Just keep running... Just keep running, you told yourself, your breath heavy, the painful stitch in your abdomen, yet you couldn't stop; they'd find you then, and you refused to go back; if you had to run through this forest until morning, then you sure as hell would, yet Magitek's voices were still as clear as day.

"I saw her go this way." "Don't resist, princess; we know you're here." "Come out."

Their voices echoed out in the forest. Don't listen... Don't listen. They'll leave; just give them time.

You turned a sharp corner around a tree, but as you did, you felt something latch onto your wrist, bringing you down into a bush. You were about to let out a scream until a hand covered your mouth.

"Stay quiet."

The voice whispered, but you could hear the seriousness in his tone. Was this a blessing or a curse? Only time could tell.
