"Esther!? What did you do?!"

Axel practically screams once he sees the horde now following them.

"Axel!! Help me!!"

Esther begs

"You're leading a pack of them to us!"

Axel accuses.

"I-I don't know! They just suddenly came out of nowhere"

Esther stutters.

"What's that wound on your leg?"

Axel questions once he notices the wound on Esther's leg.

"!!!"

Esther widens her eyes before quickly coming up with a lie.

"I tripped and fell"

She lies through her teeth when her wound stings.

"What are you guys doing in the back!? We need to run!!"

Theo commands.

"Let go!"

Axel says as he harshly frees himself from Esther's grip.

"Axel-! You bastard! Lend me a hand! Didn't you hear I tripped and fell!"

She yells at him.

"Then it's your damn fault! I don't want to carry a burden with me!"

As Axel yells back the word 'burden' rings continuously in Esther's head.

"Don't joke around...... I-I'm not dieing here"

"I'm not...."

Esther mumbles as she tries to run only to stagger once again.
