You rush toward the outer wall. From behind, the shouting intensifies, and now the barking of dogs joins the cacophony. Huge raindrops hit your face as you dash across the field, and your feet lose traction several times on the slick ground. Sheets of lightning flare across the sky, and you spot the wall close now. Voices of several people are nearly audible, yelling "get him!"

The barking is even louder, until the thunder rolls in and fills the area with its boom and crash. You wonder if the thunder covers gunshots, but you don't slow down to look behind. When you arrive at the wall, you throw your body over it in one quick motion and spring back up on the other side. Into the forest, you run, fleeing into the safety of the trees and darkness. You keep a steady pace through the woods and don't stop until the sounds of the chasing mob are completely silent.
