"What if the bad guys catch you too?" It was a little boy's voice, but she couldn't see his face clearly.
"I won't let that happen!" the little girl immediately retorted.
The boy simply gazed at her silently, his expression unreadable.
After a moment, the girl mumbled, "If I do get caught, at least we can keep each other company. I'm not scared!"
She held tightly onto the boy's hand, the silver bracelets on her delicate wrist glinting in the light.

The boy, used to a life of comfort, had decent athletic skills, but he had never faced anything like this before.
All the while, it was the girl leading the way, their hands clasped tightly together.
Suddenly, the boy slipped, tumbling down the slope.
The girl, caught off guard, followed after him, her body only stopping when it slammed against a small tree branch jutting out from the hillside.
