As soon as Hell Ember left, someone ran out from behind the wall.

"Lydia!" I cried out with relief.

She quickly untied me from the chair.

"You alright, Lisa?"

"Y-yeah."

We only trusted our true names with each other. After all, we knew each other in the past.

I wonder why Kreacher knows. He usually calls me Emma, but sometimes he calls me by my real name.

Well, no point on dwelling on it now.

"Need some help?" Lydia offered.

I nodded.

Kneeling down, I let Lydia bandage up the wounds from the thorny ropes for me.

"Done," she told me.

I stood up and winced a bit. No matter how many times it was, I still wasn't used to being tied up with those ropes with thorns.

I looked at the Rocket Chair. Quickly, I made up my mind and began dismantling it.

After it fell apart, we ran off together.

We found a cipher machine and began deciphering the code.

Far away, I heard the sounds of not one, but two Rocket Chairs being launched. A few minutes later, a third Rocket Chair launched.

Uh oh.

We finished decoding the code not long after, then we went our own ways.

I found and opened a few chests. Some were decorated to look like Christmas presents.

Was it even Christmas? It's hard to keep track of how many days I've been here.

I took a syringe with me, just in case I ran into another Hunter.

This was going to be a long night.
