Haunting Memory

Elaine

***

Elaine's fear of death had been tested countless times. She had encountered notorious assassins, undead demons-like zombies, demon-possessed humans, and now wolves. These encounters made her life exciting and more meaningful, aside from the fearful notion of death, life before Dreygo was dull and boring as she recalled.

They walked along the mountainous steep of Sheng. Dreygo was walking two steps ahead of her and Officer Sho took the lead on their trek. Sho had a map and he knew the place better than them. The air was uncomfortably cold which added to her fear of being attacked by wolves again. It perturbed her the moment wolves attacked them, she never had experienced such magnitude of fear ever since. The first audible howl had given the instant gooseflesh that awoke her.
