Back To Safety(?)

"Hounds...I hear dogs, Fizzy... They are looking for us, aren't they?" Rory took a step forward.

"Yeah, they should be," Liam placed his hand on the small of her back. He hoped it was the dogs from her grandmother's place. 

But by the luck they encountered till then, he didn't dare to hold much hope.

"Apollo!" Rory shouted. "It is him. I recognize his voice."She told Liam with a big grin.

She ran in the direction they heard the dogs. Liam followed her closely having an eye over everything. He cannot be careless now.

"Apollo! Minerva!" Rory shouted. "We are here!"

As she got closer, Liam could hear the barks of the dogs intensifying. 

And torches... he saw at least five people with torches. 

"Rory! Liam!"

Both of them heard the familiar voice. 

"Derick!" Rory waved her hand and plopped on the ground kneeling. Covering her face she cried. 

"Thank God you're here..." She mumbled.
