Alone Together in Lone Valley

[BONUS]

Evie didn't know what to make of the situation when she found Ren alone in front of Lone Valley. What happened to the others?

"Where are the others?" she asked.

Ren shrugged, "I don't know."

"What's going on?" she inquired further. If this was a plot for her and Ren to be alone then she wasn't amused. "Didn't you say that they were coming?"

Ren looked down at her with an unreadable expression. "If you want to, you can call them. I've been trying to contact them since morning."

Evie's suspecting expression was hidden under the mask, and she decided to call the others herself. It wasn't like she thought that Ren was lying. It was just . . . to make sure that he wasn't lying.

"Hello?" Evie greeted as soon as Leonel picked up.

"Leo, are you not coming with us to Lone Valley?" she asked immediately.

Leonel coughed on the other line. "Sorry, I'm sick. I had too many drinks last night that I couldn't even get out of bed."
