Run, Run, Little One

Song recommendation: Lullaby of Woe by Ashley Serena

....

"Do not move, Xueyi."

Ran Xueyi didn't need anyone to tell her she shouldn't move. The red dot that links across where somebody could be sniping at her was enough for her heart to stop pumping blood.

With every breath she took, the sniper could be caressing the trigger like a baby's butt. They could be smiling, stroking their sadistic egos to bring out the primal fear of death inside her.

"We need to get her out of the sniper's range," Alina said.

"Easier said than done."

"Well, is there anything else you can do then?"

"I'm thinking."

"Something more productive than that."

Evgenia shot her a look. "What about you?"

Alina gritted her teeth. "Moral support."
