The Time Thief (2011)
“screamed Mika.
Aimee didn’t ask questions. She ran. Mika raced a metre behind her through the woods. Branches tore at her hair and scraped her skin, but she hardly noticed the pain.

“Run!” she yelled again, and threw herself through the fence boards. She landed on the lawn with a thump, then spran...g to her feet and ran faster than she’d ever run in her life. At any moment she expected to feel sharp teeth in her leg, pulling her down, savaging her.
