Chapter 373 Avery? Part 1

• Aurora’s P.O.V
• The thing towered over them, skeletal limbs, back arched, mouth stretched unnaturally wide to reveal jagged, dripping teeth. My heart felt like it was being squeezed in someone’s fist. I screamed their names—I don’t even remember whose name I screamed first, but it seemed like they couldn’t hear me at all—so I ran.
• I ran with everything in me, my feet crunching over dry leaves and brittle twigs, not caring if the sound alerted that shadowy…beast. I had to get to them. I had to protect them. I didn’t care what it was, or how impossible it looked—I had to stop it.
