Vespyr
I can’t breathe.
My lungs are burning, my chest heaving. I’m light-headed and dizzy with
the need for oxygen. But I can’t stop running.
Run, by Blood!
Slowing down is not an option. Nor can I use magic to get me out of
here. It’s the only thing keeping me on two legs right now, and I can feel it
ebbing away.
Run. You have to run!
Behind me, the sound of footfalls is rhythmic and steady. A
measured beat that tells me that my pursuer is nowhere near tiring yet.
He’ll never tire. He’ll never stop hunting me. I know it as clearly as
I know my own name.
Vespyr Lyenede Bellingham…you have to keep running!
The dense thicket of trees is giving me some cover as I weave
through ancient tree trunks and duck through heavy undergrowth. This is no
lush forest, however. The vegetation is dark, and thorns snag me as I crash
through black brambles. My clothing offers some protection, but the heavy
blue velvet of my long skirt tangles around my legs as I move; I’m not
dressed for this. Then again, how could I expect that my plans would go so
badly off-track?
I’m too slow. Right now, the only thing keeping me ahead of the
hunter is the fact that he doesn’t know which direction I’m going to dart in.
I’ve slipped left, right, and doubled back my tracks in my efforts to lose
him. Nothing has worked. It’s as if he’s picked up my scent and is tracking
me like a hound.
Can’t…go…on!
My thigh muscles are screaming, and I feel my legs threaten to give
way. If I don’t take a moment to rest soon, I’m going to collapse, and then
there’ll be no escape. Once I go down, I’ll never get back up again.
Casting a quick glance about me as I reach a clearing, I spot a pair
of oddly intertwined tree trucks – broad enough to hide behind and even
remain hidden if I can find the strength to hold a glamor around me. With
shaking legs, I slip behind it and rest my back against the rough bark.
It
takes every bit of strength inside me to conjure up the shimmering shield
that will hide me in plain sight. Gritting my teeth and curling my fingers
into fists, I feel the first tingling tremors as the magic goes up.
The sound of boots grows closer. I hold my breath, trying not to
swallow for fear that he’ll hear it. The steps slow and then grow softer, as if
the hunter has come to a walk and is looking around him.
Time seems to slow down as I hold the glamor in place, my mind
filled with a single thought: stay hidden.
The sound of the hunter’s footfalls grows closer and closer, seeming
to echo inside my head as I wait for him to pass by.
But he doesn’t pass. A shadow flits over me, and then I can hear
him. Smell him, even. A rich, woody aroma enhanced by the warmth of his
body. By Blood, it’s like I can feel that, too. He’s close. So close. My heart
thunders in my ears, and I squeeze my eyes shut as if that will stop him
from seeing me.
