Fear and adrenaline were pushing our bodies forward. I looked into her brown eyes so filled with fear, and I had to take the blame for putting that fear in her eyes. I looked back and saw that he was catching up to us. I pushed forward and she followed my lead, like she has been doing since we were children playing in her backyard.
We broke through the trees and saw a cliff staring us in the face. We skidded to a stop and she looked to me for guidance. I ignored the many questions in her eyes and turned toward our immediate threat.
I straightened up into a ready-fighting stance as he finally broke through the trees. His fair hair seemed to glow in the moonlight. He flashed me the smile that had once melted my heart but now it sent chills down my spine. I looked into his ice blue eyes as he sauntered forward to kill us.
