Bewitched His Soul

"I have never thought about it but it's a good idea ,"Daniel said seriously.

"Daniel , you evil man .How can do you think to me ,"Evelyn sat down and started to yell.

"Calm down .I never said anything about abandoning you. It's you suggesting me all these ideas ,"Daniel chuckled.

Evelyn still felt that Daniel may dump her any time as he looked quite impatient with her and was barely tolerating her. She was also not  a good teammate so she was of no help to him and depended on him for every single thing .

"Tolerate me till  we go back after that I will never bother you ,"Evelyn promised him.

"Remember what you said ,"Daniel said sternly.

Evelyn nodded her head and went back to sleep. Even though the surroundings were not in favorable condition she was very tried from all the walking and don't know when she went into deep slumber. 

Sometime in the middle of the night Evelyn heard some heavy noises and quickly opened her eyes. She did a 360 degrees check to see from where the noise came or what caused the noise but she could not figure it  out . Her heart was beating loudly and she hugged herself and brought her knees closer trying to hide from someone or something.

Not sure whether it was some animal nearby or its  the sound of branches colliding .The dark atmosphere with only the little light reflecting from moon made it more scarier and dangerous .

Evelyn turned to see if Daniel was also awake but sadly he did not even move on inch from his place .She very much wanted to rush to his side and wake him up but that does not seem like a good idea .She could not go back to sleep and even if a leaf moved she panicked.

Few minutes passed and she know she may get a heart attack if she kept on fretting about every single thing. Evelyn thought she will just sit  next to Daniel so that she can be in peace and he will also not be disturbed so it a win win situation.

Slowly without making any noise Evelyn moved towards Daniel , after making sure there is a sufficient amount of space between them and Daniel has  not been aware of her presence did she breathe a sigh of relief.

As she thought everything was under the control ,the situation turned to worst when  she heard some animal growling . Evelyn shivered and unknowingly moved closer to Daniel and held the edge of his coat tightly.

If by chance any animal comes , she hoped Daniel can protect her and they both can escape safely. As time passed she was having trouble keeping her eyes open and gradually fell asleep.

Daniel felt unsettled in his sleep as he felt a heavy weight on his chest .He tried to ignore it thinking it will disappear but instead it became clear that there may be some person next to him.

When he opened his eyes he saw Evelyn was sleeping next to him , her head was lying on his next and she was tightly clutching his jacket as if she was in the fear of being separated from him.

Daniel's first thought was to push her aside, from childhood he has been independent  and can hardly ever remember sleeping with his parents .In fact he has never shared a bed with anyone and hated being in such a close proximity with someone.

He tried to loosen her fingers around the jacket but instead she clutched the jacket more tightly .When he tried to push her she started to frown and murmured something along the lines that explained how scared she was.

Daniel was having a headache not knowing what to do.

"Don't go , don't go ,"Evelyn trembled.

Daniel felt pity seeing her state so decided to compromise just because she was truly shaken and had trouble adjusting in the forest.

His body became too stiff as he was feeling uncomfortable with a woman touching him. He decided to think of something frightening so that he will forget about Evelyn's presence .He remembered his first kill, how the blood has splashed of his face and he had grinned feeling the taste of victory .How once he had chased a person and then killed him slowly by dislocating each part of his body.

Like this he kept on remembering all the terrifying incidents and started to feel a little bit better.

Suddenly Evelyn stirred in her sleep and rubbed her head on his chest to find a suitable position , only once she was satisfied she stopped moving.

"Evelyn , are you born to make me miserable ,"Daniel murmured clenching his teeth.

Daniel rolled his eyes seeing how peacefully she was sleeping after disrupting his sleep. As always the whole world should cater to Evelyn Anderson's wishes.

He saw that the fire was still burning and there was no sign of any danger .He closed his eyes and started to count numbers backward and hoping the sun may rise soon.

Evelyn was smiling not sure what she was dreaming and slowly opened her eyes feeling energetic and ready to conquer whatever today may throw at her. She turned aside to see Daniel but he was not there at his spot ,looks like he was an early riser unlike her.

As soon as she stood up her eyes searched for Daniel but  slowly she become tense when he was nowhere within her sight.

"Daniel ,Daniel .Where are you ,"Evelyn screamed but there was no response .She ran around to find him but the results disappointed her.

Did he truly abandon her , not even once did he think  how a lone girl can survive in this monstrous jungle .Even after she begged him repeatedly he choose to ignore her , what kind of man was he. What does she going to do now , whom will she ask for help and she was not even sure she can go back home. 

Thinking about all this, tears filled her eyes and she just started walking not knowing where she was heeding..  There was a lake nearby and she felt as if she had spotted a human being.
