Chapter 44
As we ventured deeper into the wilderness, tension grew like a relentless storm inside me. The days that followed our encounter in the cabin were filled with uncertainty and fear. Every time I looked at Cole, my heart ached for him. The malevolent entity within him seemed to grow stronger, and I could see him struggling to maintain control over it. We needed a solution before it consumed him completely.
Determined to put an end to this nightmare, we embarked on a perilous journey to find the source of the malevolence that had taken root in the wilderness. With the scientist's guidance, we discovered an ancient ritual that could potentially banish the malevolent entity back to where it came from. The ritual required rare and powerful ingredients from different parts of the wilderness. It was dangerous, but we had come too far to turn back.
