About the Author
Chapter 1
Have you ever been alone? I mean truly alone. So much so, that you thought you might be the last person on earth? Deep down inside you knew there must be someone else out there, but a part of you really wasn’t sure.
I have. And it wasn’t the eerie silence that bothered me, or the lack of warmth when I huddled alone under a tree, shivering to no end. It was the thought of dying alone. To have nobody that would mourn me, miss me … it terrified me. Dying alone could be my reality any day now.
And I knew I would die, someday, I just wasn’t prepared for how soon that day would come. I prayed every night that I wouldn’t be alone when it happened, not like I was now. Not while the living nightmares haunted my every thought, consuming every facet of my being.
The shadows of unknown creatures stalked me through this forest, hunting me. Focusing all their energy on me because I was the only one they were looking for, there was no one else to look for. They took their time, waiting for me to slip up and the opportunity to rip me to shreds presented itself.
It was just me, and them.
Alone.
I would die alone.
Feet hit the ground. Harder, faster. My feet. I was pushing them as much I could but the creatures that tracked me were stronger and bigger. I dove under the low hanging brush, thorns scraping at my face, but I couldn’t stop, couldn’t slow down. Jumping back up to my feet I took off again. My breath was hot and it burned my lungs but there was no way out, no way through this dense forest I had spent the last few weeks alone in. But still I tried. I pushed myself as hard as I could so that I might survive—for him. For my dad. He’d sacrificed himself to get me out of that city and I couldn’t let that be in vain.
When I came to a stop, my feet skidded across the leaf-strewn forest floor and I nearly missed it, nearly missed my salvation. My chest loosened at the thought that I might be safe. For tonight anyways. These things were smart, cunning. They would find a way to get to me and I would be on the move again.
I climbed the tree as high as I could, my muscles protesting with every move, before I stepped on to the strong branch flexed out to the slick stone wall I now reached for. It was protruding from the rich green forest bed in one clean line straight up and straight down. My hand slipped on the smooth edge and I nearly lost my balance, but I held onto the branch and tried once more. I gripped the edge of the cliff and pulled myself into the small crevice that was just large enough
