Thirteen

DAWN POV.

My chest hurt, my lungs were on fire and my heart felt like it was trying to beat out of my chest. Pausing to catch my breath, I glanced around to take stock of where it was I was. My eyes widened when I noticed a huge cathedral just standing a few feet from where I stood.

Were the heavens really on my side? I rushed into the building like it was my salvation. Running towards the pulpit I looked around frantically for a crucifix, rosary, or whatever it was they called holy water.

Someone cleared their throat behind me and I jumped in panic whirling to face the person, my heart twisting in my chest.

For an insane moment, I thought my captor had caught up with me.
