Lisa's face was clouded from the beginning. Even when the baby was born, her smile was stiff and seemed a little forced.
Nia noticed something strange about Lisa, so she couldn't help but wonder if Lisa was hiding something.
But in front of her mother and her newborn sister, Nia had no chance to ask questions.
But now that I think about it, so what if I ask?
Lisa won't answer.
At that time, Lisa had already planned to face the monsters alone - just to protect her.
Maybe they were infected by the cozy atmosphere here? They forgot that they were actually still in danger.
Lisa must have discovered something when she went outside to fetch water.
However, this girl was thoughtful after all, and she did not intend to let this incident put another burden on the hearts of Nia and her daughter.
She has always kept this matter in her heart.
It wasn't until the baby was born and everyone began to relax that Lisa quietly moved her gaze somewhere outside the window.
"Nia, I want to go out for a while."
"Um?!"
Nia didn't understand what Lisa said. She asked, "Why? Isn't it safe outside?"
"Nia..."
A trace of pain seemed to flash across Lisa's face, as well as a hint of cowardice hidden deep in her eyes.
However, the emotion Nia read on this familiar friend's face soon disappeared, as if it was just her illusion.
Lisa smiled at Nia and saw no problem at all.
This little girl with freckles on her face, but still pretty, said to Nia: "Wait a minute, no matter what you hear, don't say anything, take Aunt Yuffie and the others and run away."
"How…?!"
Nia still couldn't understand what Lisa meant, but she could see a sense of determination in the girl's expression.
"Goodbye, Nia."
Lisa ran out, but Nia couldn't hold her back.
Because at this moment she saw Lisa holding a special object in her hand, the hunting knife left by Federer.
Nia was shocked by the murder weapon, and she suddenly understood what Lisa was planning to do.
"Kulun Tu! (She wants to run!)"
The sounds of the monsters came from outside the house, and the sounds were actually quite close to the woodshed where they were hiding.
Yes, Lisa knows.
In fact, this room is no longer safe, they are already caged birds.
These terrifying wolf-faced monsters have long been hiding in the surrounding buildings, waiting to swarm up and catch them.
Lisa had discovered these wolf-headed men before. She knew that if nothing was done, none of them would be spared.
This was Lisa's choice. She decided to trade herself for Nia and her daughter's chance to escape.
"Thank you Nia...I have always been very grateful. This time I plan to do something to repay you...I don't regret anything, but I am very sorry...We may not be able to meet again..."
These were words that Lisa was unable to convey to Nia in person. In the rush of time, Lisa had no choice but to put this feeling in her tears.
Lisa is not a bold girl. In fact, Lisa is very afraid of going to the dark place where her father went.
But, more than what she was afraid of, Lisa hoped that her best friend, Yushiniya, could once again show her smile brighter than the sun in the sun.
I have no other friends and not many things worth remembering.
Nia, this girl from outside brought her many feelings that she had never experienced before.
So really, I'm very grateful to her.
Nia, I owe you a lot, and I want to try to pay you back this time.
"Come on! Nia!"
Lisa's voice came from far away, and she shouted very hard. Even if they were far away from the woodshed where they were hiding, Nia and the others inside could hear it clearly.
Lisa had already led the group of monsters away, and soon the howling of the wolf-headed man was mixed with the girl's scream.
Lisa was obviously shouting so hard, but Nia felt like she couldn't move.
"Nia, take your sister and leave quickly."
The mother on the bed urged.
This well-informed woman had already guessed the current situation and knew exactly what the girl who ran outside had done.
So, she quickly understood what to do now.
"I……"
Nia choked, unable to move her legs.
The chaotic sounds outside were swirling in her mind. She had no idea what she should do, and her mother's voice could not reach her ears.
The only thing that stayed in her heart now was the scream that had no follow-up. This scream, filled with pain and fear, took away Nia's mind.
She felt like she had lost something, and she couldn't believe that she had lost it.
"Get out of the way! Nia!"
At some point, a huge black object hit her head, but Nia was completely unaware of it.
"Mother!!"
When Nia came back to her senses, what appeared in front of her was her mother who looked in pain, and a beam that was pressing on her mother.
She herself was sitting on the ground, her hands holding the ground scratched with wounds from the sand and stones on the ground.
Nia remembered that it was her mother who just pushed her away.
How did the mother, who was lying on the bed, probably still extremely weak from the birth, find the strength to push her several meters away?
"Let's go quickly... Nia, take your sister and leave quickly... ugh!"
The mother's voice was intermittent, and she moaned from time to time.
The strong woman frowned. She had accepted her fate very early, but in the end she still hoped that her daughters would have a chance to live.
When the wolf-headed man outside realized that there was actually someone in the room, he took out rocks and torches and smashed them against the roof.
The woodshed, which was already fragile due to disrepair, soon began to collapse. After the flames touched the dry wood, they began to crawl around the house like venomous snakes.
"Mom, if you want to leave, let's go together!"
Nia crawled to her mother's side and tried to move the heavy wooden beam away from her mother. But no matter how hard she tried, the wooden beam would not move at all.
"Let's go! Silly girl!"
The wooden beam was soon entangled by the fire snake. Nia's face was blackened by the surrounding fireworks, and her hands were scalded with blisters.
It's too late!
If they don't leave, both mother and daughter will be burned to death.
Snap!
"Why are you so disobedient, kid?!"
Nia's mother cried, she choked, and slapped the stubborn girl with tears in her eyes.
"Mother…"
Mom always tolerates my willfulness, but today? It seems that she can’t do it anymore.
"I'm sorry, Mom! I understand!"
The burning pain on her face made her wake up a little. Nia gave up carrying the wooden beam in her hand and ran to pick up the crying baby girl on the bed into her arms.
"Go! Don't look back!"
There was an unquestionable momentum in her mother's voice. Nia didn't hesitate anymore. She avoided the fire and rushed towards the door.
But when she opened the door, Nia couldn't help but look back at her mother behind her.
At that moment, she remembered her mother's tearful but satisfied smile.
As soon as she went out, a wolf-faced monster stretched out its claws towards her, but how could Niya be caught like this?
"Drink!!"
Nia screamed, as if she wanted to shout out all the pain in her heart.
Lisa disrupted their formation before, and the originally tight formation of these monsters has become full of loopholes.
She lowered her head and passed by the wolf-headed man like a gust of wind. When the wolf-headed men around her saw another human rushing out of the house, they immediately gathered around.
But this girl was so nimble, she shuttled back and forth between the claws of these monsters. Even if the monsters howled in anger, they couldn't touch her.
As she was running, Nia's eyes were attracted by a huge wolf-faced monster on the right.
But what caught her attention was not the unusual and terrifying aura emanating from the wolf-headed man, but the... blood dripping on its claws.
"Lisa...it's just that..."
Nia looked at the wolf-headed man with a very cold gaze, something she had never seen before.
Later she learned that the thing that appeared in her eyes at this time was actually called "murderous intention".
