The thrashing had stopped. Audrey took an uncertain step forward. “Eric?”

Something glimmered, coming toward her.

Not Eric. Something blue and shining. Like an optical illusion, there and then

gone. Audrey tried to make her eyes focus-and the lost time was fatal. By the

time she saw it clearly it was almost on her.

Oh, God-it was unbelievable. In the Shadow World the wolf had looked like a

wolf. Huge, massive, but just a wolf. This thing … was a phantom.

Like something painted with luminous paint on the air. Nothing in between the

brush strokes. Not exactly a skeleton-something worse. A specter. A

wraith-wolf.

The growling was real.

Audrey turned and ran.

It was right behind her. She could hear its growling over the roar of the

ocean, over her own sobbing breath. Her legs were beginning to ache already.

The thick sand sucked at her, dragging her down. It was like running in slow

motion.

She was closer to the lights. If she could just get there-but it was too far.

She would never make it.

The ground opened up in front of her.

That was what it looked like. A hole, black against the gray sand. Black with

flickering electric-blue edges.

The sand that had been her enemy helped her now, allowed her to catch herself

and fall to her knees. She fell right on the brink of the hole, staring down

in disbelief.

God-God. It was like nothing she had ever seen. Endless blackness forever.

Down at the very bottom there might have been the shimmer of a blue flame.

Audrey didn’t want to see any more. She staggered to her feet and ran toward

the slope on her left. If she

could climb up through the ice plant-maybe she could lose herself there.

But it was fast. It came up on her left side, cutting her off, forcing her to

swerve. It turned with her, forcing her to swerve again. To circle back toward

the hole.
