Our Mayhem [Part 3]: The Reunion

"WHAT?!"

Northern, tensed, exchanged glances between the darkness and Raven.

"All the more reason why we should be on our way, dammit! Let's run while you can still see."

He took her hand and sprinted forward. Naturally, he'd have used his speed abilities but he was worried if Raven would actually be able to handle it.

Both of them ran forward and continued running through the woods.

The darkness in that moment seemed to increase its pace, consuming everything in its path and getting closer to them.

Northern clicked his tongue in annoyance. This was getting too slow for him; if he was the only one, he'd have outrun this damn thing.

Suddenly without thinking twice, he came to a stop, swept Raven off her feet, into his arms and said to her:

"Brace yourself."

Without a breath after speaking, Northern shot forward like a bolt of lightning striking from a clear sky.
