107 Caught in the roots (1/2)

Something sharp poking my leg brought me back to consciousness. I slowly opened my eyes and raised my head to find a blurry figure standing in front of me.

I felt weak. So weak.

”Hey. You alive?” the voice of a girl. I knew she was in front of me, but her voice sounded so distant.

As if she was speaking from some far away place.

Doesn't really matter.

I'm exhausted. Very very exhausted.

Let me sleep. Just for a little while.

I closed my eyes and was about to nod off when I felt something sharp poking my leg once again.

”Don't you know it's rude to nod off while a lady is talking to you.” Her distant voice rang in my ears and I opened my heavy eyelids to see her form once again. This time, it was a bit clear.

I shook my head weakly and tried to wipe my eyes but realized that I couldn't move my hands.

I was too tired to get frustrated over this.

I looked at her and this time, the blur went away and I surprised by the beauty in front of me.

She looked to be about my age, and was wearing a revealing skirt along with a small top. She had large breasts and had an hourglass figure. Black hair, brown eyes. A little shorter than me.

She was just perfect for me.

'How can someone be so beautiful.' I wondered. 'Is she an illusion?'

Perhaps I'm dead???

”Am I dead?” I asked and was a bit surprised by how hoarse and weak I sounded.

But then again, I was feeling rather weak at the moment.

She giggled at my words and then laughed.

Such sweet laugh.

”No you're not dead. In fact, I just saved your life. If I had come a few hours later, you would not have survived.” She said with a grin.

”What are you talking about?” I thought and shook my head once again.

And then, I smelled a strong decaying smell and almost emptied my stomach as my senses cleared a bit

The feeling of euphoria lifted along with the thing that was confusing my senses.

My body hurt all over. As if I was stabbed by thousands of needles.

I looked down and found myself fully covered by the roots of a tree and half submerged in a small pond.

I looked around and found found roots as far as my eyes could see.
