Enemies Or Friends?

...****************...

Every single second of it felt like a warm hug...

...****************...

Now she felt it even clearer. She could've felt heat coming from hands wrapped around her body. Ika felt shy, but she didn't open up her eyes. She was wondering, "Whose voice is this? Where am I? Just seconds ago I was drowning...".

She didn't want to show that she's awake so Ika decided to just be like that for a while...

......................

She was also scared to scare away others by looking at them with her eyes, that could do quite a lot of damage. It may not only hurt person physical, but it also can hurt them psychologically... That way when she was only 6 years old, from anger she made some girls, who were too picky, to go to the psychologists.

......................

After some time she heard a deep male's voice," What shall we do? It's way too heavy to take around and it might place us at the worse position...".

"Well we can give some garlic to smell to her and then at least it wouldn't be that heavy to carry her around.", said way older man.

Then the other one smiled, took his backpack and took out something from it. It was looking quite heavy. The thing he took out of his backpack was small box. Even though the box was quite small, it was heavy enough for its size. They were hundreds of different smells coming from it; some of them were pretty sweet aromas, but some were so horrible that you could probably even kill someone with it. Then the guy slowly put it next to Ika's nose.

It was hard for her to not to 'wake up', but she tried to stay strong and don't give up easily!

"Oh well, I know one other way. As much as I used it, it always worked,- kiss the 'sleeping' person and they'll wake up.", The young guy said and smirked. He already saw that the girl was awake, because her breathing wasn't like sleeping person's.

Ika was too nervous and then she thought of best that she could at that time to think of.

She suddenly leaned away from the strong hands that were holding her and now was laying on the ground, with her head bowed as low as possible. Then she kinda made a mess from her hair and shook her head a bit. That way it would be easier to see nothing but the needed road.

"HA! Knew that would work well. ", said the same guy.

Then the other, older spoke, "You better stop your silly games, it'll go too far someday, you'll see that I'm right in the end, when it's going to be too late, boy".

"C'mon, you know I like to joke around".

"These are old-fashioned, get something modern!", said some girl with arrogance. And they all started laughing.

Then the boy, who was holding Ika, walked closer to her laying on the ground, and kneeled next to Ika.

"Hey, don't be afraid...", he said, but it didn't concern girl to speak up. "I know it might be scary, but there's always first time for everything...", Ika was stunned, he was talking about the situation as if he knew what had happened to her earlier... "My name's - Arison, what about you?'', he smiled warmly.

Ika didn't look him in the eye and still was looking down, then she opened her mouth,"I'm Ika", she didn't say anything more.

"Wow, beautiful name", said Arison.

Arison wasn't the leader of the group but he was serious and understanding with others, even when he was the youngest there, he would act most of the everyone there like an adult.

...----------------...

Then Arison helped her stand up and took her hand. Thought it was for only few seconds, Ika shook it away, she wasn't used to such things and it would only make it all harder.

...****************...

There was a huge bumping sound suddenly. The ground of the tiny house was shaking and walls were looking so fragile... Then there were loud sounds of shots, they were so close!

Ika suddenly saw some sort of a blue and purple lights, they were like candles in the deep night... So light!
