Chapter 666

• Of all the stupid things she’d done in her life, this one ranked near the top of that list. It was a long list too. All she’d wanted to do was run and see the area she hadn’t seen in so many years.
• Many times, she was worried that she would never find her way back here. A few times, she’d almost given up, but then she would remember those who didn’t have the chance to return and had figured out which way to go. Well, she was back, and the first thing she does is get hurt before she can even speak to anyone.
• The last time she was running through this area, it had been on two legs because she couldn’t shift yet—and she hadn’t been alone, but with her sister, Emi. She closed her eyes, lay on the cold snow, and tried to see her face. It was gone now. She couldn’t see her sister.
