Her Last Wish

"Arthur!"

Arthur got out of bed, startled at the sight he sees. 

"Alice?"

The blonde girl whom he had not seen in over a month is panting, worrying, then running toward him.

"Wait!"

She didn't listen and immediately bumped to him, giving him a very tight hug. 

"Why did you suddenly disappear?" asked her in a very sore tone. 

The hug, the question, the emotion. Arthur wanted to respond to all of them, but he hold himself to answer. 

"What are you doing here?"

Then asked Alice back instead. 

At Arthur's cold response, Alice let go of her hand, then look at Arthur's face in guilty, but Arthur won't look back at her. 

"I am sorry. You disappeared from the outpost for over a month. I ask people, but their answers are always told me to wait for you. But I -"

"Then you should have wait!"

Alice shocked at that yell. Arthur seems mad at her appearance. He doesn't expect her existence.
