The Mafia Bride (Katrina and Silas)

Chapter 7

"Go after her Someone yelled from behind me, a dog barking lolly.

Did they send a dog after me? The distant barks were enough to answer my question.

My heart jumped at the thought of that, and just like that. I could see my chances of escaping dwindling.

It didn't make it better that I had no idea where I was running to but I wasn't going to give up just like that.

I picked up my pace as I ran off the pathway, running into the woods. It would be more difficult for them to find me here and I would be able to escape too

The air was thick with the smell of damp soil and branches whipped against my skin as I ran.

But I didn't stop or slow down.

Whoever thought it would be a great idea to plant so many trees on personal property?

My legs ached as Iran, but I didn't stop. The sound of twigs snapping under my foot, mixed with the rustling of leaves and the distant shouts coming behind me.

I couldn't afford to stop.

I've tried running away from home before, but gather caught me almost immediately.

I can't relive the torture I went through that day, so I better not get caught

Putting the small knife I stole at the dinner table into my pocket, pushed myself further.

I had no idea where I was running to. I didn't know if I was going the right way or if there was a dead end. I just listened to the voice in my head telling me to keep going.

I could feel stone dig into my bare feet and I gritted my teeth in pain.

Running without shoes was not the best option, but I didn't own any that I could wear.

I've been indoors since I got here, and Silas didn't think it was wise to provide me with suitable shoes.

But then again, he didn't really think I was going to run away,

The voices behind me were getting louder and it was as if they knew exactly where I was and kept following me.

It felt like a game of cat and mouse and right now, I was the mouse.

"Don't think you can run from me,

little one. I heard Silas' voice echo from what seemed to be speakers, and I halted.

Where did that come from?

My eyes darted around the trees desperately, searching for any source of sound. It was dark, but I strained my eyes to see.

A light gasp escaped my lips and I took a step back in shock.

There was a tiny camera and speaker on a tree. I turned only just to find an exact replica of it on another tree.

You wouldn't find it unless you knew what you were searching for

He could see me but I couldn't see him. He knew exactly where I was and yet he hadn't caught me.
