Kapitel 95: Chapter 95: Leap of Faith

Ellie

Blade was running as fast as he possibly could. Ellie was keeping up, but as Blade exited the woods and was running through the meadow that Ellie knew bordered on a gorge so deep, if he fell in, they’d never hear from him again.

It was coming up so quickly that Ellie was hesitant to keep running at full speed for fear she might fall in herself.

River came between the trees to her right, and now all three of them were out in the open land. From here, it looked like the next set of woods was just ahead a hundred yards or so, but those trees were not an accessible place to hide, unless Blade was a really, really good jumper.

Ahead of her, Ellie watched as Blade realized there was a hole in the ground ahead of him. He slid, turning sideways, his back feet swinging around and dust and rocks flying into the air. He tipped to his right, his eyes bulging, but then, before he teetered in, he was able to fall back the other direction.
