Finally, she let go of me with a grin. I stumbled away, using the time to catch my breath. The cold night's wind set in, causing my body to tremble.
"What Fengy?" She said.
"I already told you to stop Camella. You're not supposed to be here. And do not call me Fengy" I said.
"Didn't you need my help? I even have a little gift for you." She threw the handgun towards me. I stared at her as the gun fell beside me, soaking itself into a puddle of blood. "You seem a bit clumsier than today Fengy." She walked past me and picked up the gun. Turning me around, she held my hands open before placing it into my palms.
"Leave Camella." My grip tightened on the handgun.
Smiling, she asked. "This again?" She wrapped her hands around my grip, shoving the gun's barrel in her mouth. "You know how this goes love. Pull it."

My body tensed up as she began shifting around. After a moment, she adjusted the barrel and spoke. "Pull it. Shoot me."

I tightened my grip as I stared into her pale eyes.
My finger was ready to pull back, but a thought intruded my mind. "What if she dies? Then she would be gone forever. Then I would..." I let go of the gun. Watching it fall onto the ground.
"See? Its not my fault that I'm here." She said, picking up the gun and brushing it off before putting it into her inventory.
I didn't need to see her face to know she was grinning. Goosebumps formed on my skin.
"It's okay if you don't want to see me right now, I'll be back later. Don't forget to loot the monster's body Fengy, its < Fragments > are useful."
She pinched my shoulder before walking away.
I couldn't do anything except watch her shadow leave my vision. Only when her footsteps grew distant did I begin to move.
Immediately, I fell to the floor, grasping my chest. After a moment, I got the loot from the monster's corpse. Alongside its usual
