Chapter 697
The narrow escape
The area was a dump yard of old cars, a sprawling graveyard of rusted metal and broken dreams. Buses, trucks, and countless cars were scattered haphazardly, their paint faded and peeling, their windows shattered and empty. The bushes grew thick and wild, shrouding the entire place in a cloak of neglect and abandonment.
Ella hid behind the dump vehicles as she moved forward, her heart pounding in her chest. She had no idea where she was headed, but she knew she had to get away from the men who had taken her captive. She had to find help, had to find a way out of this nightmare.
Her anxious gaze darted frenetically from side to side as she sprinted through the discarded remnants of vehicles. She crossed the dump yard and entered the woods. The jungle grew thicker as she moved further, the setting sun casting eerie shadows of the tall trees onto the forest floor.
