Quintessa became highly conspicuous on the main road, so she continually veered into narrow alleys by the roadside. The footsteps behind her grew increasingly nearer. She dared not look back, fearing that a single glance would confront her with the menacing dangers poised to engulf her.
Quintessa’s body was almost beyond her control, moving forward purely on instinctual human survival impulses. Her bare feet were chafed raw by the uneven ground, the constant pain jabbing at Quintessa but keeping her just conscious enough to press on.

Avoice inside Quintessa screamed-Oh, crap! Asplit second later, a crisp slap sounded.
Struck by the slap, Quintessa immediately tasted blood, her head spun more dizzyingly as the world turned upside down, making the figure before her completely indistinct.
