Chapter 276: Cold And Not Completely Alone
All I could remember was Dace’s absolute warmth to my body, but all that was gone in a matter of seconds and all I could feel was nothing but the cold temperature, the blowing draft, and the chilliness that ran through me every second. His heat was gone, one that always seemed to consume me and take the cold completely away... it was now I realized how cold it was, I should be thankful that I wore extra layers of clothing.
All I did was stare at the path he blurred at and I felt nothing but lost without him. I felt sunken and bare, a part of me missing and my heart getting folded by an unexplainable pain, my mark pulsing and giving off a cold feeling and wanting to be with its owner.
Despite all this, I had to remind myself why I did it... for Emilia’s sake, for I knew Dace wanted nothing more but to be with his sister but I was getting in the way, I knew from the very beginning that he wanted to go to her... those two have a lot to settle and talk about and I only did what was right, I hope I did what was right this time because it seemed to me that I do everything wrong, I really hope this ends well...
I exhaled sharply as I shivered from the cold before resuming my walk to the nearby road. The forest was super calm now... and I no longer felt safe from anything. Dace was gone and I was left with being super cautious with my environment, my eyes scanning every area, and anxious about any slight sound that came in.
I just couldn’t wait to get on the road, I didn’t think I would be able to breathe until I did so...
*Meow*
I ceased abruptly when that sound came in, okay what was that? Was that a meowing sound?
"Keep walking Emma, keep walking" I mumbled to myself as I took a step forward.
*Meow*
I stopped again because hearing the sound coming in once again I was able to tell how low and weak it was. Unable to hold it in anymore I twirled, my eyes scanning for the direction of it. If it’s a meow sound it must be a cat right? Or something dangerous...
*Meow*
