The only thing Ethan was worried about after successfully taking Emily out of the dungeon, was the pursuit of the man he had harvested. Ethan was sure the man would only be unconscious for a few moments, and Emily's condition made it impossible to run. Even in his position carrying Emily on his back, running in snowy conditions in the dark was impossible.Emily's entire body was covered in wounds and the blood seemed to never stop flowing. Red patches dripped on the white snow, creating a trail that seemed to tell anyone where the girl had gone. Ethan couldn't let it all go by without any treatment. "Your wound must be treated first, Emily, you're hurt badly." Ethan lowered Emily from his arms, the leaves from the fallen tree branch made a bed for Emily to lie on."Take me to the cave, Ethan. Take care of me there," Emily pleaded with her eyes closed and a weak voice. However, Emily's request could not be done by Ethan because the distance to the cave was longer than they had imagin

In the overpowering dimness and unease, Ethan strode slowly between the damp walls that reeked of anxiety. His eyes stared wide-eyed at each successive room built of stone with rusted iron bars. The basement was too stuffy to linger in for long and Ethan was beset by an overwhelming sense of anxiety. His shoes created a regular, stiff beat, each step that brought him closer to the far end of this row of stone prisons felt like a step towards death. His feelings grew even more unsettled as Ethan felt Emily's scent grow thicker, as if it were the lifeblood of this dark underground chamber. A low screech from the last room at the edge of the darkness made his thoughts even more frantic."Emily, are you there?" he hissed softly, barely audible.His steps felt like they were being dragged, his legs felt numb and the oxygen felt depleted in the humid soil. His vision had never clearly observed anything since the young man set foot in this place, but the thing happening in front of him made

"Emily!" the young man exclaimed, causing an echo. She tossed the game to the ground, her gaze wary as Ethan scanned every corner of the cave. Ever since he first arrived there, the cave's lip had been wide open and the barrier rattan seemed to have slammed into the center. The campfire was dead and there was no sign of having been used during his hunt in the forest. The young man sat himself down first. He took a sip of the water stored in the small jug, while the bacon intended for Emily was gone when he checked. Ethan blamed himself when he remembered not telling Emily to stay in the cave while he hunted. But Ethan was also upset when he remembered that the girl should have known the weather outside was so bad and she should have stayed in the cave and waited for him to come home.There was a strange silence that appeared between his raging thoughts. He had never felt this lonely in life, even though Ethan had previously inhabited the cave alone, but Emily's departure made a stra

Ethan smelled a deer about two kilometers away from the cave he was in. It had been a while since he had smelled an animal, and his last hunt had been three Sundays ago. It was rare to see animals wandering around in the middle of a snowstorm like this, if they had come out it was usually because there was nothing to eat.Perhaps the deer was an unfortunate animal that had gotten separated from the herd, winter is a tough time for anyone. And even so, there was no way Ethan would let the deer go just out of pity. There was only one slice of bacon left and he was sure Emily hadn't put anything in her stomach since yesterday afternoon. And he was grateful for his rat nose signaling to save his life for at least the next weeks. The young man then grabbed his bow as fast as the snow fractals descended to the earth. He zipped up his coat after making sure that his old boots were perfectly fitted."Hey, where are you going?" asked Emily when she saw Ethan preparing to leave without saying

"What are you talking about?" The young man frowned deeply.Emily sighed lazily, suddenly realizing that what she said just now sounded taboo. The girl distanced herself after the treatment was over, she chose to sit in the corner of the dark cave. "I'm not sure you'll believe me, so I guess you'd better forget what I said earlier" she said coldly."Look, I don't like small talk, tell me, what kind of curse do you want to get rid of?" he urged impatiently.Emily did not answer, the cave was silent and cold. The young man chose to light a fire after arranging the firewood and then warm his body. Emily approached the campfire and sat down opposite the young stranger whose name she didn't even know."I'm Emily, I'm running away from a madman," Emily said after sitting in front of the fire for a while."I'm Ethan, a traveler who accidentally met a pathetic girl being chased by crazy people," Ethan replied which made Emily smile bitterly."Do you believe that in this universe there is a s

The distance between him and Albert was only about two hundred meters and there was no other way but to run away leaving his horse neighing in pain. "Joe, I'm sorry, darling. We have to part ways here," Emily said softly, resting her forehead against the horse's forehead. The storm of feelings was perhaps more difficult for Emily to handle than the snowstorm. The girl had never expected to go through two breakups at once. Amy and Joe were not trivial matters, and leaving them in such a difficult time was never easy for her. However, her soul is forced to deal with this situation, any sentimentality must be thrown away for her safety.After crossing the river in water that nearly froze her bones, Emily treaded heavily through the deep snow in front of her. The trees were thicker and taller on the other side of the river and the situation was slightly favorable for Emily's position. The girl thought of hiding behind the trees as it seemed impossible to outrun those pursuing her.Alber
