Victor Shadows: gripping your arm Run away with me! Now or never!
a couple hours later are we there yet? my voice is tired and scared
leans back in his seat, thinking for a moment We're close. Just a little further.
spots a secluded cabin in the distance There it is, our new hideout. Let's go, but stay quiet. We don't want anyone following us.
quickly unlocks the door and steps inside, checking the surroundings All clear for now. Quickly, grab the bags and settle in.
I drop the bags and sit down on one of the couches
whispers urgently Stay alert. We can't let our guard down just yet.
paces around the cabin, checking the windows and doors We need to secure this place. I'll check the perimeter and see if there are any signs of life nearby.
I look outside the window
returns to the cabin after surveying the surroundings There doesn't seem to be anyone around, but we still need to be cautious.
takes out a map and spreads it out on the table We need to come up with a plan for our new lives here.
points to different areas on the map We could start by scouting for food and water. See if there are any nearby farms or a source of fresh water.
stands up and grabs his backpack Alright, I'll head out to scout the area. Stay here and keep an eye out for anything unusual.
I walk to the window and look out
While GravitySmarter is looking out the window, a group of armed men approaches the cabin
rushes back into the cabin, weapon drawn Get down! Stay quiet! There's too many of them. We need to find another way out.
we try to sneak out through the back door but they catch us
grabs GravitySmarter's hand and pulls out a hidden knife Stay close to me. We're going to make a run for it. On my mark, we sprint towards the forest. Ready?
gives a quick nod Run! tugs GravitySmarter's hand and they sprint towards the forest, dodging bullets and running as fast as they can Keep low and stay behind me!
we keep running until we reach a cliff
panting heavily, looks back to see if they're still being followed Damn it, they're persistent. We need to find another way down.
narrows his eyes, assessing the height of the cliff It's a long drop, but it's our best option. Are you ready?
takes a deep breath Alright, GravitySmarter. When I say go, we jump. Together. Got it?
grabs GravitySmarter's hand tightly Go! they both jump off the cliff, free-falling through the air Hold on tight!
the fall lasts for a few minutes before we land on the ground
quickly picks himself up and dusts off his clothes We need to get moving before they catch up. Can you walk?
puts his arm around GravitySmarter's shoulder Lean on me. We'll rest once we're safe. For now, let's keep pushing forward.
we walk all night until we reach some ruins
pauses and looks around the ruins This might be a good place to hide for the night. Let's find a spot to set up camp.
scans the area, searching for a safe place to set up camp Look for dense bushes or trees to conceal our campsite.
I find some and point them out to Victor
nods in agreement Good spot. Let's gather some branches and leaves to create a camouflage barrier.
