Romans & histoires He Came Back Running

She looked at the screen, Benjamin's name showed up saying 'did you get home safe? “Yes, I got home safe. What about you?” Kathilyn replied back, and she waited for him to reply but no answer. She waited until her eyes felt heavy and fell asleep.

she screamed and ran after him When he realized that she was coming after him, he ran through a corner and she ran as fast as she could to catch up with him but he disappeared through the crossroad in the pack “he’s suspicious, why is he running away?” she remarked trying to catch her breath She slowly walked back to the chambers since she was tired from all the running and met the Prince and Derib already waiting in the chambers “You are back my Prince?” she greeted and ran closer to him “You are just coming to draw my bath? Didn’t I tell you to do that before I come back?” he yelled at her and she bowed immediately

’ I repeated his exact words, stuttering in between my sobs. I pushed my body up and forced myself to run. I was struggling, but I kept running. And I kept crying. ‘I got you, baby! I can hear you! I’ll be there soon!’ He reassured me, and it gave me the power to keep going. Soon, I heard paws thudding loudly against the earth, and a loud growl erupted in the air. Despite the uncertainty in my heart and the pain in my body, I let a smile curl on my lips as I continued running in the direction of his sound.

I announced, bursting the door open. "Momma, welcome back," he ran towards me from the bed, throwing his tiny arms around me. "Did you miss me?" I inquired, crutching down to his level. "Of course I did, momma," he declared, " I kept glancing at the clock for when you would come back, momma." "I am sorry, baby," I apologised, "momma..ran into someone." "Ohh, is it someone I know?" he asked, corking his head at me.

he said, finally. I frowned as the words hit my ears. As I could feel my mind instantly shoot around a million thoughts in my skull trying to understand what he meant. How was I a fast runner? And even if I was, how did he know? Or was it just another sick term aside from “my child”? But then I suddenly remembered running! As I suddenly remembered the time I got lost in the forest. I remembered the dead body. And I remembered the man that came and dragged it away.

I didn’t dare look back. But I heard the sound of his footsteps coming after me. I didn’t stop running. And even then, I didn’t dare believe I was safe.

Maybe it was just coincidence. He resumed walking, a little faster this time. The car followed. He narrowed his eyes and picked up pace. The vehicle sped up too. Without another thought, he broke into a run. His legs pounded the pavement, adrenaline pumping. He didn't stop until he reached the edge of the football field. Breathless and sweaty, he bent over, panting. His teammates looked at him, surprised. "You good, Ivan?" one asked. Ivan waved them off. "Yeah... just... ran a little too fast."

But I didn’t stop to listen. I yanked my arm free from his hold and kept running, not even looking back to see who he was.

I returned the greeting and continued eating when I heard him sigh. “I apologize for yesterday, Bella. I shouldn't have gotten your hopes up just to smash them on the floor.” “It happens.” I shrugged. “Not with me,” he said sternly. “And it won't happen again, you can count on that.” I nodded, “thank you,” “You were wonderful out there. Where did you learn how to run like that?” “It just came naturally to me. Most times when I felt down, I ran till I couldn’t feel my legs anymore.”

His voice sounded calm, but it felt like a threat. Instead of slowing down, I pushed through the pain in my back and increased my pace, my sneakers squeaking against the floor. I didn't care where I was going anymore, I just wanted to run away from him.
