All Chapters of Married To A Hunter: Fascinating & Terrifying: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

“Riley, where did you grow up?” Rachat asked when he was back across from me. After a short hesitation, because I quarreled with myself whether I wanted to reveal more about myself to him, I replied: "In a settlement.""With your f

"Since you did not answer, I assume that you also have some ugly chapters to show in your past," Rachat continued. “And I've done things too that I'm not proud of, but I can't help it. I accept it.""Are you saying I should just accept that the boy was killed?" I asked in disbelief, shaking my head.

To my amazement, I slept through the next morning. Logan woke me up and held out a plate of freshly baked bread after I let him in. I wolfed it down like I hadn't eaten in weeks, and I didn't care that he was watching me."Impressive," he said a short time later, grinning.

After a while we reached another small village, which was behind tall grass and bushes. Little did I know that there seemed to be several such communities out here. In the years that I was wandering around alone, I had met very few people, and most of them had been poor contemporaries."We should stay here the night," Logan said next to me.

A short time later Logan returned with two blankets. When he put it down in front of me, an unpleasant musty smell rose up to me and I grimaced."I know the temptation to lie underneath isn't particularly great, but we won't find anything better here," he said with an apologetic smile.

While we were driving, I kept twilight away, even if I tried with all my might to stay awake and to memorize the surroundings as best as possible. But the tiredness was just too persistent; I was far too exhausted from the morning march and most of the afternoon. One look in Logan's direction confirmed that he had succumbed to his exhaustion. He slept and snored softly to himself.The two ex-hunters in the front didn't speak a word to each other, but I noticed that they kept exc

"Welcome," he said in a voice that gave me goose bumps. My heart was racing and I instinctively crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm Lex," he added, pushing the chair back a little. "Hello Logan, your uncle has already told me a lot about you," he said to Logan, and smiled.The latter returned his smile. "I hope it was only good."

"If you anticipated the attack, you must also know who was responsible," I said, pressing my lips together. I was afraid of his answer while hoping he wouldn't repeat what Logan's uncle had revealed to me."Yes, I know that," Lex confirmed the next moment. “And my friend Rachat already told you, Riley. They were hunters. They carried out the orders of the Empire government. At that time, many settlements were wiped out by the hunters. There were few survivors.&nb

I came to, blinking. Muffled voices reached my ears. I turned my head to the side and saw two blurry figures. Groaning, I closed my eyes very tightly again and opened them again until my vision finally became clearer. And then my eyes caught the spirit again. So I hadn't just dreamed it, he actually appeared.With a startled sound I straightened up and backed away. Lex and the man who couldn't possibly be the one my eyes were trying to fool me looked at me.

The next morning my father brought me something to eat, but I only got a few bites and then crawled back into bed.I spent the next few hours coping with the overwhelming emotions that held me tight. Part of me absolutely refused to accept that One had committed the atrocities he was accused of. And this part was feverishly looking for an explanation that would exonerate him. Maybe he had been forced? Maybe he had no other choice? But the rational part of me made it clear t
