Chereads / Drown Me In Deep / Chapter 16 - That Hollow Feeling

Chapter 16 - That Hollow Feeling

Here I am again.

Feeling hollow and purposeless.

I can't help but think about giving up as I sit in the middle of a blood drenched battleground covered in dirty red foliage.

Even though Luna and Luka wrapped me in thick leaves to stop the bleeding from the wounds on my body, it still won't prevent the anguish bleeding from my brain.

I look up with my eye that isn't covered in an eye patch and I see Luna and Luka towering over me both offering their hand for me to get up.I tightly grip their hands each with one of my hands as they pull me up.

I put my weight on both of them and allow myself to hang free between their arms.They're still covered in thick, sticky elf blood and have deep wounds on their body.

I would help them if I didn't feel like I was deteriorating…

"I think we should find a place to rest before we continue walking, it's getting dark."Luna tells Luka as she signals towards the sky.

Just a few steps away from where we were, we spot a place completely surrounded with tall trees so it's perfect to hide in.

Luna puts me down with Luka while she goes to grab wood to burn.

I lean on Luka for warmth since the cold autumn wind running wild through my cloak accompanied by the nighttime weather sends strong chills along my spine.

Luna comes back after a while with some firewood and logs for sitting on.

Luka carefully puts me down on a log to rest as he goes to help Luna with the fire.

Once that's done we all sit in front of the crackling fire watching it burn quietly.
