Chapter Seventeen

Callista pants as she comes close to the wall, her hand pressing against the blistering surface. The sun heats her skin as she struggles to get air into her lungs. Smoke still filled her lungs from a few hours ago, making her hack as she walks away. The escape didn't seem real, the last week and a half being bound to them, having no way to escape. It was as if the smoke wanted her to escape, to confuse the vampires as it swirled around them. The wall beside her grew boiling hot where it feels like it was cooking her hand. She yanks it off and presses it against her shirt.
