Harper was awakened by a bird call off in the trees. He sighed and sat up quickly, gritting his teeth against the throb in his body. He rested his head in his hands briefly, then forced himself to look around at his surroundings. He had no idea where he was. He had run blindly from the Maru to his current position. Suddenly, a twig behind him snapped. Harper leapt to his feet, ignoring the flare up in his wounded leg, and spun around, ready to fight. His wide eyes darted around, straining to see movement. Nothing moved. Harper took a few cautious steps backwards, then turned and ran. He heard something give chase, but didn't dare a glance over his shoulder. His leg went blissfully numb quickly and his pace increased. A terrifying thought flashed though his mind, but he pushed it aside.

'I'm going to die here, and it'll be at Dylan's hand.'
