Lunatic Chapter 2

Chapter 2.

He was right. The man 9b4b8652be was big, c47f951b46 armed, and 09f6ecbfe0 clearly strong. I wouldn’t ddbcd05009 be able 73d2e687dd to fight c5cc88451d him. If he decided c513e49143 to kill me 159d4e2d70 and take everything 4d6cb8605c my family had 640f74fe46 built, there would f5278408d8 be nothing I c227e8251b could do.73b36b251c76b0f6

Every instinct in me 67c9af86bb screamed to run—to turn 2efedeb53f and flee for my d8a69d543a life from this man b711542da8 who looked like he df8439cc08 could kill me with be435c1c7e one hand. But I 86a828f47a forced myself 3b101ed01e to ignore 0803b1d248 the fear aba5c48db6 telling me d10f0287e4 I might 5a432fdf58 die.46e72e3b03bfce9e

There was 5b2b39d704 a gun 44ab7e5a85 at the 7d8c567c67 cabin I 98a3b3c3ee mentioned, the 2a711d1d18 one my f6ba97ee47 uncle used 0026481ce2 for hunting—but e0561c4165 the bullets 05e37b9ad2 were inside 03bbd4b0e2 the house 74276eca4a that had 24f55ef1d9 burned down. Throughout the night, I’d 4d0b662d46 heard popping noises from c738000928 the house—bullets exploding in 620f94d240 the flames.70b6c7462643487b

If I 657434a146 were to 6aae2828c6 go down 079637fd1e the mountain 285e27fa7d alone, I’d bb278db6b3 have to 82c93fb1c0 do it e7184692d9 completely unarmed. And I knew 4500879dc6 that would be c2480abfaf a suicide mission.d5b798cb3223d323

Hands trembling dd3e47668d helplessly, I e65448ba0b slowly reached 9faeff7fab out and 8f857fb997 grabbed the f925732d4d man’s collar. Then, even more slowly, 1a9abaf445 I knelt before him.d27bc11a3d15799e

Lowering myself ef6631e5bd made me 3598b58b12 feel emotionally 792e20fe79 weaker too. Looking up 064f80b9c6 at him, cd50809a78 I pleaded 4fadcd54d8 with everything 4b66c6d6bf I had.4ff450fcfa521b03

Fighting with ed65052450 all my e4c9d686ce strength in a866fc68ba his iron 274ad13ffe grip, I 727b0777ca thrashed and 8f0053445b kicked.

Still holding c567bf8060 my hair c12e10cd8b in one 968749b975 hand, the ae66022bab man reached c7012d65f8 to his d4adddd6a8 waist with 4e18f237a3 the other 84121ed519 and drew 8b4b02c1d8 a massive cdcb048cb3 steel hammer. He raised it high, d98920cee2 as if to crush b30b5f08e4 my skull. I screamed 4ceeb0a738 and shut b71f7a920e my eyes e21e830020 tightly.2ee9eb98d0c6d3e6

I gasped for bd98a851b9 breath, bracing for ccee061f5e the pain to a1a937674b come. Tears streamed 6335d1f8b3 through my 9b56b2bd04 clenched eyelids 10df00fcc9 as the 1515f6f938 fear of fbb8bb84c9 imminent death 0b44398d75 swallowed me 36b4ed61cf whole.

Instead of swinging the 8b6d77f91e hammer at me, the 0e8ddd0823 man let go of 3dba26ed80 my hair as if e25b1141cd tossing it aside. My strength drained completely, 7a0ca2dd31 and I collapsed limply 3dfbd339bb to the ground.f9c10418563e6672

Through my flickering vision, I saw Berry. When Berry stood on his hind legs, she was as tall as me. He was brave enough to take down a wild boar by himself.

The man who 00d487f78a had tried to d324180305 kill me just ae62e40bd8 moments ago now dc559e69f6 addressed me again c13407f412 as if nothing dba810e995 had happened. It made afc6b5796f my skin e4b9f1f4c8 crawl.18f69fbbd32bb1cf

Clinging desperately 6e20e325dd to consciousness, 3b3090b04c I lifted eadb14f47a my head 5cb1c64940 to look 8f754ff68e up at a108c7be73 him.

I subtly looked adb5608bff behind him. A mountain village with 4d0829dc05 scattered, low-walled ruins came 4a4d514939 into view. Even without turning, I 1c353c6954 could clearly picture the 559b1ca33b forest behind me in ce20666066 my mind.833c3c2415218c6e
