Chapter 18

Emma followed Em through the streets of the town. Though it was pretty dark they still tried to stick to the shadows. After about five more minutes they stopped running. Emma tried to catch her breath. When they were far enough from the mansion all the pain in her body came back. Besides, she wasn’t exactly a sport type so she had trouble keeping up with Em.

After picking round the corner Em turned to Emma and whispered: “Now we are going on the lighter streets. We are not going to run anymore so that we won’t attract any attention,” Em gave Emma a look a teacher could give a stupid student. “We’ll do a few circles to make sure nobody’s following us. Got it?”

Emma nodded as she was still breathing quite heavily.

“Don’t ask me any stupid questions. We are in public”.

Em didn’t wait for an answer this time. She picked one more time round the corner then gave a motion for Emma that meant they are going out.
