Avery's heart was racing as she listened to the footsteps , her eyes fixed on Julian's . They were stranded , alone and vulnerable , with no way to escape .
Julian's expression was grim , his jaw clenched in determination . " We have to move ," he said , " Now ."
Avery nodded , her mind racing with fear . They scrambled out of the car , Julian grabbing her hand as they sprinted down the highway .
The footsteps behind them grew louder , closer . Avery could feel the presence closing in around them , it's darkness spreading like a stain across the landscape .
Julian pulled her off the road , into a dense thicket of trees . They ran as fast as they could , branches snapping beneath their feet .
Avery's breath came in ragged gasps , her heart pounding in her chest . She could feel the pursuer closing in , it's presence suffocating .
Suddenly , Julian stopped , his eyes scanning their surroundings . " We need to hide ," he whispered .
Avery nodded , her mind racing . Where could they hide ?
Julian spotted a small cave behind a waterfall , and they sprinted toward it . They dove inside , panting , as the pursuer stormed past the entrance .
Avery's heart was racing , her eyes fixed on Julian's . They were safe , for now .
But as they caught their breath , Avery realized that they couldn't stay hidden forever . They had to face their pursuer , and uncover the truth behind the sinister forces hunting them .
What would they do next ?
