Chapter 8

Day 27

Kaine woke up terrified to the sounds of running and screaming. When he went out the door, he saw everyone terrified. He had never seen them until He saw Edward and ran towards him asking what was going on?

Edward answered : Some children have disappeared, some claim they entered the forest."

" The forest? Didn't you say it's Not allowed to enter?? Why don't you put guards there?

Edward responded angrily, "Who will volunteer to stand in front of that hell? You don't know how much we discussed the matter and how much we fought ?? Huuuh I'm sorry I didn't mean To take out my anger on you "

" It's okay are we going to the forest now ? "

"Yes, some people have volunteered to enter We will also not embrace a jacket if they have any trace. If it is not found, we will give up on the matter "

Kayne He couldn't say anything. He knows how much Edward loves the village and its people. If he surrenders, it means that he is afraid, too afraid to do anything.

"I can't believe I survived the place where even Edward Afraid to set foot in it "

After equipping themselves with worn-out weapons and some garden armor, they were ready to enter the great forest

in another place

"Damn, these damned wolves are so persistent. Are you finished there?"

"Y_yes ma'am

"Get some rest, we will start moving shortly, and we have to speed up our pace.""

But I don't remember that there should be wolves in this area. If they were wind wolves, I would understand, but they are feral wolves. Their place is near the forest. This means that either they are migrating because their mating time is approaching, or something has FRIGHTENED them.

BACK TO THE VILLAGE

"Is everyone ready?"

(Ummm)

"Huh fine let's enter! Kayne Don't stray from the group I can't be busy looking for someone else."

"Yes sure"

After walking for a few minutes

Kayne felt something

Something evil and ominous he looked at Edward trying to tell him that something is wrong but He already knew looking at his face So terrified Kayne was wondering what he saw The other villagers started vomiting Kayne's opinion was right

In front of them was a tree , Strange looking tree with several limbs hanging from it, and they looked like children's limbs, and there was something on the ground There was so much blood it looked like it was coming from the same place, unconsciously Kayne He began to concentrate, following the blood on the ground, and then he got there

Where the bodies of the children were, or what was left of them, their heads were on the ground, each face wearing a strange expression, and the heads were mixed with the children's entrails.

When Edward arrived at the place, the heads and scattered entrails did not scare him the most

What made him

most TERRIFIED

WAS KAYNE HIMSELF

With an expression on his face, Edward didn't know if Kayne was angry or happy

His expressions were full of ominousness, a smile from hell, eyes that did not blink, and breathing normal, as if he was sitting in front of a beautiful view at that moment. Kayne seemed In his own bliss

Suddenly he started remembering beautiful moments from his childhood.

"Teacher, come quickly."

"Yes? What happened?"

"Kayne he he He did"

"what did he d_"(Terrified, the teacher put her hands over her mouth)

Standing in front of the tree in the elementary school yard Kayne He plays with the body of the frog George, whom the students were taking care of. Poor George no longer has a head

Therapist: Why did you do that Kayne? Why did you kill George? Why were you playing with his corpse

Kayne : I wanted to free him from his torment. I love George. It was painful to see him sad, alone, and cold.

Therapist:But you didn't free him, you killed him, he's dead now

Kayne with the same smile he had now : NO He'S IN a BeTtEr PlAcE nOw

The unbearable scene, the scene that made even the former veteran mercenary Edward shudder, awakened a fragment of Kayne's memory.

"Hey Edward What should we do now "

"Huh ? What do y_you mean Kayne"

" "We're _ already surrounded."

(Dozens of goblins on and behind the trees. Everything was there from the beginning.)
