'Rustle'
Ella halted and looked back.
There was no one.
Ella frowned and increased her pace. Seeing a broad tree in front of her, she hid her body behind it. With her other hand, she dragged a branch down to cover the exposed part of her body.
'Woof'
A confused Riri stood in the middle of the empty path, his tail drooped while his confused eyes darted from left to right.
Ella was dumbfounded, "Riri?"
She immediately stepped out of her hiding and walked up to the puppy.
Before she could comfort him, the puppy suddenly bolted forward like an arrow.
"Riri!"
When she turned around, the puppy had made it to a huge distance.
Ella rushed after him but in no time, she was huffing and panting. She has already been running for an hour now so she barely had any strength left in her body.
"Riri, wait…!" Ella nearly tumbled over near a wall.
"Riri...!"
Riri escaped the estate gates and Ella chased after him.
The security was startled awake.
