Extremely scared, my trembling body slowly turned around.

"Senara?" a familiar voice called me.

It was Kaiden.

"H-haaaahh…" I breathed heavily in relief. Tears started falling from my eyes.

"What are you doing—"

Next thing I knew, I was running towards him. And I didn't know what got into me—probably because of my fear, but I… I shamelessly embraced him, burying my face on his chest.

"Wahu-hu-hu-hu…sniff… sniff…" I cried like a little kid. I guess I really was too scared.

"What happened?" Kaiden asked, perplexed.

I tried to explain but my words just jumbled up.
