บท 102: ~°~Chapter One-hundred & Two~°~

I wince at this, Virgil's father was a very important figure in Pine Creek but I still couldn't remember exactly what his position was. "Are they going to cut down the pines?" I ask in a small voice, depressed at the thought but if it kept people from dying then that would be the best option to take.

"No." Mae says shortly and I can hear the tightness in her voice. "The pine trees are staying but people started to move out, the people left stayed away from the woods and no one has gone missing anymore."

"Oh!" I exclaim. "That's why everywhere seemed so empty while we were coming back, do you think they'll come back?" I ask in worry, I didn't want Pine Creek to become a ghost town.
