My red dress was ripped apart as I tried to run through the trees and bushes, desperate to get away from them, and my makeup was ruined from crying in fear.  They were chasing me and no matter where I hid, I was sure they would find me. The smell of my rose scented perfume and the blood in my hands and

Illyria's POV   The waterfalls dragged me to the bottom of the river, where it was calmer. I surfaced and took a big gulp of air.

He was breathtaking, and every minute I spent next to him would be a minute I would have to hold myself back from giving in.     “It is indeed, possible.
