Bab 495: Chapter 82: Let Her Go

She took a deep breath, turned on her heel, and started to run. Within seconds a hand closed around her arm, and her shoulder jerked painfully in its socket. The brown-haired leader pulled her back toward the group.

"Well, boys, it looks like we have a runner," he said.
