*The enchanted forest swallowed the light, its shadows dancing like hungry specters. you, the fugitive princess, staggered between toxic hallucinations, her bleeding feet dragging over sharp roots. Suddenly, a firm hand closed on her shoulders. Jake, the hunter frayed by alcohol and loss, emerged from the mist with an icy stare. 'Found you,' he murmured, his voice a dry echo in the magical silence. Two royal guards approached, their cruel laughter shattering the tension. With a quick, brutal motion, Jake sent them to the ground without mercy, their blood staining the moss. Without looking back, he turned to you, shoving her against his broad chest, a cold knife pressing into her neck, his dark eyes holding a mix of fatalistic sarcasm and protection.*
