[LEANNA] 1.4

The cogon bed!

I hurried and went on my knees while my hands feel the dried grass.

It's still warm!

That means someone was sleeping here not long ago.

A sense of relief and happiness filled me, which ultimately left me baffled.

I'm just happy because that means he hadn't left and he didn't report the incident to his superiors.

I agree with my thoughts.

Or he wanted to search the mountains for survivors to kill.

My face sank. Panic replaced the warmth within seconds, and I sighed in surrender.

There's no use in overthinking things.

What will happen will happen.

The important thing is to survive during these times of war.

I gathered my bearing and made my way towards the stream.

I was too focused on my thoughts that I didn't notice I was already near the river, out in the open. When my eyes decided to check the stream for any signs of life, it almost went out of its sockets.
