The Retreat (The After Trilogy book 1)
“A nagging self-doubt plagued her––a fear that every step she took might move her away from her friends.
Romy knew she could be thousands of kilometres away from her knot.
She couldn’t stop thinking about how it was her piece of the wreckage that possessed the parachute. Did the battler have more than one parachute? And there was also the fire outside the craft, let alone the fact the ship tore to smithereens somewhere during the crash landing.
She took one unsatisfying mouthful of w...ater to quell the scratchy thirst in her throat. The sun was lower in the sky, and the temperature steadily dropped. She welcomed the reprieve from the beating heat. Progress was slow. Her palms, though used to gripping guns and cleaning, were covered in blisters from the crutches. Her ankle had settled into a deep burning ache, which throbbed with every jarring hop.
The sun dipped just below the trees when the ground beneath Romy’s feet began to slope upwards.MoreLess
