Chapter 204: The Guardian of the Valley

I grabbed Mona's arm and dragged her back, towards the gap in the wall. Laura did the same with Theresa.

"What's going on?" Mona asked as I dragged her towards the cavern entrance. "Why are we running?"

I didn't respond, not because I wanted to keep her in the dark, but because I didn't know myself. All I knew was that every fibre of my being was telling me to get the hell out of this place.

Suddenly the cave seemed so far away. As we ran up the hilly terrain, Laura and Theresa caught up to us. Mona freed her hand as I stumbled and glared at me. I was quick to regain my balance. "What are we running from?" She shouted.

I took a breath, ready to shout at her to trust me, but before I could get the words out, I stumbled again and fell on the ground.

The moving ground.

My heart skipped a beat as the ground beneath our feet slowly moved up.
