Foreword
~*~*Prologue~*~*
*Huff Huff Huff*
A young girl runs through the dark forest, terror glowing in her eyes as the moonlight guides her through the trees. She pants heavily and her legs are searing with pain, but she does not stop running.
She can still hear the men following her from behind.
From the corner of her eye, the girl can see a faint beam of a flashlight. Her heart pounds in her chest and she quickly moves away from the flashlight’s range.
Her eyes feel like they’re on fire and her sense are on full alert.
She faintly hears the shouts of her pursuers and the rustling of their feet, similar to her own, as they step on the leaves and twigs of the forest.
“Appa… Omma… Oppa!” the young girl quietly cries, continuing her escape.
Using the little moonlight she has, the girl manages to spot a cave ahead of her path. She summons what little energy she has left to sprint towards the cave. As soon as she enters the cave, her legs give away and she collapses onto the ground. Cold sweat slowly drips down her face. She gulps once she realizes she’s too close to the cave’s entrance; she could be found. The girl painfully crawls back further into the cave, silently praying the cave’s darkness will shelter her from the men trying to find her. Exhaustion overcomes her and she finds herself feeling drowsy. The burning sensation in her eyes is gone, but now her eyes feel unusually heavy and now all she wants to do is sleep.
Although she is telling her eyes to stay open, her body wouldn’t listen to her command. The last thing on her mind before nightmares overtake her is a silently prayer that she would be alive in the morning
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The sun is at its highest point of the day. A middle aged man is out camping with his son in the forest. The man is cooking lunch in a pot hanging over a campfire, stirring its contents. He takes a spoonful of the stew and smells the aroma. The man smiles, satisfied with the smell, and continues stirring the stew. The man’s son is standing on a boulder a few feet away from their camp. The boy looks around their surroundings with a pair of binoculars.
“What are you looking for?” the man asks his son.
“We’ve been camping for over a day now and I have yet to see any animals other than birds,” the son replies, his eyes still wandering. “I’m hoping to see at least a deer.”
The man smiles at his son and resumes cooking.
The son continues surveying his surroundings. A cave located southeast from their camp catches the boy’s eyes. He hops off the boulder and begins trudging towards the cave. “Appa, I’m going to do a little exploring before lunch.”
“Okay, but be careful,” his father warns. He sees his son already far away from the boulder he was just standing on. “Sehun-ah! Don’t wander off too far okay?!” He sees his son turn around to nod before walking off again.
Sehun approaches the cave with an intrigued look. He peers inside the cave, but he cannot see anything. Sehun takes out his pocket flashlight from his pocket and inspects inside. At first, all he sees are stone walls and dirt. He crouches down, entering inside the cave to get a better look. He hears a sound and Sehun jumps from shock. He shines the light further into the cave. Sehun gasps when the light shines on the body of a girl. He feels the color draining from his face as he stares at the body. But then he notices the faint motion of the body rising up and down. Sehun goes on his knees and flashes the light on her body. The girl rustles around and moans from the bright light. She looks around the same age as Sehun, maybe a little bit older.
But the important detail is that the girl is alive.
Sehun holds her up in her arms, setting his flashlight to the side. “Hey… Hey! What happened to you?”
The girl’s eyes remain closed, her breathing shallow. Sehun notices how pale and cold she is and wonders to himself if she slept in this cave throughout the night. Sehun her hair away from her face. “Don’t worry! I’ll get my appa to help you! Please hang on!” He slowly sets her back on the ground and rushes out the cave. When he is able to see the camp, Sehun screams from afar. “APPA!”
His father looks around frantically until he can see Sehun from the distance. “SEHUN! What’s wrong?!”
“I found a cave! A girl is inside and she’s in pain! I need your help!” Sehun pleads.
“Oh no! I’ll be there! Take care of her until I get up there with the first-aid kit!”
Sehun nods and runs back to the girl inside the cave. He kneels by her side again. He gently shakes her, coaxing her to open her eyes. “Please don’t die, please don’t die,” Sehun mutters to himself. The girl makes a weak, croaking sound. Sehun sighs with relief. “My dad is coming here to help. You’ll be okay now!”
The girl’s eyes open slightly. “W-Where… W-Who…?” she rasps.
“I’m Oh Sehun. Do you have a name?”
The girl’s eyebrows crinkle in thought, and Sehun could tell she is struggling to remember. He regrets asking the question because it seems like she is in mental pain.
But Sehun gets his answer.
“Sooyoung… My name is Sooyoung…” she whispers.
