Chapter 84: Wake up

She took a long breath and ran toward it when she felt a strong huge hand gripping her arm causing her to abruptly stop her run. 

She turned around. John was there glowering at her. A breath of relief escaped from her mouth but his eyebrows were knitted down in a frown and his arms were folded. 

"What did I tell you?" His tone of voice was raised as he gazing around, preoccupied someone would attack her.

"Go back inside." He ordered. His angry tone of voice made her nod silently and slowly come back inside while he kept an eye on her. He sighed. She was very headstrong.

He turned around when a dark shadow appeared on the ground. He groaned, realizing his archenemy was there. 

At each step he took, the shadow was stepping back as if it was following his movements.

"Too afraid to be seen?" John whispered as his eyes darted, trying to understand what he might be.

The strong wind started rising the pebbles from the ground as the soil quaked.
