Ruin Asher is lost for words as the stainless steel and broken glass attack, Koroi's world darkens and his mind darkens. woke up and looked at his eyes. Asher's face was upon him, and his face was dark. "Chloe, can you hear me?"he asked in a low and urgent voice. Chloe shook her head and rolled over in pain. Usher helped him sit up and survey his surroundings. The car broke down and the cab was wrapped around a tree trunk.

Chloe's memories come back - the hunt, the accident, Asher's desperate attempt to protect her. "God,"he whispered, his eyes looking at Asher. He pulled her in and wrapped her arms around him like a shield. "We're alive,"he whispered. "That's all that matters."But Chloe knew better. People who follow them will not stop until they die. "Asher, we have to move,"he urged. Asher nodded and scanned their surroundings. Deep in the forest, the main road was nowhere to be seen. He helps Chloe straighten her legs and supports her as she tests her legs. "We will find shelter,"Asher promised. "And that determines our move."Chloe's thoughts raced as they walked through the forest. Who are these people? And what did they want? The trees seem to be closing in, long, dark shadows. Koroi clings to Asher, his heart is touching. They have not yet lived Asher stood still, bowing his head.

The Chase Asher holds Koroi's hand tightly. "Them,"he whispered. Chloe's heart sank. "How did they find us?"Asher pulled him into a run, dodging trees and jumping off the ground. The engines get stronger and the hunters close. Usher took Chloe home. "Inside!"They ran out the door and locked it. Asher closed the door to the seat. Chloe sighed in heavy breathing. "So, what?"Asher's eyes looked at the house. "We need a plan."The house has little protection - broken walls, dusty furniture and a single dirty window. Outside, the engines idle and the hunters surround the building. A voice came from the megaphone.

"Chloe, come out! You can't hide forever.""What should I do?"Escher's jaw is compressed. The door creaked again, the wood groaning under the pressure. Asher's eyes met Chloe's. "Come back," whispered, placing himself between Chloe and the door. Koroi stepped back and fixed his gaze on Asher's figure. The door shook and the door scraped the floor. He will hold a fortress, but for how long? Asher's hand reached into his pocket, where his knife was waiting. A crash, followed by the sound of breaking glass. Chloe sighed. "We are surrounded by them."Usher shook his head sadly. "We need an exit strategy."He quickly looked around the house and found a small window in the back wall. "Chloe, will you be there?"Asher asked. Chloe nodded with wide eyes. Asher lifted Koroi onto the cart and helped him to the window. As he entered, Asher heard the breaking of the door holes were damaged. With his adrenaline pumping, Asher jumped onto the counter and closed the window behind Chloe. He fell to the ground with the knife ready. The door opens and the seat breaks. Asher is the face of those who follow them: his face shines in the darkness. How does the story go? The door creaked again and the wood groaned under the pressure. Asher's eyes met Chloe's. "Come back," whispered, placing himself between Chloe and the door.

Koroi stepped back and fixed his gaze on Asher's figure. The door shook and the door scraped the floor. He will hold on to the fortress, but for how long? Asher's hand reached into his pocket, where his knife was waiting. A crash, followed by the sound of breaking glass. Chloe sighed. They surround us. Usher shook his head sadly. We need an exit strategy.He quickly scanned the house and found a small window in the back wall. "Chloe, will you come in?"Asher asked. Chloe waved with wide eyes. holes were damaged.

With his adrenaline pumping, Asher jumped onto the counter and closed the window behind Chloe. Falling to the ground, the knife is ready

The door opens and the seat breaks. Asher is the face of those who follow them: his face shines in the darkness.

The door creaked open, the splintered chair crashing to the floor. Asher stood tall, his face illuminated by a faint sliver of moonlight.Chloe's eyes widened in horror "Asher, what are you doing?"she whispered.

Asher's expression remained impassive, his eyes gleaming in the darkness."I'm sorry, Chloe,"he said, his voice devoid of emotion.The men behind him moved forward, their faces obscured by shadows,Chloe's mind reeled. "You're with them?"Asher nodded. "I've been playing both sides, Chloe."Chloe felt a stinging betrayal. "Why?"Asher's gaze never wavered. "Self-preservation."

The men closed in, surrounding Chloe "Asher, please,"Chloe begged, But Asher turned away, disappearing into the darkness. The leader, Scarface, sneered. "Time to go, Chloe."Chloe struggled against her captors, but they were too strong.

Scarface's sneer lingered in her mind as they dragged her away.

"Asher, come back!"Chloe screamed, her voice echoing through the forest.

But only silence replied.

The men tossed Chloe into a waiting vehicle, speeding away from the cabin.Chloe pounded her fists against the door, screaming until her voice was hoarse. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved, tires screeching."What's going on?"Scarface yelled.The driver's panicked voice replied, "We've got company!"

Chloe's heart skipped a beat.Could it be Asher?

The vehicle careened off the road, crashing into a ditch.Chloe's world went dark, When she came to, Chloe found herself in a dimly lit room.Scarface loomed over her, a sinister grin spreading "Welcome to your new home,"he sneered, But Chloe's gaze locked onto something behind Scarface.

A figure stood in the shadows,watching waiting Chloe's heart sank.was this her rescuer or another betrayer?Suddenly, the figure stepped forward.

Chloe's eyes widened "Asher?"she whispered.But Asher's face was twisted, his eyes cold."I'm sorry, Chloe,"he said, his voice dripping with malice.

"You're going to make me rich." Chloe's world crumbled.
