Destiny (Vanish Book Four) (16 page)

I walked forward a little bit. It started
getting harder and harder to breathe. Soon, the wavy air was moving
faster and faster until I could hardly see through it, though that
could have been from the lack of oxygen.

Before I even realized I had fallen to my
knees, I saw a figure, darting through the trees.
No evil can
come here
, I thought to myself, but I didn’t really believe
there was no way around it.

The figure came closer. Whoever it was, they
were thin and wearing a black trench coat. The hood was up, but
that was all I could really make out.

They came closer and closer, until the black
of their trench coat was all I could see. I got up and held my
fists in front of me. Once I was standing, there was nothing around
me but darkness. I heard the click of a lighter, and then standing
there with a candle in her hand, I saw Ann.
