Chapter 61. Fear of the Unknown

When Emilia regained consciousness, it was dark and she could smell the delicious aroma of beef stew. She was in so much pain that the only part of her body that she could move was her eyes.

A slow scan around her surroundings showed her that she was inside a log cabin. She was in a small room, lying on a bed alone. There was one chair in the room beside the bed and a bookshelf with a lantern on top of it.

She suddenly remembered that Matt had said he was taking her to a cabin before she jumped on him. Panic gripped her.

Had he somehow managed to survive that terrible crash and brought her here after all? How was she going to escape now?

She heard the footsteps coming towards the room and a male voice humming a tune. Who was that? Her saviour or her captor?

The fear of the unknown made her nervous but she couldn’t get up from the bed to hide. She seemed pinned to the spot.

A few seconds later, a strange man showed up at the doorway, holding a mug.
