CH 43: The Kiss

Sarra, who was drinking a cup of water, suddenly coughed. She didn't expect such a question.

" What should I say? "

- I...I'm a human just like Laila...

Dylan wanted to stop the conversation before it got worse.

- I think we must sleep, it is kind of late. We still have a long way to go.

- You're right. Let's sleep.

Everyone lay down and slept except for Laila. She kept hearing some noises coming from the forest around them.

" What is this? is it an animal? what kind of animals live in this place? what if a wolf or a bear suddenly attacks us?..."

Since Sarra was holding Annie, Laila didn't find a choice but to get closer to Dylan to feel more secure.

" He is already sleeping, I will sleep beside him.

She carefully lay beside him, and then she closed her eyes and slept. Dylan could feel her right behind his back. When he made sure that she slept, he turned around and kept staring at her sleeping face.
