Juniper finally felt free. She left that sick place and was now able to run away with Coriolanus.
But she had a gut feeling that something was off, she just couldn't wrap her head around.
The two had stopped for Coriolanus to make a walking stick out of stick he found, "You want one?" He asks picking them up.
Juniper paused in her tracks, "You killed three people?" She asked going over their conversation they had a few minutes ago.
She slowly turned around, scared to hear his answer. Coriolanus didn't look at her or start to speak.
"Who's the third?" She asks again.
"Sorry, what?" He asks trying to put together the walking stick.
"The person that you killed. You said that there was three people you killed, who was the last person?"
"Coriolanus. Do not lie to me." Her voice now angry with how he was avoiding the question.
"I-I'm not." He says focusing on the stick.
"Coryo." June spoke, as she began to loose her temper once more.
"You said that you killed two people. And I only know about Mayfair and Billy. So who's the third person you killed?"
June waited for him to react as she stared intently into his pale eyes, but gave nothing away.
All she wished for was for him was the whole truth. So what was holding him back?
Coriolanus diverted his gaze and stooped to seize a delicate flower behind her ear, trying to distract her.
The two locked eyes for a second as he began to answer her question, "My old self."
"I killed him so I was able to leave with you."
Even though he sounded so sincere, something was holding Junioer back from believing him.

The pair made it to the small cabin safely, as it began to rain, them making it back in time.
