Chapter 74

• ~THEO'S POV~
• As Sarah and I walked through the thick forest, our steps hastened by the second. The air grew thick with mystery and danger and an ominous presence hung over the ancient trees. Shadows danced among the twisted branches, whispering secrets that sent a chill through my bones. The forest was a labyrinth of towering trees, their gnarled roots snaking through the dark undergrowth.
• We were aware that mysterious creatures lurked in the shadows with their eyes gleaming with untamed wildness and ready to pounce on us if we make the mistake of wanting to rest for a night. This was why we'd been awake and walking for four days straight.
