"Should we go back?" He asked after a short moment. I nodded, now was a good time to go back, have something to eat and turn in for the night.
"Yeah, that's a good idea." I said with a faint smile. As we walked back, neither of us noticed the shadow that passed through the sky.
As we arrived at the camp, we noticed the group sitting by the small fire. Vincent shot me a worried glance as soon as we stepped out of the woods. His expression turned to relief as soon as he saw my faint smile.
"So," Joshua said after we sat by the fire as well. "Anything out of the ordinary out there?"
I shook my head. "Nothing that we noticed." To be completely fair, we really hadn't looked at our surroundings too much. "We should still keep watch through the night." I added. No matter how safe we believed this place to be, we needed to stay vigilant and on guard.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Now, I do realise that some parts of the world celebrate it tomorrow, but please accept my best wishes regardless.
I wish all of you have a good, fun and most importantly, safe and healthy Christmas. For some, I know that means spending it alone, away from family. So, here is to hoping we can all spend next Christmas with our loved ones.
And allow me to thank you once again for your support. Writing this story has been the highlight of my year, and it's thanks to all of you.
Thank you.
