Bab 197: The lamb and the wolf

"Bambi!" 

I looked back at Hugo whilst sprinting through the woods, catching him extend his arms towards me. 

"Up!" he yelled and even without clear instruction, I reached for his hand. Trusting his strength, I let him throw me up like a rock. 

I landed on a thick tree branch, skipping from branch to branch at full speed. Hugo was dashing through the forest lane, keeping up with my speed while the vampires were hot on our tails. 

After Hugo sent Niall flying, we didn't have time to talk as the vampires attacked him all at once. Hugo managed to down a few of them in a single blow, while some tried to abduct me. I wouldn't let them touch me, so I also fought back, breaking the branch in the process. 

Things escalated from that moment on until Hugo and I ran. We didn't run because we were cowering, but because it was inconvenient. The vampires were growing in numbers. The plan was to lure them away from the territory they were occupying.
