Chapter 190: Minos

~ SASHA ~

The bull-man thing took a single step in her direction, his eyes angry and nostrils flaring. Sasha panicked and scrambled around behind the trunk of the tree to put it between them. In order to climb it from the other side she'd have to turn her back to that thing and she couldn't… she didn't know how fast it could run and…

Suddenly, it started towards her, stalking, it's gait stiff and hands clenched to fists. Sasha swore and grabbed at the tree, the rough bark skinning her palms as she tried to climb while still watching it around the trunk, but as soon as she moved, the thing began to run.

"Zev!" she screamed. "Zev!"

"Sash?!" His voice rose in a stifled echo from among the trees off to her right.
