Near-death experience!

Booooooooooooooom!

It was already too late though...

Before the pilot could even make a move, the Roc already hit them.

The other guy protected Ceres, as the helicopter was descending. He tightly embraced her while both his eyes were closed.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaam!

After a short while, another loud sound was heard.

The outer part of the helicopter was smashed!

Even the inner part was shattered, it was a miracle that Ceres only have few scratches all over her body.

A spark then formed near the fuel tank afterward.

Though it didn't explode due to the impact, it cracked including some fuel containers near it.

The spark became a small fire and slowly moving towards the pilot's body. It was thanks to the water vessel that was also damaged, that the fire was not advancing too fast. Yet, it was not enough to fully prevent it.

The man couldn't move even a finger and really having a hard time breathing too. Then suddenly...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

A scream was heard. The pilot's body was slowly burning. The pain, suffering, torture, torment, and agony, were felt by him all at the same time.

He was literally burning alive!

Ceres heard him whine and woke up for that reason...

All kinds of emotions were flooding inside her, she was watching a person being burnt alive like literally.

But what could she do? She was just a young girl that had a very small body frame, she couldn't even carry her bag at school without any help.

Ceres wanted to help him, but she couldn't even help herself. She couldn't untie her limbs as well.

She didn't have any other choice but to keep eyeing on what was happening to the pilot, as his distance was not too far from hers.

With some blood and sweat mixed flowing on her eyes, she couldn't close it. She couldn't even have a wink...

Since that was the case, why not just watch closely and see what would happen next?!

After a couple of minutes, the man stopped moving. It seemed like he already accepted his fate and just died silently.

While Ceres was still observing, she returned back to her senses when she saw that the fire was now slowly moving right next into her.

She became restless and shouted for aid!

"Help! Is anyone out there, help me please..."

As she was asking for help, she felt something.

Plop plop plop plop plop

Something was actually dropping down from above, that made her right shoulder wet...

Ceres looked slowly above and she saw the other guy!

She could see that his neck was broken while his eyes were still open looking warmly on her...

The man was already dead, and he wasn't even able to close his eyes before he died.

He actually checked first how Ceres was doing and when he saw that she was fine after what happened, he became satisfied up to his last breath.

Ceres was wearing a white dress with a red ribbon on her waist. With the blood that was leaking from the guy's position, her right shoulder was being painted in red.

After contemplating, once again back to reality!

She was shocked when she saw that the fire was now reaching her feet.

"N-no! Don't!..."

She cried out! She was now scared to death and couldn't even move her feet for she was cornered! She could only look away from it.

Crsssssssstkkkkksss

Then she heard a weird sound on her feet.

Out of curiosity, she looked quickly and suddenly smiled.

Opportunity!

This was what she needed. The thing that was burning now is not her shoes but the rope tied on her.

She first calmed down and slowly moved her lower limbs...

Finally!

A big portion of the rope was burned, she then used a big amount of her strength to forcefully break the rope.

Afterward, she immediately stood up and moved away.

"Now what to do? It's scorching everywhere. How to break this rope on my hands? Hmmm, alright let me try this."

She went to an area where the fire was not blazing and placed her wrists that had been tied in order for her to burn the rope.

"Ouch! Hmm, it hurts mom."

Ceres felt the heat for a part of her skin was burned...

She endured it, her first priority now was to free her hands on the rope so she could move on to her next plan.

"Oh, finally! Everywhere is ablaze, so what's next? I no longer have any other choice, let me do this!..."

She went to the guy and carefully took his jacket off, she had a hard time doing so for the man's half body was actually being pressed by the helicopter's rotary-wing.

"Uncle I'm so sorry, I need to do this. I will always pray for you! And if I survive later, I will try to look for your family and assist them when they need any help. Uncle, may you rest in peace."

When Ceres was already able to remove the jacket from his corpse, the blood rushed through her body.

She didn't mind at all, she was focusing on thinking about how to leave as soon as possible!

The next thing she did was, she poured the remaining water from the vessel on her body and soaked the jacket wet.

She wore it and quickly ran with all her might going outside the burning area.

Afterward, she heard some explosions! And the helicopter was now scorching all over.

"Hooah! That was close! Uncle and Mr. Pilot, may you both rest in peace."

After that, she didn't rest even for a moment.

Ceres was afraid of those weird animals that she saw earlier that might come feed on her.

She then walked away to look for a safe place to stay...

Then, a short while had passed. She saw a small cave not too far from where the helicopter had crashed, she slowly went inside to examine if there were something in there.

After checking, Ceres became really happy!...

Aside from the stones and some wall carvings around, the inside of the cave could be said to be a very vacant place for her to stay.

But she still made sure that the cave was entirely safe. Afterward, she sat at the corner and fell asleep.....
