Cometflare: If you like SNEA so much, why don't you review? _ Lurrrrkerrr... XD I'm glad to hear you like Rebellion, it's one of the many that's given me an idea for a multi-chapter story. I won't be doing any multichaps until either this or SNEA are done.

He was coming.
The branches scratched at his cheeks with their long fingernails, leaving deep gashes, but he barely noticed. All it did was spur him to move even faster.

Keep running.
Keep moving.
"You know you can't get away, chibi-chan!" There! A rustling in the bushes – a brush that might have been a fluttering footstep – did that plant move?
Edward kept running.
