Who Were We Running From Season 2 Novels & Stories

We tried to blend into the crowd, but the routine scans gave us away, and before I knew it, we were the focus of the cops' ground scanners. We could hear the hinges of the scanner loosen up and the light from it starting to beam at us. Karen’s hands began to tremble in fear. I could see that it was now or never. So I looked back to catch Karen's gaze. "Run," I whispered, pushing Karen away. The two of us bolted, sprinting as fast as we could. We swerved through alleys and ran through backyards, not caring about where we were headed, as long as away from the cops.

People backed away, pushing into each other, trying to run. “What the hell was that?” Maya cried. “Lila,” I said, turning quickly, “Did you…?” “I didn’t mean to!” Lila said, eyes wide and teary. “I got scared when they pointed things at us!” “Run!” I shouted. “We need to get out of here now!” We didn’t wait. Instinct kicked in. Feet pounding the pavement, we bolted. I grabbed Lila’s hand and pulled her close, making sure she kept up. Dane, Kane, and Zane were just ahead of us, leading the way toward the edge of the crowd. Maya stuck close beside me, her breath coming out in gasps.

Not in this country. We were all wanted. Every single one of us within these woods. We all had escaped prosecution. We all had a kill order on us. But we chose to live our lives unafraid. Me, Jaxon, Grey, and Will had all made the decision a long time ago that we were our people’s first defense. Many of the people we were protecting were grown-ups. But they were scared, so they let kids take over. Grey’s little sister, Gracelyn lived with us too, but she was too little to understand the role we had to play yet.

In the gloomy and desolate back alley, I just kept on running and running, not even minding how tired I was. Both men are running at lightning speed behind me, and I don't even know where they are getting their energy to do just that. Are they really humans, or, like me, are they part of some pack? "Snow, run a bit faster. We need to lose them," Eris reminded me.

I had never seen Ethan look so angry. The man lifted his weapon. James fired first. The sound echoed through the chamber. Everyone screamed. “RUN!” James grabbed Maya while Sarah pulled me toward the exit. Ethan helped Elena move. I kept looking behind me as we ran. I expected to see my father. I expected him to come back. Maybe I wanted him to. Maybe some stupid part of me still believed that he had a good explanation for everything. But he never came. We rushed through the corridor, with James leading the way and Ethan supporting Elena.

,I stopped for a while,I used the tree beside,me help me get down. When I felt my ass,touch the wet muddy ground, I let out a sigh,of relief. My throat and tongue were parched.,I needed water, I finished a bottle.The only bottle I brought. I really did not think through this.Where was I actually running,too? What if this forest never ends? What if a rogue comes and kills me? What am I going,to do? I knew I couldn't go back. Even if I wanted to go back, I couldn't. I was lost.

We burst out into the alley, the cold night air biting against my skin. “They won’t stop,” I gasped as we ran. “They’re going to hunt us down.” “I know.” His voice was grim, but there was no hesitation in his stride. “We need to disappear.” I knew exactly where we had to go. --- We drove through the city in a stolen car, taking backroads and avoiding main streets. Every shadow felt like a threat, every passing car a potential tail. Helios was silent beside me, gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.

No one spoke until they were miles away from the city. When the trees filled the horizon and the cell signal completely disappeared, Maya could no longer contain her unease. The road was surrounded by dense forest, and there was absolutely nothing around except that straight road taking them somewhere. “Cael... Bia...” her voice broke the silence. “Why are we running away?” They exchanged looks as if they had expected the question. Bia sighed. “We are not running away.” “We’re taking you somewhere safe,” Cael finished without taking his eyes off the road.

I pressed on desperately, my heart thumping hard against my ribs, it was getting harder to get words out my mouth as the second passed. “Because you’ve been spotted with me. Now come with me and please do as I say.” He said as he unlocked the door with a key and made his way out. I hesitated for a few seconds before flying out of the room, not knowing what to think and what to make of all what just happened as I quickly followed Chris’s footsteps. Jesus. What the hell was happening?

But the leg is not in such a shape that it can run over uneven ground while bearing Fred's full weight. We stand at the invisible start line of a race of unknown length and take a deep breath. Martin, Madeline, Maverick and I look at each other, conveying our concern. We take a deep breath. “Go,” Maverick says. The seven of us break into a run while Noah, Douglas and Fred go as fast as they can. About 15 steps in the first arrow swoops past me, hitting the ground. “Keep moving,” I yell. Zigzagging through the forest. I hate that we are just running from them trying to avoid getting hit but without weapons or protection it’s our only option. Run, hope and pray to the Moon Goddess that she wil
