Rory fumbled with his things, makings sure that every one of them was in place. He kept looking around him, still hoping to get a glimpse of Alexander. But no matter how many times he did, there was no trace of him.
He couldn’t risk calling him out at the chance that he might get found out, especially now that the only thing that he had was the element of surprise.
He only prayed that the man was close by to hear him, because he could not understand how he was still not there, even at the sign of danger.
He stopped for a bit, feeling his bones shake when he realized something. ‘what if Alexander was also in trouble somewhere?’
It made him shiver just thinking about it. His heart pumped erratically at seeing a wounded Alex out in the woods, fending off hordes of creatures in his mind.
