Aberdeen City, 16 years prior
"Found you!" The little girl giggled as she looked at Ansel, her bright emerald eyes shining in glee, her chubby cheek red from panting and from excitement.
She then extended her hand to him and he, subconsciously, went out to take it.
She pulled him up and guided him to move. They ran deeper into the forest and farther from the eerie abandoned warehouse where he escaped from.
He could only watch as she dragged him through the bushes, with her jumping over protruding roots with ease.
Of course, because he wasn't as skilled as she was, and what met him were occasional leaves and branches slapping him.
However, running through the forest like this felt a little… fun.
But, these moments of peace did not last long as the familiarly terrifying bellows soon sounded in their ears.
"There they are!!"
"I SEE THEM!"
