[Vensen Perspective]
I stared at Jevan's back as he walked away. I wanted to stop him but couldn't. Just knowing he's alive is enough. If he's still alive, then maybe the others are alive too?
I wanted to ask him about them, but it's obvious he's still angry with me and I don't blame him. He's got every right. I'm nothing but a coward who left his friends behind and ran to save his own skin. How can I even look him in the eye after that? But I'm tired of running, tired of hiding.
When I moved to follow him, Neila grabbed my arm.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"After him."
"After that lunatic?!"
I yanked her hand off me.
"Don't talk about him like that."
"Now you're defending him?"
"He didn't do anything wrong."
She pointed at the decapitated bodies on the ground.
"Nothing wrong?! And what's this then?"
"They attacked him first."
"You saw the way he killed them. He's a monster, not a man. If you go after him you'll end up like them."
"He won't."
