She continued to push him ignoring his protests. "I understand, you're hurt and your acting like it is nothing. In this cold if wounds are not treated you will end up dying and that will attract predictors that feed on the dead. That in turn means we need to be more vigilant. So I do know what I am doing," she said. So when he finally gave up she stopped pushing him. She was glad because if she had to continue pushing him all the way to the village she would attract a lot more attention then she wanted. When they crossed the bridge nothing changed, so she had no idea why he was so nervous about it. "Well people here would call it being considerate. You don't let an injured stranger just go someone so they can die. You help them. And your free to go once your wounds are tended to and you have eaten. I can't force you to stay," she said. She would prefer if he stayed until he was all healed up, but there were no inns in her village. Someone would need to offer up a bed and for now this boy was a stranger to everyone. She did not even know what his name was. As they finally entered the village she noticed the stares of those outside. She ignored them for now, she would have to deal with the gossip once she dealt with the boy. She lead him to her home were both her parents were still in the kitchen. She turned to them and smiled. "Mother. Father. I found this traveler in the woods. He's injured and has no food. Can he stay here for a day. I will get the doctor, but can you make enough food for him to eat." She then turned to him and smiled. "We don't have a lot to offer, but your meal will be served soon. I'm going to get the doctor. You better be here when I get back." She then rushed out of the house.

She was surprised when he corrected her. At first she was not sure what he meant, but after thinking what she said it made sense. The most curious thing he said was that he was not from the north. That made so sense. He village was the furthest south in the country. Did that mean that there was another one that was far east or west. There was no way that the boy came from the south. With creatures like that she doubted that humans could live there. She stopped on the other side of the bridge when she heard him speak. "Now you listen here, you are going to come with me. Not only are you injured I don't see you have any food." she started. "I will not take no as an answer." She walked up to him and walked up behind him. She would push and pull him if she had to. She doubted that she would move him far, but she could not leave him. It would be against her nature. She also wanted to learn more about Daemons. Those creatures had almost killed her, but there had to be a way to avoid them or fight them and survive. She wanted to see what was further past the wall.

Risa saw him fall over and roll in the snow. She took that opportunity to start running to him ans catch up. She was glad that he had not gotten up and continued to run away. It really was dangerous on the other side of the wall. She slowed down as she got closer and she could not look him in the eye. She looked him over and found that she was right. He was injured. She no longer had a choice, she was going to make him get that wound treated. In this cold it was only going to get worse. "You shouldn't go that way. There are monsters that way, with your injury there is no way that you will be able to survive." She held out her hand. "Come with me. My offer still stands. You should then return north. There is nothing past my village apart from the wall." She kept looking at him with a smile on her face. It was not often her village received any visitors. So one showing up was a nice change of pace. She was sure that her father would share some of their food with the male.

Risa saw the boy taking a couple steps back as she approached. This confused her, she did not look threatening so he should not be walking away. When he fell down she sped up to catch him. She had noticed that he seemed to be injured. Now she had not choice but to go after him. She would not let an injured person go without at least getting someone to look at the wound. As she ran after him she noticed that he was going towards the wall. That was a bad thing. He was hurt and from what she could tell he would become a meal for those monsters. "Stop. It's dangerous over there. I don't want to hurt you." She continued to run, but she could tell that he was gaining distance from her. She had to stop him from going close to that wall. "I just want you to get that wound looked at. And If you want you can have breakfast with me," she yelled out as she stopped running. It had just snowed last night so it was hard for her to run in this fresh snow. All she could do was just hope that he took her offer. She stood there catching her breath.

Risa managed to make it home through the blizzard. She spent a good portion of the night in front of the fire warming herself up. She did not even notice when he fell asleep on the floor. The next thing she remembered was her mother and father shaking her awake. She looked at them not understanding shy they looked so worried. That was until she had noticed that her dress was a little torn up. They started to ask her what happened to her dress. She kept quite. She was slightly worried that if she told them that she went over the wall she would get in a lot of trouble. When they would not stop talking she grabbed a jacket and ran out of the house. She just could not think of a good lie to tell her parents. Anything that crossed her mind would been seen through right away. She made her way over to river. At this time of year it was likely that none of the villagers would be there. When she got there she saw the boy. She knew right away that he was not from her village. She knew everyone that lived there. He must be traveler. She wondered why someone would come here when it was much warmer in the north. She had no idea that he was the monster that she had met the night before. She walked up to him and smiled. "Hello"

Risa covered her face thinking that she was going to get attacked, but nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw that the two had started to fight again. She was starting to move when she found herself being shoved out of the way. She started to scramble to the wall not. The now was getting thicker and she had no idea if she would be able to find the hole quickly. She might have to feel around to find it. Her fears were realized when she reached the wall. She had no idea where the hole she used was. She could not see far enough to see it. She started quickly walk feeling everything that was in her reach. Every time she found a hole it was too small to fit. That was until she found a hole that was big enough for her to get through. Once she was on the other side of the wall she sated to make her way back to her village.

At first Risa sat there paralyzed for a couple seconds before she realized what was happening. It looked like they were fighting over her. She had no idea why, but she was not going to waste this opportunity. She got on all fours and started to crawl to the wall. She was worried that if she got up and ran that the two monsters fighting over her would realize that their prey was escaping. She kept her eyes on the wall doing her best to ignore the noises around her. She needed to get to the wall as fast as possible. When she thought she was close enough she turned around and saw the smaller one being pushed off the bigger one. She made eye contact with the creature, at least she thought she did and chills ran down her spine. She needed to get over the wall or she was going to die. She knew it. The problem was that fear had overcome her again and all she could do was pray. She should not have looked back.

Do not cross the wall to the south. It was the first thing her parents taught her and a rule that she followed until today. In a village as small as her's, there was not a lot to do, but it still kept on busy all day. She could only be thankful for it, because it meant on certain nights everyone to to exhausted to stay up. Tonight was such a night. She had waited until her parents had fallen asleep before dressing up and making her way to the wall. For to long she heard those noises and was unsure what they were. She wanted to know even if it was risky. Why were they not allowed to cross the wall. Or better yet why did those on the other side not cross over. It did not take long for her to get over the wall and to the other side. She listened to her footsteps crunch on the ground. That was until she felt something watching her. She looked around in the darkness hoping that it was just her imagination. Unfortunately she found something strange ahead. She did not know what it was but she already had a bad feeling about crossing over the wall. Within a couple seconds she saw the creature and when she heard the shrieks she fell down on the ground. For a couple seconds she could not move a muscle. When she gathered control of her limbs she turned around and was about to start crawling and then run to the wall, but she saw another one of those creatures. She was scared and there was nowhere she could run where she would not get caught.
