67 Chapter Sixty-Six: Lost

Emily burst out into giggles as she mocked her stupidity.

She finally received the lesson for putting her trust in a stranger.

Who would have known that by the moment she reached the opposite end of the stream and turned to look back at the masked man, all that greeted her eyes was the darkness of the forest?

No one was standing there, waiting for her to complete the condition that he put forward in return for his help. 

Just how much worse her decisions could turn out? 

A sigh left her lips as she slowly slumped down on the ground. The pain that had erupted in her body had started to make breathing difficult for her.

The pain in her chest was the worse out of all her injuries. It was like someone was continuously hitting her chest with a huge force.

Her hands traveled into the cold running water of the stream and another sigh left through her lips.
