The True Feeling of Being Saved

[Margaret's Perspective]

I was confused by everyone's gazes. I asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Who did you say colluded with the enemy?" Elliot asked.

"Angel," I repeated. "Elizabeth knows it too. I'm sure you remember, Anthony. Elizabeth said you were the one who opened the door when Angel arrived."

Elizabeth nodded at the side.

Anthony said in a solemn tone, "I was knocked unconscious at the time. Then, when I woke up, I lost my memory of this. I have no impression of seeing Angel yesterday."

"You don't know?!" Now I was the one who was surprised. "Then how did you find our trail? I mean, Elizabeth and I were both sprayed with the Mist. The forest is so big, you can't smell us. If you're not following Angel's lead, how did you target this area?"

"It's Elliot," Anthony said. "He says he smells unusual blood."

I remembered the blood I had left on Arthur.
