Rachel Wood scrambled to hide inside the cave. She knelt in front of its entrance to see her pursuers running in the opposite direction. They hadn't realized she had gone uphill.

She released a long sigh as she sat in front of the cave's entrance to catch her breath.

The others were still running.

The road split into two at the bottom of the hill, with one leading to the forest while the other led to the farmland.

The villagers split into two groups to head in different directions.

Rachel knew that they wouldn't find her there in a short time.

She decided to wait until nightfall and figure out a way to get out of there when nobody was around.

She was too exhausted now and severely dehydrated. She couldn't run any longer.

There would be nothing but doom if she fought against them now with brute force.

It was pitch black and freezing in the cave, but she wasn't afraid.

She had already experienced the worst thing in the world back in the house, so nothing could make her feel more afraid again.

As the silence stretched on, she could hear the sound of water in the cave.

She followed the sound in the dark.
