Chapter 352 - 354
Despite her trepidation, Eva knew she had to act swiftly. She couldn't risk anyone uncovering the true nature of the can or its potential connection to her past. With a sense of urgency, she waited for an opportunity to retrieve the can unnoticed.
That evening, while the others were preoccupied with their tasks around the shelter, Eva seized her chance. She waited until Scarlett was momentarily distracted before slipping away, her heart pounding with apprehension. With calculated stealth, she made her way to where Scarlett had hidden the can.
The can lay innocuously among Scarlett's belongings, its enigmatic markings shimmering in the soft glow of the firelight. Eva's hand trembled as she reached out to grasp it, a shiver running down her spine. The can felt strangely warm to the touch, as if it held a dormant power waiting to be unleashed.
Suppressing her fear, Eva quickly concealed the can within the folds of her clothing. She stole away from the shelter, her movements purposeful yet tinged with a sense of unease. The weight of her actions bore down on her as she ventured toward the shoreline, the rhythmic crash of the waves echoing in the distance.
As she reached the water's edge, Eva paused, her gaze fixed upon the ancient can clutched tightly in her hand. She knew what she had to do, rid herself of this ominous artifact before it could cause any harm. With a deep breath, she waded into the shallows, the cold seawater lapping at her ankles.
With a mix of reluctance and determination, Eva raised the can above her head and hurled it into the churning sea. The can sailed through the air before disappearing beneath the waves, swallowed by the ocean's depths. For a fleeting moment, Eva felt a sense of relief wash over her.
But as she watched the ripples dissipate into the darkness, a lingering sense of foreboding remained. Eva couldn't shake the feeling that she had merely postponed the inevitable, that the can's mysterious power might someday resurface, bringing with it unforeseen consequences.
With her task completed, Eva retraced her steps back to the shelter, her mind racing with unanswered questions. What secrets lay hidden within the depths of that can? And what forces had she unwittingly unleashed by discarding it into the ocean?
As Eva returned to the shelter, she resolved to keep her actions a secret, her true motives concealed behind a facade of normalcy. But deep down, she knew that the can's presence would continue to haunt her, its enigmatic allure casting a shadow over their fragile existence on the island.
Eva became over excited and laughed outloud. That time Sophie asked,
"Hey what's going on? What's so funny? Is something happened?"
Eva as Lucy looked at her and said,
"Oh it's nothing. I was thinking about something from the old days"
Sophie felt something odd, Lucy laughed like that and then says it's nothing.
Eva, disguised as Lucy, sat near the shelter, her eyes fixed on Scarlett as she diligently tended to the day's chores. The can, with its ancient markings, remained hidden among Scarlett's belongings, an elusive artifact that continued to stir Eva's unease.
As Scarlett busied herself with the shelter's upkeep, Eva's frustration simmered beneath her composed facade. She longed for an opportunity to retrieve the can, to rid herself of the fear that gnawed at her every waking moment. Yet, with Scarlett constantly in motion, Eva's chance seemed elusive.
The sun beat down overhead, casting dappled shadows across the ground. Eva watched Scarlett's every move, her mind racing with strategies to approach and retrieve the can without raising suspicion. Her impatience grew with each passing minute, the weight of her secret burdening her thoughts.
Suddenly, Scarlett paused her work to gather firewood nearby. Eva's heart quickened with anticipation. This could be her moment, an opportunity to slip unnoticed into Scarlett's belongings and reclaim the can. With a surge of determination, Eva rose from her spot and stealthily approached Scarlett's belongings.
Time seemed to slow as Eva rifled through Scarlett's belongings, her eyes scanning for the telltale markings of the ancient can. Her breath caught in her throat as her fingers brushed against a familiar texture, a smooth surface etched with intricate designs.
Eva's heart raced as she withdrew the can from its hiding place, her hands trembling slightly. The can seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, its significance weighing heavily on her. Yet, she couldn't afford to hesitate now. With a quick glance around to ensure she remained undetected, Eva slipped the can into the folds of her clothing.
Just as she turned to make her escape, Eva's heart sank as Scarlett returned to her belongings. Panic threatened to consume her, but she maintained her composure, offering a casual smile to mask her inner turmoil.
As Scarlett resumed her tasks, Eva's mind raced with thoughts of what to do next. She needed to find a way to dispose of the can permanently, somewhere far from the shelter and its inhabitants. But for now, she had to bide her time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to rid herself of this haunting artifact once and for all.

Throughout the day, Eva remained vigilant, her focus split between her duties and the can concealed within her possession. She couldn't afford to let her guard down, knowing that any slip-up could reveal her true intentions.
As evening approached and the others gathered around the campfire, Eva's facade of normalcy remained intact, even as the weight of the can pressed against her side. She listened to the idle chatter of her companions, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of the can's enigmatic power and the urgency of her task.
In the shadows cast by the flickering flames, Eva plotted her next move, her resolve hardened by the looming threat of the can's unsettling presence. She knew that she couldn't rest until she had rid herself, and the shelter, of this dark reminder of a past she desperately wished to forget.
