James, you have to survive. I have to find you!
She wiped the corners of her eyes and forced herself forward, sprinting across the bridge.
“James…”
The men were still a good distance behind. They probably couldn’t hear her.
But just in case, she kept her voice low, barely whispering his name.
No answer.
Almost a kilometer of riverbank stretched ahead of her. In the dark, spotting a moving figure was nearly impossible.
But if there were lights, if someone used a flashlight, it would stand out immediately.
She didn’t dare use her phone’s flashlight. Instead, she ran in the dark, scanning the churning waters beside her with every step.
She ran for what felt like forever. Still, no sign of him.
The black river, the rustling trees, the heavy silence-it all pressed in around her. Her heart slowly sank into despair.
She was terrified that even if James had managed to escape the wreck, the freezing water might have claimed him anyway.
“James, where are you? Can you hear me?”
Her voice cracked as it rose, trembling with panic.
She wanted to jump into the river, to find him herself.
But if she did that.. then what?
The river was too long, the current too fast. She had no idea where he might be.
She would never find him. She’d drown before she got close.
“Ahl
Lost in panic, she suddenly tripped over something,
She stumbled forward, then instinctively looked down-and froze.
It was a person.
James
Under the moonlight, she saw his face clearly, and her tears instantly fell like rain.
His body was ice cold.
His eyes were shut tight.
She called his name over and over again, but he didn’t move at all.
He looked… lifeless.
No….
Her whole body started shaking violently, tears, pouring down her face.
She didn’t even dare to check if he was still breathing.
But in the end, she forced herself to do it. She lifted her trembling hand and felt under his nose.
Thank God.
There was still the faintest trace of breath.
He was alive!
“James, wake up. Please wake up…
She pinched him hard, but his face didn’t even twitch.
He was completely unconscious.
And the voices of those men were getting closer.
She wished he would suddenly open his eyes, tell her he was okay, tell her he’d be fine.
But he was too far gone
He wasn’t waking up anytime soon.
There was no time left.
She braced herself, wrapped her arms around him, and tried to lift him onto her back
He was so damn heavy
She failed.
The two of them fell together onto the ground.
James couldn’t walk on his own. He was out cold.
If she couldn’t carry him, if she couldn’t get them out of here. then when those men caught up, they were both dead.
She clenched her jaw, pushed down the panic, and forced herself to try again.
Every ounce of strength in her body, she poured into lifting him.
Somehow, she managed to get him onto her back.
It felt like she was carrying a mountain.
Every step was agony. Her legs trembled. Her shoulders screamed.
But she didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.
She had to keep going.
Luckily, the cave wasn’t far
She stumbled and staggered through the darkness, every inch of her body on the verge of collapse.
But she kept going
And finally, she reached the cave.
The entrance was narrow. No way she could carry him inside like this.
She lowered him gently by the mouth of the cave, crouched down, and crawled inside.
Then she gritted her teeth and started dragging him in with her.
Behind them, the voices of the men echoed louder and louder.
James destroyed our operation! We lost so many brothers because of him-we’ll make him pay!”
“Hey! Look! The ground’s w?t! There are footprints!”
Her skin crawled at the sound of their voices. Every word was filled with murder.
The cave was deep. Wide, too, But the entrance was small, easily missed in the dark.
If they could just hide inside quietly… maybe they’d have a chance.
Lily hauled James deeper into the cave, heart pounding, praying no one had seen them.
And just outside, the monsters kept getting closer.
“Those footprints are too small. They don’t look like James. Could someone have rescued him?”
The men suddenly let out low, sinister laughs,
“Well, isn’t that interesting? Someone came to die with him!”
