Chapter 57 Down the Mountain

• I had made it just far enough, I was beginning to feel a swell of hope. I’d known that I either wouldn’t make it two steps and would have to endure the repercussions of my efforts, or I would get down there and to the safety of my sister’s home.
• Their voices behind me were becoming more distant. Indicating I was putting more distance between myself and Archer’s men.
