[~echo~]

Cyran leaned thankfully on her shoulder, giving a weak smile. His legs were very thin. Peter led the way out a secret entrance and into the market where he paid a carriage driver to take them to the border. "Are you sure? It'll be about a two day drive," the cab driver warned. Peter nodded impatiently and ushered Mira and Cyran into the carriage. Instead of climbing in himself, he closed the door and sat beside the driver, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

She helped him walk, letting him rest all of what little weight he had on her even though she was weak as well she helped him up into the carriage and was about to say something when Peter closed the door. She let out a soft whimper and curled up on one side of the booth, falling swiftly into a deep sleep.

[~echo~]

Soon, they were on the road and away from the city.

[Етеяиiту]

She awoke in a sweaty fright, her nightmares causing her to jolt into awakening.

[~echo~]

Cyran gazed at her. "What is wrong, friend?"

[Етеяиiту]

She looked over at him and shook her head before curling into a ball in the corner.

[~echo~]

He looked concerned and touched her shoulder.

[Етеяиiту]

She flinched slightly, her memories scaring her.

[~echo~]

"Spea with me eef you need to."

[Етеяиiту]

She shook her head,"remembering not so good times"

[~echo~]

Cyran nodded. "I... understand."

[Етеяиiту]

She curled up tighter and then suddenly felt the. Carriage jerk to a stop. Sending her arms out to catch her.

[~echo~]

Peter looked at the carriage driver. "Why have you stopped?"

[Етеяиiту]

He gazed right and left,"there is an ominous presence, the horses can feel it"

[~echo~]

Peter drew his sword and looked around.

[Етеяиiту]

She looked over at Cyran,"whats going on?"

The driver heard low growls behind them and whipped the horses to take off sending the passengers flying around in the caboose.

[~echo~]

Peter cursed and then sheathed his sword. Cyran bounced around but managed to grab onto to something and stay still enough.

[Етеяиiту]

She yelped and grabbed ahold of the cushions and dug her nails in like a cat.

[~echo~]

Cyran looked out the back window and saw --.

[Етеяиiту]

She whimpered slightly at the sudden movements but soon it came to an end as they made it out of the forest.
