บท 147: An Eye For An Eye

Two hours before sunrise, Ethan stirred in his sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a young lady sleeping in his embrace.

As much as he wanted to let her sleep a little longer, he knew that this was no longer possible.

He gently shook her awake, and Chloe groaned in response as she opened her eyes. It was still a bit dark, so she had a bit of trouble adjusting to the darkness.

“Ethan?” Chloe asked sleepily. “What’s wrong?”

“We need to leave the city,” Ethan whispered in her ears. “It seems that we are being targeted by hunters.”

Chloe’s body stiffened as the last dredge of sleep fled.

“Are you sure?” Chloe asked.

“Yes,” Ethan replied. “Let’s change our clothes and sneak out before they make their move.”

Knowing the severity of the situation, Chloe nodded and changed her clothes in the darkness.

Ethan did the same and, for a moment, only the rustling of clothes could be heard inside the room.
