The Woodsman and The Duckling
The man could hear the footsteps coming closer to his location. Was he followed? Before he escaped from the East, he made sure that all traces of him were burnt into cinders. Though not that it mattered anymore. If they came to kill him, so be it. He wouldn't offer any resistance if they decided to attack him.
Yet, there was no sound nor intention that the man could detect from the newcomer.
Curiosity overcame him despite his situation. While tired, he decided that if he was going to die in this alleyway, he would like someone other than the dead body right next to him. Tilting his head up, he tried to identify the figure. A wave of dizziness and nausea hit him as he did; the blood loss was getting to him. Despite this, he still caught sight of the person in front of him.
Despite the darkness and rain, the man could almost see the figure in front of him. It was as if he was seeing clear as day. The person in front of him was a woman. Shorter than him but has fair skin. Black hair like his own and quiet demeanor. Each body trait lit up a memory inside his head and slowly widened with the passing second. Was it truly who he thought she was?
"Wait! Please! Don't leave me behind!" The man abruptly got up from the wall that was damp with his blood. Pain jolted through his body, but his mind didn't care. This was more important than his well-being. Staggering onto his feet, the man dragged himself towards the woman. "Don't leave me behind! Please! Not again!" He cried out. For the first time, he held onto hope that this time something would go his way. A dream that had finally thawed and become true.
Before she could disappear, before she leave his life again, the man grabbed the woman's sleeve.
