had worn piercing on her nose and lower lip. Her face was covered in high makeup with a broad black line on the forehead. While her dress was...

What kind of dress was this?

Her dress was resembling something that those jungle people wear in movies but her sleeveless blouse had steel straps going crisscrossed all over the front to back. While her weird knee-length skirt was simple, her both boots had knife hocked in them.

By hair and figure, she was a girl but with strange, no...super strange clothes and jewels. Those were also old-fashioned, too old-fashioned that I wonder who on earth wore this kind of thing anymore?
