Their Story: First Encounter II

[ FLASHBACK: First Encounter ]

Young Eve made Alaric lay on the ground. She tore her dress, using the cloth to wrap his wound.

Alaric's body felt so heavy and weak. He could only listen to Eve's footsteps. She was walking around the old stockroom as if she was searching for something.

"I found old blankets!" Eve's elated voice echoed in the stockroom.

In a brief moment, she was sitting next to Alaric. She covered his body with the old blanket. Then she placed his head on her lap.

"You take a rest to regain your energy. I'll be watching you." Eve's soft voice soothed him.

He thought he was going to die. But this young girl started taking care of him. 

"Are you cold?" Eve asked him when she saw Alaric clutching the blanket.

Alaric just shook his head.

"You can sleep now," she said. Eve gently stroked his hair and started singing.
