I froze--what was that? I could just make out the figures breaking through the trees. I sprinted madly through the woods, my clothes catching on branches, my hair becoming tangled. There was no way I could run faster than them.
Breathing hard, I skittered to a stop. There it was again. They'd chased me the whole way back! That's why they kept at such a distance--they weren't really planning on catching me. "They thought I'd catch myself." I whispered in horror. No way I was going back there. Ever.
I spun around, ready to run anywhere. I didn't care, as long as it wasn't here. Someone caught my arm before I could take off. "Hello, Catalin."
