66 A DISTRACTION

They skipped enemies' eyes and slid inside the tent. The inside of the tent was dark and quiet. They couldn't see anything.

Veronica's heart was thumping. She was never this tense even when she went on a journey in the mountains. She couldn't stand the silence and opened her mouth to speak.

That's when they heard a voice from behind.

"What are you doing here? You are not allowed to be here. Leave!"

The calm yet sharp voice was familiar. Veronica called out, "Remus?"

The person ignited a candle and the fire illuminated the face. Veronica was correct. It was Remus indeed.

"Don't just stand there. Leave before anyone enters," Remus urgently hurried them.

However, those two had no intention of leaving. The inside of the tent brightened up thanks to the candle. The special place had no furniture. Only a few jars of water and some glasses.
