Veon and Sheloah kept running. They were buying some time for the other two to prepare for the molotov cocktail.
Sheloah also had a lot of questions running in her head. How did they arrive here, and why was Veon together with Kiress? She also wondered why she was locked up. She also wondered what Kreiss told Veon and if ever they are in good terms.
As they were running, Veon suddenly tightened his grip on Sheloah's hand, making the girl go back to her senses. She looked at him and was taken aback when Veon pulled her in his arms, hiding behind a large tree.
They were catching their breaths the moment they hid behind the tree. They don't want the zombie out of their sight, either. They could only rest for a short while.
"Veon, we have to go. The zombie might—"
Sheloah could not finish her statement. Her eyes widened when her head hit Veon's chest. His arms cradled Sheloah inside, making her feel small. Only then that the girl realized that she was being embraced by Veon.
