Caden ran down the road, glancing back at his fathers men. God they were fast. He snapped his head forward as someone grabbed his leg and pulled him down, sliding for a few seconds before coming to a stop, already being pulled up by rough hands. |
|  |
|
| |
|
Rose kept running, the freezing clod biting at her face land legs |
|  |
|
| |
|
"No," He shouted, Figting against their hold. "Please," Caden said, being dragged back to the house. |
| |
|
| |
|
Rose kept running until her legs were numb and just moved on their own |
| |
|
| |
|
Caden escaped their grasp, sprinting into the woods, tears streaking down his face, bare skin cold. After a while of running he stopped and sank to his knees, his body sore. |
| |
|
| |
|
Rose didn't know where she was going and who was dangerous, just slowing to a walk |
| |
|
| |
|
Caden propped himself up against a tree and just sobbed, his body wracking as he did. He wasn't the quietest but wasn't the loudest, just wanting to curl up and shut his eyes forever. |
| |
|
| |
|
Rose wanted so badly to go back to the house and find Caden but resisted, not wanting either of them hurt |
| |
|
| |
|
Caden eventually calmed himself and stood, stumbling through the wood, shivering from lack of protection against the cold. "Rose?" He croaked every so often, giving up eventually. |
| |
|
| |
|
Rose made her way into the woods, alert to every sound she heard. |
| |

Steady Rain all Day
