October finally stopped at a thicket gasping for air. She was sweating so much that her hair stuck to her smooth face that was as pale as a ghost. She wiped it with her hand and sat down, totally exhausted.
'I've run so much. I don't think I can run anymore without getting caught.'
After thinking that, October took a deep deep breath but she did not let her guard down. She could not even make the smallest mistake for it will cost her so much.
Silently taking shaky breaths, she slid down slowly and crawled under some bushes. All this time, her hand was on her belly as out of habit or instinct. She piqued her ears for any sounds and eyes wandering around for any strange movement around her.
October squatted in a position where it was easy to get up and bolt out running in case something happened. She began giving her aching legs a massage. She waited and waited, praying that those kidnappers would not come.
However!
A shout came.
