Chapter 149 Crossroads

• The woodland was a tangle of shadows, the thick trees crowding in all about. Against the quiet of the night, I could hear our ragged, eager breathing echoing. Though doubt lingered at the margins of my consciousness, the adrenaline coursed through my veins drove me forth. Could we flee Adam's men? Would we ever be able to once more breathe freely?
• We had stumbled into a clearing, moonlight shining on our frenzied faces like a spotlight. As I looked about at the group, my heart hammered in my chest. They resembled my level of fear. Emma was attempting to regain her breath while Nyla was looking over her things; her eyes were wide with panic.
