Raven, Claire, and Rose had just returned from hunting when they were surprised to see Melissa was still there.
"Why are you still here?" Raven asked, sounding annoyed.
Melissa: "…"
She took a deep breath before speaking.
"I know this might be asking too much, but… can I stay here a little longer?"
"What do you mean? Stay longer?"
Raven looked displeased.
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow that. I don't know you, and neither do my friends. We can't guarantee that you won't hurt us while we're resting. The risk is too great."
Melissa gritted her teeth.
"I know you don't trust me, but just this once, I'm begging you!"
She lowered her head toward him.
Claire felt uncomfortable seeing her like that.
"Raven, how about we help her?" she suggested.
Raven glanced at Claire and saw the sadness on her face.
"Huh…"
He let out a long sigh before reluctantly nodding.
"All right. But I'll give you two days. During that time, we'll take care of you, but you have to leave afterward."
