Chapter 150

It was all one big blur that Anna could barely register. Lucas grabbed her arm and took off in a run towards the trees. She felt as if her feet barely touched the ground as they pounded through the snow. She knew that Lucas would start to drag her if she didn’t hurry and she didn’t feel like losing an arm to him.
An arrow zipped past her head and thudded into the snow in front of her. Lucas forced her to start to run diagonally instead of a straight line. Anna almost tripped over her own feet, but Lucas straightened her before she could fall. She didn’t know how close they were to being caught, she didn’t know if they were right behind her about to clasp their hands around her body—she only ran. Even when the back of her throat burned and her body tried to give up on her, she ran.
They disappeared into the trees and the silence engulfed them. Anna heard her breath almost burst her ears as they dodged the trees and turned a different way. There was no time to think, only move. She trusted Lucas enough to follow him blindly through danger and hope he would lead them out on the other side. It wasn’t that long ago that she would have refused to trust him for even a second.
