Chapter 1 (1/1)
”Where are we going?” Asked the little girl.
”I don't know. In short, I want to live.”
The thick snow trapped the little boy's legs. He moved hard. Every step forward, there was a sound of metal collision. His hands and feet were impressively locked together by iron chains. The snowflakes rolled on his face like a knife. He didn't dodge or have nowhere to dodge. He just held his body up, didn't even blink, dragged the chain, carried the little girl on his back, and resolutely walked forward.
”I'm a little cold.” Said the little girl.
”I'm cold, too. I'm cold together.” Said the little boy.
”All right!” The little girl agreed.
Behind them, deep footprints fell on the boundless white, with a faint red.
At the end of the footprints, it's not snow, it's blood.
The blood was red here, and everyone who fell had a surprised and frightened face, as if he had seen something incredible and terrible.
Heavy snow fell, quietly covering all this.
