No one's POV

After a while, the sky then turns into an orange and yellow color mixed together. It was about hit night time.

the group left the house and then said goodbye to the villagers who waved at them

Old woman: "Remember! if you want somewhere to stay, you know where to go!"

the group nodded, and then Molly got on the horse and tweek and craig get in the carriage, waved their goodbyes again, and then set off

The world unfolds as the carriage begins to move, leaving the village and its inhabitants behind. As the air carries the scent of new paths and possibilities, the group sets out into the night.

Sébastien the cowboy who the group talked to a few hours ago, looked at the stars as he was outside  of his house, leaning on the small fence that was around his house and was high to his waist, he was crossing his arms as he looks up at the small bright dots

Creak...

A woman about older than Sébastien, she then walked and was now next to him she looked up at the bright dots and then looked at Sébastien

Woman: "What are you doing out here this late?"

She asked with some curiosity in her voice and then looked up once again.

Sébastien: "thinking.."

Woman: "About what?"

Sébastien: "About what happened hours ago...that girl... Molly, right? Wait, you weren't there, my bad -"

Woman: "Nah, I was, I was on the stairs and saw you four talked for a while. And yeah, what about the girl?"

Sébastien: "Well, she caught my attention. No girl caught my attention until she came along... She's different from the rest.....I don't know why she's the only girl that caught my eyes instead of the rest..."

Woman: "Did you ask her out -"

Sébastien: "No. Didn't want to scare her. And I already made her pissed off at me when I said something that sounds mean... b-but I was curious and confused because I thought that you're the only girl who fights, but she can too......but different, you know?"

The woman then shrugs and then looks at the cricket making the sounds, and then she taps it with her slipper, and then she stops and makes it jump and jump as it goes away

Woman: "I get it. She's different from the rest, and you met no woman like her or similar to her. I understand, bas."

She said as she looked at the cricket jumping off, Bas is Sébastien's nickname, she made the nickname and used it so much times, she only uses his name when he's introuble or something is serious.

Sébastien: "Do you think they will come back very soon or not?"

Woman: "I'm not sure bas, maybe or maybe not, I know you want to see her again, but you have to wait patiently. But who knows, maybe they will and might stay for a while or maybe achieve what they want and live in the north... but didn't they say they will visit here again soon?"

Sébastien: "Yeah... I hope very soon.."

Woman: "Keep hoping and never stop bas."

She then ruffled her little brother's hair and then walked away and opened the front door
