Chapter 27: Run (Ch.27)

"Run Zari! You have to keep running!" Zariah chanted in her head as adrenaline rushed through her muscles, her muscles pumped, pushing her to go even faster.

"Keep running Zari, Keep running!" Zariah growled within her mind as she moved even faster, her breath came out in short pants and her muscles ached terribly but Zariah was beyond caring.

Zariah could think of nothing else, with the pain from her muscles clouding her mind and the constant mental reminder to keep running despite the physical strain and exhaustion tugging at her muscles, Zariah could not think of anything else.

Zariah did not want to think of anything else, only like this with her mind clouded and her body in motion, only in this way could she prevent her mind from straying down that unwanted path.

Only in this way could she keep herself from remembering that maddening scent that stuck to her heart so tightly, quite nearly driving her mad with desire and terror.
