Colin's POV

We all just watched the fire wrapping all farmhouse... Speechlessly...

He knew it... He knew that things will change for the worse... It was horrible... I still can't believe it.

"I'm sorry." Leon said and caressed my back.

Everybody thinks the same thing, what a tragedy for a 21-year-old girl! But no, I 'm not that weak.

"From now on, I, Colin Mornis, am your leader. Does anyone have an objection? No? GOOD."

"Unlike Deceased Rey -Rest In Peace, uncle.- I HAVE MY RULES. Shortly there are three rules. Obey them and survive, disobey them and die. So simple, right?"

"Number one: Don't get out of my sight and listen to my warnings carefully. It's my responsibility to keep you guys safe. Who will pay the money after all?"

"Number two: BE USEFUL. I hate lazy and helpless people."

"And finally, Number three..."

I walked towards Evelyn and Isabel. I raised my voice, like a general.

"If one of you starts a fight, I'll kick your ass. Understood?"

They all nodded. "ANSWER ME PROPERLY!" I shouted.

"Understood Ma'am!" They all responded.

I took out of a map and started looking at it.

"Huh, we're lucky. Unknown Forest is behind this hill. Let's go."

Evelyn objected. "ARE WE GOING TO WALK?!!!"

"Well, I'm going with Colin."

"Come on babe, think it like a hiking tour!"

"Okay..."

"Follow me."

Leon's POV

We walked for two hours to pass that god damn hill and reach the forest. And we walked at least FIVE hours in the FOREST.

In conclusion, our journey began terribly.

"Gah, I can't feel my legs." Isabel groaned in pain.

"It's getting dark. We can't be here" I added.

"What time is it?" Colin asked.

"17:45 PM. What about building a shelter?"

"That's too hard."

"I saw a cave. It's not too far." Isabel said.

"Okay then."

********************************

Man, everything is better right now. We settled in the cave Isabel said for this night. We have a fire, a little bit snack and we didn't catch the thunder. What more could I ask?

It was pretty boring inside. Almost nobody talked. Evelyn fell asleep very early. I took my jacket and covered her back. After leaving her, I slowly kissed her cheek.

Meanwhile, Isabel started watching the storm and murmured a song.

Tell me that you need me now
'Cause in my dreams you're still around
You've been gone for quite some time
It finally feels like you're not mine
