Love Began with the First Meeting

'You have to give up the dream that is too good to be true. In the same way that you leave a person way out of your league regardless of how much you love him or her.'

He once promised that she was the only one he would love.

Suddenly Brian sensed something whizzing behind his back.

As he held Molly in his arms and stroked her face, he paid little attention to his surroundings for any possible threats. Fortunately, his training as a fighter allowed him to sense danger just as a shiny object was about to hit him. Brian yanked Molly out of the way by grabbing her on the waist. The shiny object missed its target and hit a tree instead. Brian quickly pulled out a weapon, a Browning M1910, and fired as they evaded the deadly explosive tossed at them.

He hit the man who just fired an Anesthetic bomb that narrowly missed him and Molly. The perpetrator dropped to the ground when the bullet pierced his forehead, right between his eyes.

"Bri!" Molly screamed. She didn't know what happened but was startled by the sound of a bullet hitting a human.

"I'm okay," Brian whispered in her ear, his breath warming her earlobe. He raised an eyebrow and pulled Molly by the hand so they could move forward. He set the night vision goggles on his head to help him move around better. Brian kept looking around for potential threats.

With the forest so quiet, it almost felt creepy. Brian chuckled because the type of danger he faced now was nothing compared to what he grew up with in Hell Forest.

Her heart was pounding so loud as Molly sensed the tension in the air. She bit her lips while looking around and grabbed Brian's hand. But it was too dark to see anything, and the darkness terrified her so much she started to tremble violently.
