Landing
“My legs are still twitchy, and branches slap at my face and arms, but that’s not about to slow me down. The only thing slowing me down is Tarren. I pass him, and now check myself to keep his pace out of habit.
We break through the woods into the empty park, and I catch the glow of the circus tent up ahead. It’s loud and alive, and I realize that the evening acrobatic show has started.
Tarren pulls to a stop and hauls in a huge breath that he unleashes in plumes of white from his mouth. Thunder ...rolls across the sky, a menacing growl, and I’m suddenly aware of the growing darkness and the rain pattering all around us.
“We need to keep going,” I clamor at him.

Something weird is going on in his aura, a pulse of calm blue in the vortex of reds and orange.
“We can’t outrun him,” he says.
“But…”
“Listen to me.” Tarren’s voice is low and commanding. That blue pearl at the center of his aura grows, eclipsing the other colors.MoreLess
