CHAPTER 6

Year: 2016

Heart pounding, running out of breath. The dark night seeming not to end.

Footsteps rustling the dry leaves. Turning back, seeing nothing but a moving shadow, that is as quick as light.

Running as quickly as possible through Stanley Park, rustles of leaves, strands of hair sticking on her face, beads of sweat rolling down.

The shrieking sound of a skylark can be heard echoing in the dark night.

Hands on her chest, she is running out of breath, falls down on her knees and looks up. She squints trying to make out the shape laying on the floor.

With her last ounce of strength, she lifts herself up. Legs wobble as she staggers towards the figure.

On getting towards a five metre range, she realises with great astonishment " oh my God!! ".

A body.

She runs towards the body now with great strength coursing through her.

Turning the bloodied face, she saw the most ferocious blue eyes she had ever seen and she screams " oh my God!! Oliver!! ".
