Chapter 42

“Hey! I am right here!” A hand waved in front of my eyes and I looked up to see Elijah looking at me in confusion.

“Where did you transport yourself to? Some dreamland?” He asked and I buried the memory of my first kiss with Callahan.

“Nothing. I was just wondering how to defeat you in the laps.” I answered and he placed his hands on his hips.

“Oh, I see. The little wolf is preparing herself to fight.”

He wiggled his eyebrows playfully and I gave him an amused smile.

“Go, get your headstart. Stand at whatever point you wish to start running from, I will still defeat you.

I liked the playful challenge and stood a few feet ahead of him. Elijah had his hands folded upon his chest,

“Are you sure that is enough? Come on, go ahead a bit more. I don’t want you to cry again.”

I did a fake pout, “I did not cry okay? I play fair”

He mimicked my voice, “I play fair, ooh, El is the bad guy”

I chuckled at that and took the position as he announced, “On your mark, get set, go!!”

1 shot forward with as much speed as possible and began to run as if my life depended on it. I looked back and Elijah still had not started running.

I shouted, “You are going to lose!!”

“He mocked me, “Ha! We will see!”

I kept running as fast as my legs could carry me. The sun had already risen and the darkness had been replaced by the first rays of sunlight.

I almost covered half the distance of the lap when Elijah finally started to run. Upon seeing him run, I increased my pace, my lungs burning and my legs aching in pain as I kept pushing them.

But despite that, he was beginning to close on me. I was wheezing and panting but I kept pushing myself, kept running and I finished just a second before his foot touched the line we had drawnL

I could not stand anymore and collapsed on the ground as I coughed and wheezed. Even Elijah fell on the ground beside me and soon we both were laughing.

My entire body was covered in a faint sheen of sweat, my chest felt like burning and I also feared all the air in the world would not be enough to fill my lungs.

But despite that, I felt great. Running had been exhilarating and laughing and joking around with Elijah, even more so
