The conversation of the villagers terrified her heart. They intended to enter the forest to hunt down the cursed boy, believing that he is the reason for her brother being sick. Her brother was loved by the villagers, so they became extremely worried when he fell ill. And as time passed and he didn't improve, they began to make up meaningless stories. But her brother was already getting better! She couldn't let them do that to the boy who helped her.

So she entered the place where the meeting was taking place and began to explain her adventure in the forest and as the boy they thought was bad, actually had helped her. But the villagers didn't listen, on the contrary, they made threats saying that she would show where to find the boy or else she would be arrested forever.

And when she denied it, they accused her of poisoning her own brother, preventing her from running away and locking her in the basement of the house. At night, all of them will hunt the boy and uses his blood to cure her brother, that was actually already healed... Tears come up to her eyes and her own scream shaked her body, that collapsed on the ground. "No... They can't do that to him... No... It's all my fault..." She thought to herself, in desperate.

The night falls, and the villagers went to the Dark Forest. The cries of the girl locked now was just murmurs 'cause almost all her strength go away. The silence outside made her heart despair more and more. A noise upstairs caught her eye, but she didn't want to get up. All she could do was pray the stars asking for the villagers not to find him.
