Lucia heard Gastone screamed her name. She looked back, but he was no longer there.
"Gastone?" Lucia called, but before her were just rows of trees. She looked around, but there was no trace of him.
Pain struck Lucia's heart and her feet moved on their own, venturing deeper into the forest in hopes of seeing Gastone one more time.
"Miss! Are you lost?" a voice spoke from afar. It was a group of hunters preparing to dive deeper into the forest, but they saw Lucia.
"Huh? No… I just… I'm searching for someone," Lucia replied and stepped back. She lowered her head and a tear fell to his foot. That was when she realized she had been crying.
"You should report to the authorities, Miss. It's dangerous to embark on this area alone," a man stated and gestured for his team to escort Lucia out of the woods.
Lucia obligated and it didn't take long before they were out to the streets.
"A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou."
