Aria and Leo arrived at the vintage cabin just earlier than dawn. Nestled deep within the woods, the cabin turned into secluded, surrounded by the aid of towering timber and dense undergrowth. It changed into the ideal vicinity to hide and regroup.Aria pushed open the creaky door and stepped interior. The cabin was small however relaxed, with a stone fireplace, wood furniture, and a layer of dirt that hinted at years of forget about."It's not a lot, however, it must keep us safe for now," she said, setting her bag down.Leo nodded, his eyes scanning the room. "It's ideal. We can support this area and make it our base."They spent the morning cleansing and organizing, remodeling the dusty old cabin into a livable area. Leo rigged up a few basic security features, setting up traps and alarms around the perimeter to alert them of any intruders.As the sun climbed better within the sky, they finally took a wreck. Aria sank into an old armchair, feeling the exhaustion of the past few day

The forest became eerily silent as Selene led the manner, her steps positive and fast. Aria and Leo observed near in the back of, their nerves on aspect. The darkness turned into oppressive, the moonlight barely filtering through the dense cover above. “Keep quiet,” Selene whispered, her voice barely audible. “They may already be on our trail.” Leo tightened his grip on his dagger, his eyes scanning the shadows. Aria felt the weight of the pendant in her pocket, a small comfort towards the concern gnawing at her. The institution moved quickly, the sound of their footsteps muffled with the aid of the gentle forest ground. Every crack of a twig or rustle of leaves set their hearts racing. "How some distance is this safe house?" Leo asked, his voice low. “Not a long way,” Selene responded. “But we ought to be careful. The hunter they sent once you isn’t simply skilled he’s relentless.” Aria’s stomach twisted at the notion. “Who is he?” Selene hesitated earlier than answerin

The forest was alive with whispers, the wind carrying faint echoes of danger that made Aria’s skin crawl. The group moved as one, each step calculated, their breaths shallow as if the sound alone could give them away. Selene leaned heavily on Aria, her wounds slowing her down, but her spirit remained unbroken. "We're close," she muttered, her voice barely audible. Leo kept his dagger at the ready, his sharp gaze scanning the path ahead. “We can’t afford to slow down. He’s closing in.” A distant rustle sent a jolt of fear through Aria. She turned, her heart racing, but the shadows behind them seemed empty. Still, she knew better than to trust the darkness. “Stay together,” Leo commanded, his voice firm. The safe house Selene had spoken of was supposed to be hidden deep within the forest a small cabin fortified by those who had once rebelled against Revenant. Aria clung to the hope that it still stood, though doubt gnawed at her. The group broke through a dense patch of tree

The wooded area became alive with eerie sounds as they trudged through the dense underbrush. Twisted branches reached out like skeletal arms, and the floor became slick with moss and decay. Each step felt heavier than the ultimate, the weight in their escape urgent on their shoulders. Aria held onto Selene, who limped beside her. The lady’s respiration was worked, her face faded and glistening with sweat. Leo walked beforehand, his dagger drawn, eyes scanning the darkness for any signal of movement. “Are you positive this sanctuary is real?” Leo requested, his voice reducing through the silence. Selene nodded weakly. “It’s actual. But... It’s risky to get there.” “More risky than this?” Aria snapped, gesturing to the looming shadows around them. Selene didn’t answer, her gaze constant on the floor. A sudden rustle within the timber iced over them of their tracks. Leo raised his dagger, and his muscle tissues tensed. “Stay close,” he whispered, his eyes narrowing. The r

The low growl reverberated through the ruins, sending chills down their spines. The air was heavy, and the sanctuary, though ancient and grand, felt anything but safe. Leo tightened his grip on his dagger, his eyes darting around the dark corners of the crumbling walls. “Stay alert. Whatever made that sound is close.” Aria shielded Eli, her heart racing. The child clung to her, trembling as the sound echoed again, closer this time. Selene’s steps faltered as she leaned against a stone pillar, her breath shallow. “We’re inside now. This place has its own rules. Be careful.” “What kind of rules?” Aria demanded, her voice sharper than intended. Selene looked up, her face pale. “The kind that punish the unworthy.” Before anyone could respond, a shadow moved across the ground, swift and silent. “There!” Leo shouted, pointing his dagger at the darkness. The shadow moved again, circling them like a predator stalking its prey. Aria held Eli tighter. “What is it?” Selene cl
