Tangled
Chapter 80
80 Ava: Moonlight and Peace
The stench of blood and death clings to my skin, my clothes, invading my senses with its coppery tang.
Yet the moon spreads its light over my face, blessing me with its ethereal glow. It’s surreal, an entire world away from the violence.
I laugh as my mind wanders into memories of science class. Of planets and space.

urgency.
Answering is impossible, so I give a weak nod, my gaze flickering to the gruesome scene behind him. Lifeless wolves litter the forest floor, their bodies twisted and mangled.
The price of freedom.
Even knowing that they wouldn’t reciprocate the sentiment, their lives weigh heavy on my soul.
“We need to move,” Lucas says, still supporting me. “Can you walk?”
The world spins with every movement I make, so I just blink at him. I can’t shake my head. If I do, it just might fall off.
Without another word, Lucas scoops me into his arms, cradling me against his bare chest as he rises to his
feet.
