{LUMIRA} I had barely run into the woods when the loud crack of gunshots shredded the atmosphere. Sweat broke out across my forehead. He must have discovered that I had escaped. Although my mind was a panicked mess, I didn't stop running. My hands behind my back made it very difficult to run faster. It felt as if my whole body was pitching forward without balance. “Lumiraaaa!” My name bounced through the woods in a sing-song voice. A sob choked my throat as my emotions scattered all over the place. I was scared...extremely scared. What would happen if he caught me? That thought sent my adrenaline spiking and my fear intensified. I didn't want to die... Not like this. “You shouldn't have tried this s**t, Lumira! Now, I will be forced to shove my gun between your legs.
