บท 250: Arrival

The motion of the horse gallop stirred Mira up. She realized she was in motion and recollected what happened. The last thing she remembered was Leo knocking her out. That meant she was now with the people who were after her.

A wave of disappointment washed over her. The little hope she had left inside her was extinguished when Leo gave her to the pursuers. She refused to open her eyes and turn to see who the person behind her was because it would only make her feel worse.

After a while, she felt the horse she was on slow down. The sun was still high up in the sky, so a little of that light crept into her eyes. If they were slowing down, it meant that they were there. She opened her eyes to see the destination where she was being taken.

The minute her eyes opened, the sudden influx of light blinded her. She jerked back in reflex, surprising Leo. He caught her, making sure she wouldn't fall off the horse.

"You finally woke up," he said.
