Resisting Him

Kristoff's POV:

"A-Ash, wait for me! Since when did you become a great runner!? You ran so fast today!" I shouted at her.

Ash and I ran away from the creature. I'm exhausted, and Ash is still screaming. She looks so scared that you’d mistake her for a madman. She just screamed and screamed, and if there was an enemy here, I hoped they wouldn’t hear us; we’d be dead for sure.

Because of my tiredness, I was out of balance while running and fell to the floor. No voice came out of my mouth when my crotch hit the branch. My world suddenly stopped because of the event. My throat ran dry.

I almost cried from the pain and held my breath. I saw Ash stop running and look at me. She was still sweating.

Suddenly, I felt a soft fang bite into my leg. Ash laughed at the same time. How does she find my situation funny when our future kids are at risk!?

"Jusko, it turns out we ran from a dog! You're a coward, Kristoff!" Ash teased and walked towards me.

"Hey, you're the one who ran so fast. "You're almost flying with your speed," I teased Ash.

I still stutter because of the pain. I stood up when I felt the pain disappear. Maybe later, because of my stupidity, my sperm will sulk and not give me a child. Please, don’t let that happen. My future offspring will surely be beautiful, and it would be a shame if it could not be propagated.

This shih tzu is barking at me. Ash lifted the dog in her arms and ran her fingers through its white fur. Its fur is long, and its body is muddy. It seems to have been here for a long time. Couldn't there be someone else here?

I just laughed and massaged this dog's side. It's beautiful, and it's a pet. The dog is also female and still has a collar that has not been removed. This dog's name is Kaleb; it sounds like an Arabic sound. After all, we are close to Oman.

"Ash, do you think there is someone here?" I asked.

"I don't know, Kristoff. But based on this dog, it looks like someone is here. It's obvious that Kalab is a pet dog, but it's surprising how he ended up here," Ash said.

"Could it be a plane crash or a ship sink? Dogs are good swimmers, so that's not surprising. Besides, it looks like he hasn't eaten in a long time. Kaleb is losing weight," I said.

"Maybe, but now we need to find out everything. Maybe there is someone here who can help us, or maybe it is the enemy. We have to prepare. We still have to be careful because we are still not far from the enemy. They are just around, scouting. If not here on the island, they're probably on the ground," said Ash.

We agreed to pick up a sharp branch and a rock so that we would at least have protection. I saw Kalab suddenly run when Ash put her on the ground, so we both cursed. Here we go again!

"Kaleb, come back here! Let's chase it, Kristoff!" Ash shouted.

We chased the dog, but it just ran. We screamed, but Kaleb didn't care. Could it be that she doesn't understand our language? Maybe this dog is foreign?

"Hey Kalab, stop! Sit!" I shouted.

I was amazed when Kalab sat down and faced us. Her tongue is still hanging out and condemning us. This dog understands English!

"Ash, you're in awe of me again. It turns out that Kaleb understands English. I’m such an amazing man," I boasted.

"Look there; you're boasting again. Kaleb stopped right when you screamed because we're already here," Ash said and pointed to something in the distance.

I slapped her hand, so Ash whined. She widened her eyes at me, so I shook my head.

"You shouldn’t just point your finger anywhere in the middle of the woods; encantos might follow you. Bite your finger and then spit on the ground," I said.

Ash looked at my foot as I stepped onto the ground. She did what I said. It is said that pointing is bad.

"Is that true? You're just scaring me," Ash said.

"Find out for yourself if you wish," I teased her, so Ash shouted.

"Oh no! Don't scare me with that!"

I turned back to what Ash pointed at me earlier and secretly celebrated. It is a wooden house. It was dark inside, and there seemed to be no light. It is also small. This wooden house seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

We went inside, and Kalab went first. There is no one here, and it is already dusty. Maybe that's why Kalab is thin—no one has taken care of her for a long time. It's obvious.
