Chapter 27

• For the decades Zipporah lived on earth she had never felt the terror of being a prey. She was nothing but a meal in their eyes but more than that, she was a drug to their prime hunger of excitement. She swapped her eyes from left to right, they were gaining each time she caught their speed.
• Their bodies blended with the trees like its shadow, emerging into the light with thirst in their eyes. Their speed pounded dust and dirt into the air, it caused the forest to become hazy and blind. She felt a strain in her neck and knees. Her stomach and aching head made a protest to the speed she was kept on. The trees were becoming a blur, it all flashed by her eyes and she wanted to do nothing but scream for everything to stop. She needed to breathe.
• She pulled her left hand from his fur and struggled to grip her chest when she felt her heartbeats collapsing into her chest. With every jolt Adam added to his speed, her head spun with the current and her skull drummed louder in her ears.
