Her eyes opened to pain and the sound of thunder. It was raining and dark. A flash of lightning lit up the sky. She was lying on the ground and she started to remember. She had been falling.

Shock raced through her, setting her nerves on edge and her skin all a tingle. The scars on her right arm and across her chest tightened and her breath caught in her throat as she sat up.

The children. Where were the children?

Jumping to her feet she scoured the darkness. They were not here, not about and the air seemed to release from her lungs.

Rain poured down, soaking her clothes and hair. Plastering strands to her face and forehead. How long had she been out? Then she remembered it was dark as she fell only that was impossible. It had been light when she entered that bedroom. Light when the children forced her out of the window.

What is happening?

Quickly, she turned in a circle. The house was dark behind her. Menacing and closed it seemed to repel her like water off an oilskin. Round and round she turned. Desperate in the rain and the dark. What should she do? Where could she go? How would she survive this?

Then she thought of Nick, of the priest. It was light enough for her to see in front of her and what other choice did she have. There was no way she was going back into the house. No way was she facing those kids. Yet maybe she could get to his house and then she would be safe.

Setting off toward the back of the house she pushed through the rain. Shivering now as the cold penetrated through her exhausted mind. Would she find his house in the dark?

The sound of a scream rang out behind her. It was desolate and full of pain and it pushed her onward. She would run until she found something, for anything was better than here.

Soon she was amongst the trees. Panting, she pushed aside branches as she raced through the dark. The rain streamed down, and thunder rumbled in the distance. It was so much darker beneath the branches and she feared she would get lost but what did it matter?

On and on she ran as if a hound of hell was panting at her back. Chasing her, hunting her, ready to drag her down and back to that house.

A branch hit her face and she cried out and pushed it aside. The rain was so heavy now. It ran into her eyes and she blinked it away. Ducking and weaving she ran blindly through the trees and then she saw a clearing. Maybe she had found the priests home and yet there were no lights.

Coming out of the trees she let out a gasp and slowed to a walk. If she could just take a moment to get her bearings then it would be easier. Only behind her the bushes shook and she could hear something coming through them. Something chased her.
