The chase didn't end as they got ran deeper into the forest. The sound of the horses and the yells of the people of L'Manberg was still on them when they took another turn.

"Here!" the mysterious young man said as he jumped over a log and up the edge of the mountain where Freya can see a cave opening.

He stopped and leaned over to offer his hand to her. She still has a bit of trouble seeing his face so she just stared at him. "Come on!" he whispered and yelled.

Freya turned when the sound of the people chasing them neared. She gulped and grabbed his hand and let him pull her up.

He pushed her forward, "Careful. Through there." He said in a hushed tone. They shuffled in the cave once they saw the light of the torches.

His breath hitched when their backs hit the wall of the cave, "Shit." He muttered once the light neared, they were gonna get caught.

He was losing hope and was about to give up and walk out but Freya grabbed his hand. "Wha-" "Shh." She said and pulled him back to the wall.

"We're gonna get caught." "Not if I got something to do about it." She said in a hushed tone. He tilted her head and watched as she opened her palm and the red strings appeared.

His eyes widened and were about to scream but she placed a hand on his lips. The red hues covered them, creating a wall between them and the people that entered the cave.

The people walked closer to the wall and were staring straight at him but looked as though they couldn't see them. He furrowed his eyebrows, "They're not here-" "Here! I see a trail!" a voice from outside yelled.

The people left and he was stunned and looked at her. "What?" he asked as she pulled her hand away. "What?" she asked.

He rolled his eyes, "I asked first." She rolled her eyes, "What? You saw me when you dropped out of the window next to mine." She said with narrowed eyes.

He gulped and moved back, hitting the wall of the cave. "Uh-" "Didn't you?" she asked and poked his chest. "Alright. Maybe I did-" "So you know who I am." She cut him off.

"Now answer me this, who the hell are you?" They stared at each other, something that he lost. "Sapnap."
