Chapter 118: Catching Up part 2
"Why were they carrying you?" Heather asked.
"Apparently because they could tell something was approaching where we were and that they knew it would soon find that we were there," Elin answered.
"Did it catch you?" Sonya asked,
Elin couldn't help but feel like they were wanting to ask questions more than actually listen to what happened. Otherwise she would have thought that they'd wait a little more patiently to what she was saying.
"I guess you could say it did, but that was after we beat a hobgoblin that was waiting for us on the stairs from the room we had fought the goblins before we had to run," Elin answered.
"So, what was behind you?" Sonya asked, excitement clear in her voice.
"Uh, it turns out it was a doppelganger," Elin said. "Kim defeated it, but I overused my MP trying to heal her after."
"Wait, why did you need to heal her?" Heather asked.
Elin sighed. She'd skipped some detail because they were clearly wanting her to go faster. Yet, she'd done it in a way that made them want her to go back a little. She couldn't help but start to feel a little regret at wanting to catch up with them right away.
However, at the same time, she found she couldn't bring herself to say what had happened. She could recall what happened, but the emotions that seeing Kim being disemboweled brought up coursed through her again, making her throat feel like it was closing up. The edges of her vision also started to darken, though she couldn't think of how she'd be able to stop it.
"Kim nearly died in order to defeat the doppelganger," Elmo said suddenly, startling Elin out of the downward spiral she'd found herself in.
