Chapter 40: Chapter XXXVIII

They follow a path heading into the forest. It comes to Aidan that he feels familiar with the forest. It seems that he tried to flee from someone in the depths of this forest.

"Josh!" exclaims Aidan from the front. "It think, I've been in this forest."

"What?" Josh quickens his pace to catch up with Aidan — Amber moves sideways to avoid the boy.

"I think, I've been in this forest." Aidan repeats what he just said earlier.

"When have you been here?"

"Never." Aidan replies dryly. "I've seen it in a dream. I remember fleeing into this forest. "

"Phil?" Josh speaks quietly, an image of certain incident forming inside his head.

"Alfred Blackwood killed Phil in this forest." Aidan continues what Josh was thinking.

"Should we look for his grave too?"

"Dunno. I think it would be better if we do this one at a time."
