Leon and Jada lugged Sam and Renee over their shoulders. Jada was silently cursing herself for knocking them out. Leon was starting to regret almost hitting his little sister. The couple was worn out after hours of endlessly walking. Just as the two collapsed, nearly dropping the teens, they encountered ten rabid rabbits. Leon noticed his wife in the background, struggling to wake up Sam and Renee. Leon leaped into action, he drew his sword. He thought, “I won’t let you hurt them.” He lunged at what he perceived to be the strongest rabbit. The creature struck him and sent him, flying back. He held his ground and dodged the next attack. He saw an opening and struck the beast. It yelped in pain as it tended to its paw. The beast was now enraged and sent the minions to attack. Jada used her special multi-lightning attack and killed all the minions. With no more cards, up its sleeve, the beast let out a large roar. The roar lowered the couple’s attack by 50% and caused the couple to be paralyzed in fear. The beast snarled wildly as it charged toward them. It almost reached them, until suddenly out of nowhere, an arrow struck the beast and it instantly went down. Both Leon and Jada turned around and saw Renee clutching her bow tightly in her hand. Sam was holding her arrows. Both teens were still half asleep. The two teens passed out again as Jada and Leon caught them.

Jada: *concerned* We should probably get them to an Inn.

Leon: *agreed* You’re right about that, dear.

Jada: *pinched Leon’s cheek* When have I ever been wrong?

Leon: Never…Now, let go of my cheek, babe. *laughing nervously*

Jada: Leon, darling…May I check the map?

Leon: Sure, dear. *pulled the map out of his bag*

Jada looked over the map carefully. She smiled with delight and pulled her husband into a hug.

Jada: We’re almost there. *grabbed his hand and balanced Sam over her shoulder* Let’s go.

Ten minutes later, the couple managed to make it to the entrance of the town. Jada gulped and her eyes lit up. She thought, “It’s a lot bigger than I remember.” She took a deep breath as she and Leon walked through the entrance.
