Jaehyun ran away from the village. The day Taeyong returned, he knocked on my door but got no response.
Jaehyun must've heard that and fled later during the night. Jeno and his family got taken.
Kingston was absolutely desolate and eerie when we left it.
Yes, that's right. Three days after Tae saved me, Jeno and his family were taken away.
They were the only ones remaining after Jaehyun escaped for good.
We thought that we shouldn't stay there anymore, especially because we were the last people left and would surely fall prey.
He didn't want me to get hurt anymore so I did not try to argue.
Despite me explaining the fact that my parents passed away and I promised to my mother that I'll stay there and watch the end of it, he wouldn't budge,
"So what if you made some promise. If I remember correctly, your mother was not very...nice to you before she died.
She blamed it all on you. I don't think you should be so kind to her after she did that when it clearly wasn't your fault. Come on let's go."
Was what he said before rushing to pack up our bags and asking me to take all the money I had.
This entire episode was rather heartbreaking.
Taeyong's words were harsh, bitter to the being but true. It could be said that my parents disowned me before their deaths and that will remain stuck in my throat like a pin,
piercing my skin and making me bleed everytime I try to move around and enjoy my life.
Well, what's remaining of it. I don't see any ray of hope in the near future.
So here we are, on our way to the nearest village, Snowshill.
If we could start anew, going through everything as the bestest of friends. Maybe a change in environment was needed at this point.
A place that is safe and buzzing with people. What Kingston was.
"That's deep."
I jolted at the sound of his voice, so lost in thought that I had completely forgotten about his existence right beside me.
I looked at him for a second and then turned my gaze down on the rocky path,
"Yeah...Wait how did you know that I was thinking about something deep?"
"You just said."
I blinked.
"Oh.."
"Hey what's wrong?"
He walked closer to me making my heart rate pick up. I shook my head.
"Ten, it's fine. I know this is all too much for you but we needed to do this.
I'm not letting you stay there and die. For all we know, Jaehyun could come back."
I squeezed his hand, letting him know that I didn't want to talk about Jaehyun.
"Cheer up. Okay? It'll all get better."
I nodded and slowed my pace as we soon reached our destination.
Snowshill is a serene mountain village. Draped with fog almost throughout the year and overshadowed by grey clouds.
It is always difficult to tell the time without looking at the clock. Contrary to the gloomy external appearance of the locality, it was quite a busy and bright place.
