As Alicia ran through the dense forest, her heart pounding with adrenaline, she could still feel the weight of Kaelon's attack lingering in her mind. Each step she took felt like a battle against the darkness that threatened to engulf her.
But amidst the chaos and fear, a glimmer of hope flickered within her. She clung to the belief that she could escape this nightmare, that she could find her way back to safety and freedom.
As Alicia continued to run through the dense forest, her breath coming in ragged gasps, she spotted a glimmer of light filtering through the thick foliage ahead.
Each step she took seemed to echo through the silent woods, the only sound the rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl in the distance. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying vegetation, adding to the sense of foreboding that hung heavy in the night air.
