Milena~
Leaves lash my skin as my legs dart faster through the forest than they’ve ever done. The sourness of my feet in my sandals increases as I climb the first rock.
This route is dangerous and harder than the previous. But it’s the best way to prevent Vladimir or his men from catching up with me.
The guard must have woken up and noticed I'm gone. Vladimir and his dogs must already be on the lookout for me.
I hug my medical book and the little bag of jewelry I stole, close to my chest as I slow down my pace, ambling carefully from rock to rock. Mark has shown me this path on one of the days we took a walk together.
He said it’s the shortest path that leads to the shore. Last time I escaped, I didn't have the time for proper preparation. But this time, everything has been laid out
