CHAPTER IX Reunite

Her breathing was getting heavier, and the open sores on Anna's legs were painful. In front of him still stood dozens of towering pine trees no matter how far Anna ran.

There were also wild leaves and grass growing in the forest, making it difficult for Anna to see where she stood. The wild grass grew to Anna's hip height.

As if swallowing half of Anna's body, the grass made it very difficult for Anna to find her right footing.

Anna stumbled and fell many times, but a small candle in her heart continued to spur her legs, which were no longer able to run.

The forest was so quiet, there wasn't a single animal no matter how far Anna ran. Likewise with the hunter who did not make a single sound.

For a moment, Anna thought that maybe she had managed to escape from the hunter. However, thinking about various uncertain possibilities, Anna continued to spur her feet. However, her two legs soon reached their limit.

Brrukkk !! Gruuzakkk !!

"Aakhhh !! ... aaahhk ... !! "

Anna stumbled, her legs swelled slightly, her lungs tightened. Don't feel the tears running down her eyes. So warm that it evaporated in the cold air of the night.

With the remaining strength then Anna tried to stand up again. However, the intense pain attacking her leg was excruciating. It was so overwhelming that it was difficult to calm her mind from the pain.

Suddenly a strong wind gushed from behind her. The sound of rustling was also getting louder, there was no mistaking it was the hunter.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer to Anna at high speed. This made Anna even more panicked and scared at the same time.

Simultaneously with the roar of the wind, terror once again attacked and penetrated into the bones of Anna, who in her panic tried to get up and run again but was unable to move her legs.

" DIRTY GIRL !!! WHERE ARE YOU ?? !!! "

The hunter's voice echoed through the entire pine forest. And just as the red shadow began to clearly appear at high speed towards Anna. Suddenly Anna's strength returned to be able to move her legs and run, even though she couldn't avoid the intense pain.

But that was not enough, the speed of Anna's two short legs could never match Vannesia's speed.

Instantly, while opening her jaw Vannesia lunged at Anna who was running frantically to avoid her.

Chomp !! ... Blush !!

The incident happened almost simultaneously, the moment where Vannesia's sharp teeth almost hit Anna's small figure and the moment where Anna suddenly fell into the thick of grass and leaves, which grew thick as high as an adult's waist.

"DON'T THINK YOU CAN FLEE, DIRTY GIRL!! I WILL FIND YOU IMMEDIATELY AND CUT OUT YOUR BODY !! LET'S SEE, DIRTY GIRL! YOU WILL NOT FLEE FROM MEEEEEEEE !!!!! " "

The sound of the hunters was angry, and the sounds blaring from over Anna. Anna opened her eyes and saw a small hole just enough for her, illuminated by the moon even though it was covered in leaves and vegetation.

While trying to stand up, Anna tried to look around her.

It was a long passage. The hallway looks old but is still intact.

Beside the hallway a torch was shining, a few paces away they became a light along the passage.

Pausing for a moment, Anna then looked behind her. Unlike the passageway in front of her, the passage behind was only lit by a few torches and was cut off in endless darkness.

Anna also took one of the torches and decided to slowly walk forward, leaving the hunter who couldn't stop screaming while looking for her.

Slowly Anna keeps walk while air breathed to withstand the weight and pain in both legs.

Anna walked far enough, and the blood that kept dripping from her legs had stopped. However, at the end of the long passage, she could not find a way out. Anna continued to walk step by step while leaning on the wall beside her and the torch in her left hand.

Slowly, dizziness began to be felt in her head along with the drowsiness that was getting worse. But Anna's legs did not stop, with the various pain and burdens she felt, Anna continued to struggle with her feet. However, her body couldn't keep up anymore.

Bruk !!

Anna's body fell to the hard and cold floor along with the torch in her hand. Her body was fragile and her consciousness began to fade. And just before her consciousness completely disappeared, it was faintly heard someone's voice calling out to her.

"PRINCESS!! PRINCESS!!! Oh no, this is bad !! "

"Herman, are you delirious? Be aware buddy, we still have to find the Princess before you can be free to delirious as you like! "

"No, I'm not delirious, Akno. It really is Princess, there's no mistaking it who is falling unconscious in front of me is Princess Anna !! Quickly let go of yourself and myself !! "

"Hah!! Is it true? ! "

At the same time, Akno stood up and immediately crushed the iron bridles in his hands with ease.

BRRUUUARRHH !!

As if passing through a cloth curtain, Akno penetrated the wall separating his cell and Herman's, while leaving a large enough hole.

"Heck !! Why am I not surprised ... "

Herman muttered in a sarcastic tone.

" Where's the Princess?"

" Ugh!!!"

Hearing the commotion, Anna regained consciousness.

"Princess!!"

As soon as he realized Anna's voice, Akno ran frantically leaving Herman.

"Herman, we have to find a doctor immediately!"

"Aaa, found it!"

" Where is it? How could there be a ... oh right, you are a doctor! I forget .... "

Herman's cynical eyes looked at Akno sharply while letting out a cold chill.

"Ah sorry ~, I forgot to let you go"

...

§

" How is it, Herman?"

"Thank God, even though there were many open wounds on the Princess's leg and she lost a lot of blood, somehow there were no signs of infection. By covering the wound the Princess will be fine "

"Thank God ... "

After covering Anna's wounds and replacing the lost blood with his blood, Herman immediately carried Anna in his hands.

Thus their goal of infiltrating to save Anna has been fulfilled, but it's not over yet.

A straight path ahead of them with the monsters waiting at the end of the path. The two of them stood and looked at each other, and both of them nodded.

They also ran forward leaving the two prison cells empty with clattering feet through the underground maze.
