He shook his head. "No. It was quiet save for some animals scurrying around."

"Good. You'd wake me up if he did, right? I don't want you facing him alone."
He nodded. "Yeah, I would. He scares the shit out of me. I can never tell when he's lying or just trying to manipulate me by telling me partial truths."

"Like with the healer," she murmured softly.
He nodded. "Exactly like that. But he's here on this plane now so I don't know if he still needs me or wants me for something." He shivered and hugged himself. "I... I just hope he's done."

She wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "I hope so too. And if he isn't... We'll find a way."
He nodded. "I know. This is why I love you. Now come on... Let's get going."

She nodded and picked up the backpack, slinging it over her shoulder. "Lead the way."
He held her hand and led the way. He was starving but she wouldn't let that stop him. He had to keep moving. They still had at least a day's walk, maybe two before reaching the cabin.

Maeva walked with him. She tried not to let it show, but she was worried. What if they didn't make it to the cabin? What if the police were waiting there for them? What if the organisation found them, or Roger's father came back and attacked them? They were both tired and hungry, and mourning the loss of their best friend. They were vulnerable. And she didn't like it one bit.
Now that she'd had some rest, she tried to envision the cabin several times throughout the day. She never felt or saw anything suspicious, and that managed to put her mind at ease a little. She still remained quiet most of the time, right up until the sun was setting again and they got to a bit of an open spot in the woods.
"Hey... Shall we stop here for the night?" she asked, squeezing Roger's hand.
