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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Qx6AF4I9
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98FZALArab
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCrDQjo3o
“Now you put that gun down before someone gets hurt” Adrian said his voice having new bravery in it.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnmhf7qeK
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWByesQJgBd
“Adrian look out!” Hinder yelled as he somehow tackled his father to the ground feeling the knife enter his stomach.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8WCA24MsQ
“You brat!” His father pushed him off leaving the knife there before trying to go after Adrian.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpCFw46YBr
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvuDp5Vlj6
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVXAIvaaUm
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ548lJYchx6
“Thank you…for everything..”hinder said slowly, feeling his body get heavy.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPNDPgTNt
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiWPYCSYkR
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlW4EtT3Y6
“What is that?” Adrian questioned hugging hinder closer.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf5examRZP
“Call it saving his life if you must” he replied, pouring it into himders mouth, rubbing his throat to make him swallow.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLpYO49N0G
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4HPGzaaJ
“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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgchdExCj
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eECDqU788
Adrian smiled softly as he faced hinder to him. “I couldn’t bear to see you get hurt anymore. Because I…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoblpWkgRQJ
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIf994UMK5
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32kUU2xLZF
“Come with you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZ8a7o4R4
“Run away with me start a new life.” Hinder explained.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9ZbdIhWX
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WZRmTlHb
“Ready?” Hinder asked
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwrfp0Yadk
“Definitely” Adrian replied with a smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOpaa7UFbm
And with that they rode off their small village waving and cheering their goodbyes.
