The chirping of birds, the cries and the shouts of the people; the gunshots was all she heard along with the roar of that creature behind them.
Diserie was running out of breath. She had been running through this vast forest for about three hours. Her legs are weak, and she is lost and can't stand properly.
She is scared of death. She left her shoes somewhere earlier. She needs to get out and get away from this forest! They should not reach her. They should not see her. She should not die. Her family needs her, and she has still dreamed of making it come true.
She could see the truth— they are running, a lot of people. They want all to be alive. They want all to survive.
An awful creature chased them that she didn't know what it was!
Chasing. Running.
"Run! Run! They are approaching! Run as fast as you can!"
Diserie's whole muscle trembled when she heard a man shout behind her. She ran as fast as she could, even though she was exhausted and had no strength, and her vision was blurred. She should not stop running; this is their only way to survive!
Suddenly, her foot trapped in the protruding root of a tree.
"Oh, fucking shit!" she groaned as her whole body fell to the ground. She felt pain in her foot. She closed her eyes tightly while holding back the scream.
She did not notice that she had stepped on a sharply cut branch of a tree. The trunk was standing so straight at her feet from the ground.
"Run! You'll die!" An older woman wearing glasses shouts at her while she's running poorly.
What's happening? What is there in this place? What class or what kind of creature chasing them? Why are they being chased? And why do they have to run?
"Oh, shit!"
Diserie looked at the man in the white gown laboratory. He looked at her and stared at her foot with a pointed branch of a tree.
"We don't have time anymore," he said at the same time, coming from her and joining her in the running.
Diserie looked at the older woman. Why didn't the man help the older woman? Why this man helps er instead?
Weird.
She could no longer control the aggravation of her feelings. She is frail. Diserie's eyes gradually dimmed, and she completely lost consciousness in the arms of the man carrying her.

"TELL me, are you a virgin ?!”
Diserie slapped the man hard on the right cheek because of what he asked.
"What the hell ?!" the man muttered after seeing the blood on the side of his lip.
Diserie woke up in an unfamiliar room. She was lying on the bed. Her whole body is clean, and all the scars and bruises she has received earlier all over her body have band-aids, and her foot is in a bandage. She glared at the man; her eyes glazed over as she stared at him.
"Is it the way you thank me for saving you?" The man said with a sharp tone while his eyebrows raised.
"I did not tell you that you would save me!" She shouted back at him.
His gaze got worse on her. "I wish I hadn't helped you before," he said, then shook his head and stepped out of the room where she was. But he stopped when he was already at the door.
"If you are a virgin, they will hunt you... If you are not, then you will die." After the man saying that statement, he slammed the door shut.
Diserie swallowed hard because of what the man said. She looked out the window and felt a strange fear that she had never felt in all her life. What the man had just said to her came back to her mind.
"If you are a virgin, they will hunt you. .Then if you are not, you will die." "Is this a virgin hunt ?!" She whispered in.
Well, if that's the case, she needs to survive.
