Chapter 0299

"We were told to escort you miss."

"Unbelievable...very well." She nods at them before turning and whistling, Lobo seconds later, running out of the front door to be by her side. "Which direction miss?"

"The Meadow, I know that area like the back of my hand. I'll know if something is abnormal." She orders before breaking out into a run, Lobo by her side.

With each branch movement in the soft evening's breeze, each nocturnal animal's fight for it's dinner, each deafening moment of silence...her heart beats, adrenaline preparing her to fight. Preparing her to shoot that
