Where The Crawdads Sing Chase Novels & Stories

Not just that, from his expression, he showed that he doesn't like me. Just then I received a picture from my secret agent. It was a picture of Caleb and Sarah inside a car beside an ice-cream joint. In a bid to let out my fury, I screamed. I needed to act fast but with lots of wisdom. “Caleb, you fell into my trap. No one will take you from me, no one.” I snorted. Two hours have passed and Caleb hasn't returned home. I thought of what next to do. I didn't see Caleb at Mr. Michael's event but I saw Sarah and her team when they were gobsmacked when they couldn't find the fabrics in their car.

Zander asked. “Yes,” I responded. Desiree signaled the quartet, and the music changed. "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol started from the quartet. I almost started crying before I entered the room. “Nathan,” I whimpered. “He chose my favorite song.” “Yes,” Desiree wiped a tear from her eye. “Now go to him.”

Em A little while later they were trudging through some woods to get to a barn out behind Chase’s house. It was dark and nearly impossible to see anything. But they could hear the music and people talking in the distance. They finally made it and was amazed how the barn looked. It was lit up like a Christmas tree. Several people stood outside, but the inside was packed full. Em immediately started looking around for the guys but she didn’t see any of them. There was a small kitchen area over to the side where they went to get drinks. They each got a can of Coke, neither of them wanting alcohol at that moment.

My eyes instantly dart towards the opposite side of the road from where it looks like the cry is coming from. As I scan through the surroundings now, I realize that the place seems to be extremely deserted, with very few houses noticeable at a faraway corner. And it scares me now, realizing that the only sound that could be heard here is of cricket's chirping in a haunting manner. Damn! Am I freaking out?

“Run! Yes, run! I love the chase!” Branches whipped across my face, tearing my skin, but I didn’t stop. My lungs burned, my wound screamed, but still I pushed forward, weaving through trees, leaping over roots, dodging every shadow I could. The pounding of paws grew louder snarls and barks at my back, their hot breath too close. Caeleen’s voice boomed behind them, feral with delight. “You can’t outrun me, Nadia! I’ve hunted stronger prey than you, and they all fell. You’ll fall too!”

Like we weren’t even connected by vows or the life we’d built or I thought we’d built. I swallowed the lump in my throat. Tears brimmed. I had to escape. I backed away, dropped the tray, and fled to the bedroom. Frantic, I picked up my phone. I needed to act, Sabastian couldn’t know I was pregnant. I dialed the number I’d been avoiding for months. Now was the time. “When is the next available flight to Sydney?” I asked, voice shaking. “Tomorrow afternoon, ma'am ” came the prompt reply.

I needed to give him a head start. I dried my tears, put my buds in my ears, and stood up, splashing my face and hair with water to make it look like I was sweating, and then I ran in the direction I'd heard Chase. I found him quick, and when his eyes fell on mine, I slowed down so he could catch up to me. With my music blaring, I couldn’t hear him, but I could see his mouth moving. By the look on his face, it wasn’t good, either. Plucking the buds out of my ears, Chase then said, "Aubrey? Where the hell have you been? Didn't you hear me calling you?" He’d said a lot more than that, but I was kind of glad I hadn’t heard it.

"Everything is fine." A crease formed between his brows. "Are you sure? Because you're shifting in your chair again and again. Are you not comfortable with it?" I shook my head. "No, no! It's very comfortable. Actually I was just waiting for the song. You said they host live singing here?" Now his attention was shifted from my problem, thank God for that. "Oh yeah. It will start in just a minute. They hire some really good singers. You'll love it!"

I stared at him too and now he was just looking around. David was still talking but with someone else that joined them. Scott looked terribly bored. "Why? Why doesn't he come?" I ask.

She saw the boss talking and tried to focus on that. "Move or she dies. Now." Both her mother and brother moved away from her. The boss nodded to his men to go. Her mother started screaming again and tried to reach her but Ethan held her back. He was crying too but seemed to understand that there was nothing they could do now. Her eyes locked with his for a moment and she could see the promise in them. That he would get her out of there somehow. There were a million things she could have said then but her mouth was glued. She could not feel anything other than the numbness that gripped her entire being. The man holding her tugged her and she walked. The sun was almost red now and sat at the
