Chapter Ten

Running was something I could do. I might not be a track superstar, but these legs could sprint as long as there weren’t fallen branches, tangled ivy, rocks, or basically anything I could trip on.

It just so happened that the woods were full of all the above.

Fricking awesome.

Did I mention it was also growing dark?

I was so screwed, but it didn’t stop me from hauling ass. Sticking to the dirt path as much as possible, I headed deeper into the woods, uncertain where I was going. It wasn’t long before my feet began to blister from rubbing against the slip-on. Branches and sharp leaves cut into my arms and legs, but I didn’t stop, afraid of who would find me or who wouldn’t.

Clenching my jaw, I bared the pain, and pushed forward. My heart beat rapidly from exhaustion and adrenaline, but through the treetops, I could hear the battle between the dragons and the wraith.

Out of nowhere, Kieran pinned me against a tree, shielding me with his body from the wraith that dove from the sky and through the treetops. Holy crap. Where had he come from? It was evident that Kieran didn’t know his own strength. Pain seared through me, and I felt like a china doll that could shatter at any moment.

Everything about the dragon overwhelmed my senses, from the feeling of his muscular body pressed against mine, to the light scent of his woodsy aroma surrounding me. I could have easily forgotten the danger above.

His eyes swept over my face, and I stared back. “Are you okay?” he said.

I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.

“Stay here,” he commanded me and then ripped his clothes off, shifting into a glorious dragon, taking off to help Jase and Zade in the sky.

Like hell I will.

My brain cells were just settling down after being shaken, when I pushed off the tree.

Finally, an opening came into view. Pale moonlight splashed onto the grass as I stumbled into the clearing, nearly falling and eating dirt. That would have been a hell of a look, Olivia.

I glanced around. Now what?

Did I keep running? Did I hide? And then what? I didn’t know how to get off this island. I had been utterly foolish to think I could survive on my own. How long would I last out here? A few days? A week?

Five more minutes?

A twig snapped behind me, and I swung around, casting my eyes to the edge of the woods where I had come from. I found myself face to face with a wraith.

Holy shit! What’s the plan now, smartass? Scream for help?

The shadowy creature shrieked, blowing my hair off my face. Its breath smelled of rotting flesh. Someone needs a Tic Tac.

Up close, the wraith was scarier than I’d imagined. Under its hooded cloak of rags, the creature had no face. Where I expected to see his eyes was nothing but darkness. Completely freaked out, I sprang into action.

Turning, I ran, but I barely got a few yards before cold, bony hands latched onto me.
