At some point, it began to seem that I suddenly stopped having enough air.
It's been a while since we ran away from the bear, and Maxie wouldn't let us stop. Eventually, I felt like I was suffocating.
— Maybe that's it already? I asked wearily.
— Of course not! If a black bear discovers prey, it pursues it to the end.
— But in my opinion he has long been behind…
— I told you not to turn around!
I sighed, and didn't argue with her. Probably, Maxie really understood all this much better than me. After all, her father had taken her hunting with him since childhood. It's better to listen to her now.
Although I really felt that I couldn't do it anymore. Leriana had weak lungs from birth.
While I was just rushing forward by inertia, I did not immediately notice the cliff in front of me. And when I noticed, it was too late. Slipping on the mud, I quickly fell down.
Damn it!
