"Hurry up!" A voice filled with urgency announced with an erratic breathing.
The thick forest sprawled before them, a tapestry of towering trees and tangled undergrowth.
Rays of sunlight struggled to penetrate the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. In the heart of this green sanctuary, a group of people, predominantly women, moved with a sense of urgency, their steps quick and wary.
Their faces etched with fear and determination, the group navigated the forest's labyrinthine trails, branches and foliage brushing against their skin.
Their eyes darted back and forth, searching for any signs of pursuit, their gazes haunted by the lingering threat that lurked behind.
Each woman wore a mix of trepidation and resilience, their clothing bearing traces of the journey's hardships.
They moved in unison, a collective will propelling them toward a particular destination that promised sanctuary and safety.
