\u201cNo,\u201d Robert said sharply. \u201cThe cabin is their ground. They\u2019ll be waiting if suspicion rises. We head down the mountain, toward the highway. Someone will stop for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every step was agony, but we limped forward. My mind spun with images of Daniel\u2019s cold eyes, Emily\u2019s sharp command. I wanted to scream, to collapse, but I knew Robert was right: if they realized we were alive, they\u2019d finish the job.<\/p>\n
As dusk fell, headlights appeared in the distance. I waved frantically, and a pickup truck slowed to a stop. The driver, a middle-aged man in a flannel shirt, jumped out, shock etched on his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus Christ, what happened to you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fell,\u201d Robert said hoarsely. \u201cPlease, take us to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the sterile glow of the emergency room hours later, as nurses stitched wounds and doctors muttered over X-rays, I made a silent vow.<\/p>\n
Daniel and Emily thought they had ended us. But they had underestimated the strength of two broken bodies fueled by betrayal and love.<\/p>\n
As Robert drifted into a medicated sleep, I sat awake, staring at the ceiling.<\/p>\n
They wanted us gone. They wanted revenge. But the truth was out now, and one day soon, they would have to face the cost of their choices.<\/p>\n
