Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty Six

• I didn’t know how long I had been running, but I didn’t stop until Mason’s voice faded into the distance and my breath came in ragged gasps. My legs trembled, begging me to stop, but I pushed on until I found what seemed like a safe place.
• Finally, I collapsed by a large oak tree, leaning against its rough bark as I tried to catch my breath. The forest around me was eerily quiet, the only sound being the rustling of leaves in the wind.
