Vaslavis Clan: The Past (21)

With her short legs and small feet, Zarya traveled through the forest. She walked and walked, refusing to stop for even a moment. 

Her ragged breathing drowned out her cries. 

Her footsteps drowned out the desperate screams of her heart. 

The potion that Hanom had given still did the job of numbing her pain. However, Zarya's tracks were laden with blood. It wouldn't be strange if the girl suddenly ended up collapsing. 

'Fraley… Fraley said she will be with me soon. She just needs to bury Neverio. I will trust her.'

No matter how much she convinced herself, the little Zarya couldn't find it in herself to fully trust the woman. She remembered that there was something in Fraley's eyes that she couldn't understand, making her waver. 

'She said she will. She promised me. We made the pinky promise.'

Tears continued to race down her pallid cheeks while she repeated those words in her head.
