Chapter 21

I started to run in the direction I saw him going. After a while, I lost him. I ran fast, faster than anyone could think humanly possible. I stopped in a small clearing. My eyes searched the woods, but I couldn't find him. I strained to listen for him but heard nothing, except my breathing. I even tried to smell the air, all I could smell was dead leaves, pine, and well forest.

I frowned, why weren't my senses working?

They worked since the day I got them. Only after a while did I realize it was because I used them in closed spaces. It was a bit harder in open ones

.

I doubled back to where I saw George last.

I closed my eyes and focused. I focused on the different smells around me. I listened to the forest. A moment passed when I finally recognized George's scent. It was a mix of peppermint and something else.
