The Borders
Part 32 – Lonely Freda I
Two years ago ...
"Where am I?" a woman wakes up in the middle of a forest, not remembering anything about her past. He only remembered his name Freda, that was what people seemed to call him.
He was surprised that there was a shadow nearby, the shadow was intangible but seemed to change its shape, at that time the shadow did not move its shape just like a wisp of black smoke.
Frightened Freda saw the shadow next to him immediately running away leaving the shadow, he did not remember who the shadow was and what it had to do with it.
When he saw Freda who was away, the shadow seemed to be awakened as well and immediately chased after Freda. He then hid in Freda's shadow, unbeknownst to him.
Freda who did not know where to go, went around in the middle of the city with a starving stomach. He continued walking until he was finally in a city park. He was very tired and confused at that time.
The weather of the day looked so dark and cloudy wanted rain that not many people there even though it was a holiday. But not long after that it rained down.
Freda who was still confused because he did not remember anything felt he did not know what to do. All the memories with the people in his past were completely wiped clean.
In the rain he sat on a garden chair, Freda pensively looking far ahead. He felt so empty and lonely. I wonder if no one will be looking for him.
Freda whose clothes had been tattered and soaked in rain. Staying seated on that garden chair with a starving stomach he had no intention of leaving there in the slightest.
Until finally he met with Kashel and Grizelle who were walking together who accidentally passed the place, Grizelle who saw Freda directly sat him with one of the umbrellas they used so that Freda was not rained again.
Grizelle and Kashel stood under the same umbrella.
"Why does the lady stay in the rain like this?" Grizelle said as she gave the umbrella. But the woman was silent.
KRUUK!
The sound of his stomach was so loud that it even overcame the sound of rain.
Grizelle smiled in shock at hearing that. Freda had her cheeks flushed in shame. Her skin was pure white, making her flushed face look so very clear.
"Ah I have bread, you'd better eat first." Grizelle reached into the bag she was carrying and gave Freda a packet of bread.
"So let's find a shelter." Grizelle continued to invite Freda who he did not know, Kashel who patronized Grizelle just silently saw the interaction of the two girls, he did not know what to do.
The starving Freda immediately accepted the bread Grizelle gave him and ate it voraciously.
"Let's follow us" Grizelle and Freda followed them, believing they were both good people.
Feeling pity for Kashel and Grizelle then bought him food. And they finally met there.
"Include my name Grizelle and she's Kashel." Grizelle introduced herself, Grizelle smiled as she spoke to Freda.
"If you may know what Miss's name is?" ask Grizelle politely.
"My name is Freda," he introduced himself, Freda said a little awkwardly now.
"Thank you for everything" Freda said still in a nervous tone, feeling bad.
"Why are you raining like that, where's Freda's house?" The curious Grizelle asked, she also familiarized herself with him.
"It's home" Grizelle assures him, she thinks the girl is from abroad because she has white blonde hair. And Grizelle thought she didn't understand the language she was speaking.
"I ... Don't remember." Freda explained the situation back then before Grizelle asked further who thought the girl did not understand the language.
Freda then explains how he came to his senses and ended up as he is now. The two of them were the first to care about his circumstances, after he had become a vagabond a moment ago.

After the rain had subsided and finished spending on Freda food so that the girl would not starve anymore, they wanted to part because Kashel and Grizelle also did not know what to do for the woman. Kashel and Grizelle suggest to report to the Police Station about the case.
It didn't feel like it was night. But because the place they stood on was not so crowded, the air suddenly turned cold.
Strangely, those who felt the cold were Kashel and Freda.
"Grizelle are you cold?" Concerned Kashel asked Grizelle.
"No, I'm not cold." Grizelle said clearly. Kashel started to feel a bit awkward as Grizelle looked mediocre
"Are you able to see creatures from another world?" Kashel finally opened his voice asking, after seeing Freda who seemed to experience the same thing as him.
Freda's head suddenly felt dizzy upon hearing the question, he did not remember anything.
"I-I don't remember" he stuttered as he held his head. It was like there was a faint shadow but he did not remember it very much.
Kashel would not want to open the glasses he was wearing to be able to see the surroundings.
Right now her top priority remains focused on protecting Grizelle even though the woman will be nothing as only a mere human being. But he was afraid that if his lover's heart was in a weak state, it could still endanger his condition as well. That Dark Spirit would definitely affect her and put Grizelle in danger because of it.
Kashel attaches her body to Grizelle protecting her, leaving the woman perplexed at not understanding what happened. But Grizelle didn't ask because she understood the situation, and Kashel saw something.
Suddenly a black attack came upon the three of them Kashel who were unprepared for nothing, making his body a shield to protect Grizelle without putting up the slightest resistance as the attack led to them both.
Lyam swiftly appeared protecting the two of them.
"Are you stupid to even fend off such an attack can't," Kashel just kept quiet, not surprised by the sudden presence of Liam. It really looks ordinary even though Liam is angry at him Kashel does not care and is not afraid either.
He knew that wherever he went, Liam would be watching him. But not with Freda he seemed surprised by Lyam's sudden appearance, but he tried to be mediocre.
Kashel threw his face away from Liam's gaze. At that time Kashel was still not very familiar with Lyam because he still felt too forced by Lyam, although he was already feeling fine but Kashel's resentful feelings for Liam had not disappeared because he had chosen him to be a vessel of the soul.
