Chapter 0716

"Where are we?"

My sudden voice caused both Enzo and Daphne to jump. Realizing that I had just awoken, Enzo gently set me down. My legs were shaking, and the pain was still almost unbearable, but at least I could stand on my own two feet.

"Looks like there's a village up there," Enzo explained. He pulled aside some thick fronds to reveal what looked like a bonfire flickering in the distance. The music sounded soothing, and the sounds of laughter and singing carried through the forest.

I furrowed my brow, leaning in. A village... Luke and I had encountered one before we were taken by Mila. Could it be?

Suddenly, another cramp overtook me. This time, I really did fall to my knees before Enzo could catch me. A yelp of pain escaped my lips no matter how hard I tried to quell it, and both Daphne and Enzo cursed.

I felt strong arms loop around me, and then weightlessness as Enzo scooped me up.

"That's it," he said, marching through the ferns. "I'm taking her to that village. We can't keep going on, not with her like this."

"But Enzo-"Daphne cried out, only to be silenced by him once more.
