Escape to Eden
“It’s a small sports car that looks as liquid as black ink. Beneath a streetlight, the metal shimmers, making me think it can change its shape.
“Run!” Anthony grabs my arm and pulls me forward, but within a few steps I’m already ahead of him, fear overriding my stiff muscles. Colt is faster and leads the way deeper into the alley.
“Where do I go?” Colt calls.
“Ashton Street,” Anthony says.
“See you soon!” Colt turns into an adjacent alley, leaving us alone.
I stay close to Anthony, my heart pounding louder than the sound of my over-sized shoes slapping against the shiny pavement. One of them flies off, almost tripping me, and I quickly abandon the other and run barefoot.
The shimmering vehicle is almost on us when out of nowhere Jenna’s car appears, blocking its path. I expect to hear metal crunching against metal, but when I look back the hood of the ink-colored car looks like it’s buckling even though it hasn’t touched anything. It must be the car’s reaction to stopping suddenly.
