Christi's POV
I staggered through the forest, its thickness enveloping the sunlight above. The rough bodies of tree branches scratched my skin, leaving painful cuts on it. As I moved deeper, it only got darker and sounds of creepy creatures in the forest played horror in my ears.
Where was I heading? I had no idea. All I was certain of was that it was away from the castle, and away from Ryker.
A howl from a distance made me flinch. Were the Blood Moon pack following me?
No. They wouldn't waste their time trying to find me. They had been planning to send me away, anyway.
I felt something falling on my shoulder and I jumped back in fear, my voice breaking through the thick forest, "Who's there?!" I asked. I found no one behind me.
I heard another howl from a distance, "Show yourself!"
