Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 61

Screams. Wood. Crunching sounds. Huge, bloody black paws with deadly claws. Her hands covered with it.

Screann. Blood. Crunching sounds.

Over and over again

Darkness. An evil, almost tangible darkness all around her.

A woman, lying prone e in the woods. Lifeless, the same as others around her.

A beach. It was so calming, so peaceful. But the darkness bled in, ruining the moment, sucking her back in.

Ava shot up with a jolt, fighting the darkness. It was all around her, on her skin, seepang into her body. Her heart was pumping triple times as she fell off the bed and jumped to her feet immediately, still swinging her fists.

It took her a moment to realise she was standing in Ezekiel’s bedroom and there was nothing to fight. But it still felt like there was, as if she was drowning in something. Her head felt like cution wool, her thoughts disappearing the moment die had them. Was she awake? Or was this still a nightmare! Everything had a hazy, dreamlike quality as she looked around the expansive room. She took deep breaths as she sank onto the hei and tried to calan herself. But her body was trembling too much and remained in fight mode.

It looked like she was awake, but how? Why was she back here? She had been trying to escape, and then…..

The purple eyes, the snakes, the living trees.

She pulled her feet up to her chest and continued breathing deeply. Those images remained in her head instead of disappearing like everything else. The forest… It was evil. It wasn’t supposed to exist. She shivered as she felt the sickly feeling sliding down her skin again and hugged herself righter. She didn’t want to be here. She didn’t want to be so close to something like that, something that trapped her in the acadeany to meer hier death. And that was all she could feel around her. Death.

The door opened slowly, and she held her breath, expecting to see Ezekiel and face his anger. Her thoughts about him were crystal clear despite everything else being hazy.
