"I'm sorry, Hunter. I truly am."
Lifting her eyes to the sky she noticed the new shining star there, not far from Nil's.

Night passed, and a day, then another day and another night. The poor girl lost track of time, losing consciousness here and there. Hunger burning her stomach and thirst drying thickly her throat. The feeling of numbness, and  loneliness crept in her heart once more.

Three days and two nights passed like that until during the third night, someone came to her, his face hidden under a large dark hood from his big thick cloak.

Her whole body felt numb, whenever she tried to move, something seemed to tear apart, her lips were dried and torn. And the hunger and the thirst had her plunged into a state of semi consciousness. Her mind was going blank when she became suddenly aware of a presence before her. Numbness. Nothing. If he was back she didn't even let him know she could sense it. She was too tired. No energy.

But then she felt something fresh on her lips...  and slowly sliding down her throat...water! A wave of energy rushed through her veins and she began gulping it, taking in as much as she could, until it was taken away from her.  She groaned but a low voice whispered "You need to go easy on it, Liv. You're highly dehydrated your body needs to get used to it again. She nodded and motioned for him to give some more. He did, slowly. Then he began to feed her. Tiny bit by tiny bit.

The young girl lost track of time, sometimes losing consciousness and then regaining it. He would patiently feed her that way. The stranger went away for a time, she couldn't make up how long, but he came back and did it all over again. All this until colours slowly came back to her face and she regained strength. He tried then to treat her wounded wrists but when he so much as touched them she bit her lip with a muffled cry. They were bloodied and purple. He let it be, not wanting to add to her pain. When he was done she looked up to him, her eyebrows knitted together, trying to make up who he was.

"Thank you" she croaked and the figure nodded, its face still shaded by the hood. When he started walking away she let out

"Tell me your name"
He walked back to her and replied carefully "I think it'd be safer for both of us if I don't.
But, please stay strong. Don't let him defeat you. You're stronger than he thinks...
He's not worth your breaking. Please stay alive."He added before discretely and quietly walking away.

Soon, but it felt like forever, the first rays of dawn stroke the earth. Being herself, Olivia got bored of being restrained like a dog and went back to fighting the restrains slicing her wrists to the bone. The pain was such she felt like her nerves were dead. But she continued and called out annoyed

"Let me go Pan!"
When nothing happent she struggled even more.

"You know this is useless right? Fighting these is only making it worse."

He was there. Standing mockingly before her. She didn't even bother to look at him, eventhough she knew this was something he highly disliked, continuing to struggle.

He rolled his eyes "I forgot how stubborn you were." His eyes landed on Hunter's corpse on the floor and with a wave of the hand it faded in green smoke. Olivia saw that, and she swallowed. Anger ached in he heart. She felt something new, more than just pain for the dead boy. Something like disgust towards the other one, the living one just standing in front of her and watching her every move, something like defeat and she quickly pushed it away.

Pan flicked his wrist and the branches crawled away . With a hiss, Olivia kept her hands against her chest, suddenly aware of the pain.

"Now. You and I need to have that little chat you seemed so eager to start the other day."
