Things To Bear

One thing sometimes inevitably led to the other, and this new situation at hand was something that Theodore did not find himself pleased by. He had been waiting for Lukas and Chaerin.

His foot tapped lightly on the ground as he counted the minutes. About this time, the Forest Dwellers should have come back by now and so he wasn't stressed out when he saw a silhouette of someone coming from a certain direction.

Until the said silhouette collapsed onto the ground.

Theodore's eyes widened in alarm and he knew better than to approach the body. But it was one of the people from earlier–the brown-haired young man with tusks. He hadn't even gotten to know the name of the guy but the boy was gone in a snap.

It was time for him to make his escape, but also warn the two not to come down.

"Lukas–"

He started to call out but behind him something struck him in a flash, he found himself in the constricted darkness, squeezing him tightly enough to crush his body and then he was gone.
