Those words made hinders blood run cold as he started to shake. He knew what would happen if he turned to face his father.

“P-papa I was just going to sleep with the pigs for a few days” hinder lied as the hand on his shoulder tightened.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY1SEJeGyE
“Your not going anywhere” his father growled putting the barrel of his hunting rifle to his head. The metal was cold but he knew not to move.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluWChSGUAm
Hinder closed his eyes knowing his father would shoot him anyways. But the shot never came and the hand disappeared, making hinder drop to the ground before turning around. He was shocked to see Adrian there with his own hunting rifle.

“Now you put that gun down before someone gets hurt” Adrian said his voice having new bravery in it.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxEaWeBr1J
His father obeyed and dropped the gun. An evil glint in his eye sparked as he reached in his pocket while Adrian backed up not noticing. His father looked at Adrian ready to stab him.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVGITx6v56
“Adrian look out!” Hinder yelled as he somehow tackled his father to the ground feeling the knife enter his stomach.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYUmJqiIlY
“You brat!” His father pushed him off leaving the knife there before trying to go after Adrian.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiI9NX8xG6
“Sir you been a bad bad boy and someone needs to put you down” Adrian said as he started to hit his father with the butt of his gun.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvMxw5Kd2o
It didn’t take long to get himders father to the ground. His face now bloody and bruised as he backed into the corner. Begging for mercy. “Oh no no mercy went out the door the moment you hurt your boy the good lord will frown upon this day but that’s alright I know he will forgive me” and with that he shot his father in the face and dropped the gun.

“Adrian..” hinder called out his cream colored shirt now red from his blood.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf2ivFGrLX
“Shit…your gonna be okay just stay with me” he rushed to the door and yelled out it. He returns to hinder and held him in his arms.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuZ2KSdydp
“Thank you…for everything..”hinder said slowly, feeling his body get heavy.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVK56x4Mvn
Adrian gently put a finger to his lips as he held him while neighbors came over to see what the commotion was all about. They stopped short and gasped seeing the sight of his father and now him. They knew hinder wasn’t going to make it but they couldn’t bear to break that news to Adrian. “We need a doctor…please…” Adrian begged.

No one moved until a merchant spoke up hobbling into the rooM with them. He heaved his bag off his shoulders and dug around in it before pulling out a vial of red substance.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpHlzWyDEP
“What is that?” Adrian questioned hugging hinder closer.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1stG0SJ0k
“Call it saving his life if you must” he replied, pouring it into himders mouth, rubbing his throat to make him swallow.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iZhotdud
They all held his breath as the knife fell from his stomach, the wound somehow healing as he sat up. “What was that disgusting thing?” Hinder asked, coughing.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEqev79bcc
“As I said, save your life, no need to thank me or pay me just don’t question it.” The merchant replied and with that he was off into the night.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4ZScM4WD
Soon everyone left, leaving Hinder and Adrian alone as he laid against Adrian’s chest while Adrian laid against the wall. “You make me feel safe” hinder said softly.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FPxYtRNL
Adrian smiled softly as he faced hinder to him. “I couldn’t bear to see you get hurt anymore. Because I…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknumb0pohy
Hinder tilted his head slightly before gently placing his lips on his. kissing him with what little knowledge he had before pulling away. “I know. I like you to Adrian” hinder replied his face bright with redness as the sun rose up.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzI7aDHJk9
Adrian smiles as he pulls hinder in again by the shirt kissing him. This went on till the sun chased the darkness away starting a new day. “Come with me” hinder said.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSkfLx94A1
“Come with you?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9gI03tPgz
“Run away with me start a new life.” Hinder explained.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pG3cWva5k
Adrian couldn’t believe he was hearing this but he was more than happy to say yes as they packed their things. Hinder hopped on a new horse given to him by his neighbor while Adrian hopped on his own. Hinder didn’t know where they were going. But he knew that with Adrian by his side they can figure out everything. He looked back at him smiling seeing that his mother is packing his horse pack full of food for them. Hours before they left, Hinder somehow found a safe under his fathers bed. It wasn’t locked luckily and it was filled with money with a note addressed to hinder. it was from his mother. And the money was for when he left on his merchant adventurers. Tears formed as he thought that moment over. But soon wiped them away as Adrian trotted beside him.

“Ready?” Hinder asked
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30kgLqTycl
“Definitely” Adrian replied with a smile.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQbFMFZmr1
And with that they rode off their small village waving and cheering their goodbyes.
