Stab!
A weapon pierced her chest, pinning her in the mud.
Looking at the face of the tall stranger, who had lowered his head, she murmured, "P- Please… Let me go! I'm still a kid…"
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Three more enormous wounds appeared in the kid's chest. Her eyes widened, and she struggled to exhale one last breath, before she stopped moving.
The tall stranger pulled his weapon out of the mud and didn't even give her a second glance before he strode off.
A few minutes later, there was the sound of gunfire in the woods, mixed with panicked shouts and the sounds of running, before a blood-curdling scream rang out.
Five people suddenly burst out of the woods in the rain.
They were none other than the county officers, Lucas Barton among them.
Luke nimbly ran dozens of meters in front of them. He spared the officers a mere glance, before he narrowed his eyes and looked behind them.
Clap! Boom!
