The forest stretched before me like an endless labyrinth of shadows and whispers. My heart was pounding, driven by fear and adrenaline. My feet tripped over roots and stones as I ran, aimlessly, just following the instinct to escape from a dangerous situation.
After a while my resistance reached its limit and I was forced to stop. My legs were shaking and cold sweat was running down my forehead. I looked around, but the darkness was overwhelming. I leaned against a tree with Alicia in my hands unconscious. I was trying to catch my breath as my senses sharpened their listening.
A few meters away I heard some girls complaining about fatigue. I didn't know if they were hostile since they hadn't attacked me yet, but I didn't see any of them armed at first glance.
After looking at them I recognized one of the girls, she was the one I freed from the magician when he was in the concentration camp.
I calmed down a little, I wanted to think, I needed to think. I wasn't very aware of my situation at this time.
A moan of pain brought me out of my thoughts, Samantha's sister was bleeding badly. I immediately tore a piece of my clothes and began to bandage and treat his wound. She needed another place and more resources to help her, She looked very pale.
I removed her wizard robe, realizing that the bullet had only gone through one end near the abdomen and had come out. It seemed it hadn't damaged any organs, but she had lost a lot of blood because I took too long to attend to her.
The girls a few meters away approached and started to get nervous seeing Alicia's blood.
I did what I could to help her. After a while, I finished treating her as much as I could; the bleeding had stopped, but if it continued like this, she would die at any moment.
I was tired, but the difficult part was over. Seeing them somewhat relieved, I decided to ask for their names.
Robert: What are your names, girls?
Danny: Uh... I'm Danny... nice to meet you...
Apparently, she was very shy.
Bella: I'm Bella, you saved me from that wizard. I-I'm very grateful...
Robert: Don't worry, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to find Alicia.
As they introduced themselves, I could hear some noises even though we were far from the battlefield. He needed to find Samantha, but he didn't know what to do at that moment. His sister was in critical condition and he couldn't leave her like this, she needed to be treated urgently.
After having strong inner conflicts, I decided to make a choice. take care of her sister for now... it's what Samantha would have wanted.
Robert: Alright, girls, listen. We need to find shelter, we can't stay here. Someone might find us, and Alicia has lost a lot of blood.
Bella: Let me help you carry her.
Danny: ...I... I want to help too...
The three of us lifted her carefully. We walked for a while, damn, I needed something. I couldn't see anything like a shelter in the middle of this forest. I started to notice that the forest was getting darker.
It was already night, so we could barely see anything. After walking for a while, we saw a faint light in the distance, I think it was moonlight. Finally we saw something in the middle of this forest to guide us. I felt as if we had been in this forest for hours, with a strange feeling that someone was watching us from afar. We followed the light and came to a moonlit clearing with a river in the middle.
