“Come here!” I urged “I can’t!” He sobbed‚ holding his wound. He slid to the ground‚ groaning. I clumsily loped my way over to him and grabbed his ankles. I turned and started dragging him to the tent‚ digging my feet into the ground. A lioness’s strength poured through me.

The scream is cut off when a meaty hand covers my mouth. No longer wearing shades‚ I can now see Paul’s face smiling a devil’s grin at me. One of his eye sockets is a horrible‚ gaping hole. I focus on the other one and instantly regret it when I see the malice there. “How are you‚ my little siren?” His laugh is low and malicious as I start to struggle in his grasp. “Thought you were going to get away that easy?
