Namjoon and the two humans escape quickly, rushing through the never-ending forest once more.
They do not concentrate on the direction, they just get as far away from the village as they can.
Little do they know, they are being followed.

Jhope pov.
We start to slow down. We have been running for ten minutes straight and we dont know where we are.
Its deathly silent and 'night' is creeping upon us. I dont know if i can cound this as night, but it really looks like it.
"Its getting dark, we need somewhere to hide," I say. Jimin nods in agreement and so does Namjoon. "We should keep walking, I sense a prescence other than ours."
What?
I gulp...
"W-what do you mean?" I say in an unsettled tone,
"Be quiet!" Jimin whisper-shouts so I shut up instantly.
Namjoon points into the darkness, not far from here, "something is watching us"
"How do you know?" I ask,
"Hide, move slowly and keep down,"
Namjoon crouches, so does Jimin. I copy them. We start stepping over wet mud and leaves to make sure we dont make noise.
Snap.
What the fuck was that?
"Nam-"
"Run!"
We get dragged to our feet and we start sprinting.
I daren't look back but I can hear something large running after us, breating heavily.
I become separated from Namjoon and Jimin; they run towards the end of the forest but I run the opposite way.
I hear a bellowing growl.
I need to see what it is.
I catch a glimpse of what is behind me.
Its the same troll that showed us to Meredith's tent. Shit. I think he knows she is dead... because of us. Am I going to die?
As these thoughts overwhelm me, I run into a tree. My body hits the floor and everything goes dark.
-
I wake up, unaware of what is happening around me.
As my eyes focus, my eyes gaze upon the dark troll that had been chasing me. I can feel and smell its breath on me, it feels moist and smells rotten.
"H-help me..." I gasp, my voice barely reaching out.
The beast reaches out and grabs my throat with his barky-textured hand. "What did you do you fool!"
Barely able to breath I spit, "n-nothing!" Letting out a short lived cry, my body is lifted off of the ground.
Jimin pov.
We lose the thing that was chasing us, but also Jhope.
"Shit!" I exclaim as I bolt back towards Jhope. Namjoon follows.
I hear a growl and shouting in the distance, I run faster and faster until I see Jhope pinned against a tree and a troll glaring at him.
"Get off him!" I scream.
The troll turns around, seeing Namjoon and I, but then he faces Jhope again reaching out to him.
Namjoon distracts the troll. I sneak around the comotion and pick up an unsettled Jhope, breathing heavily and shaking.
I hold him as if I just rescued him from a fire and ask him to get on my back.
As soon as he does it, I run towards the end of the forest again.
-
I lay Jhope down on some grass and he sits up, "thank you so much, I thought I was going to die!" He cries.
"Its okay, youre okay now, c'mon snap out of it," I repeat, calming Jhope down.
-
After a few minutes of re-collecting ourselves, Namjoon returns, perfectly unharmed. "Hey,"
"Hi, is Jhope hurt?"
"Nothing that I know of,"
"I am fine!" Jhope jumps up. He completely brushed everything off, "What do we do now?"
