Warning: This chapter contains some gruesome scenes.

The sudden sound of footsteps halts her in her tracks and snaps her out of her thoughts. She quickly ducks behind a large tree, silently mumbling words of prayers. The sound of dead leaves crunching underneath a pair of boots continues to ring out.

As Abby silently waited for whoever it was, her vision becomes hazy and she begins to panic. Leaning back against the tree, she tries to calm herself down. No, they weren't going to find her, she was going to run to freedom once and for all.

Shutting her eyes, she mutters a prayer Morgan had once thought her while she was in there with her. After a few minutes, she begins to calm down.

Peeking out from her hiding place, she doesn't see anyone, so she continues to move. Everything around her felt still, almost like she was the only thing with life.
