Chapter Thirteen

Evie spent the next morning walking the campus, memorizing alternate routes to her classes. She’d learned early on to never become predictable in her daily habits. To do so, could spell disaster from an unforeseen enemy.

By the time she made her way back to the human side of campus,, the sun had moved closer to the western horizon. The late afternoon beckoned to Evie, too beautiful to be stuck inside. She ran back to her dorm and changed into a pair of leggings, sports bra, and a racer back t-shirt, replacing her Converse with her trainers and bunching up her hair into a loose ponytail. She was determined to take advantage of the late afternoon sunshine. With the days still warm, the nights cooling off by about twenty degrees created the perfect opportunity for a therapeutic run.

Earlier, she studied the campus map to determine where one of the main trails began. Headed in the right direction, she popped her earphones into her ears, selected her favorite playlist, and took off at a slow paced jog.

Evie loved to run. It allowed her to escape from the world around her, finding peace within herself. The steady pace, the feel of her muscles warming up, the music blaring in her ears. All were nirvana to her. She loved the outdoors, hardly tolerating being trapped indoors on a beautiful day. Growing up in various camps across the country her entire life fed her adoration of the outdoors. They may have lived in cabins, but she rarely stayed inside, preferring to run amok among the heavily wooded forests that surrounded their settlement.

Evie savored the sensation of her muscles relaxing as her body heated with exertion from the slow pace of her run. She entered the head of the trail a short time later. Taking a deep breath, she inhaled slowly. The fresh scent of pine trees mixed with the smell of damp earth filled her nose, making her feel at home in the forest.

Twenty minutes into her run, the path widened considerably, spilling her out into a large clearing. Evie paused in her run to admire the exquisite view presented before her. The clearing wasn’t overly large, maybe a hundred feet across. The lush, deep blue-green grass looked like freshly planted sod. On the other side, a small waterfall cascaded down a cliff face into a spring. Through the crystal clear water, the rocks that pebbled along the floor of the natural pool were visible. In the center of the spring arose an island created by a large, flat boulder, big enough for two or three swimmers to stretch out, sunbathing on a hot afternoon.

Evie bent down to test the temperature, surprised at the chilliness of it. In mid-summer, when the temperatures soared to the highest of the season, the spring would be refreshing. But right now, she needed to be a polar bear to swim it.

“It’s sixty-eight degrees, year round.” A deep voice informed her. She jumped and spun in a complete circle, trying to locate the speaker.
