Maeve POV
I was alone.
Surrounded by pitch-black darkness, where all I could see was the empty space before me and all I could feel was a bitter, cold chill prickling my skin like millions of razor-thin needles. I walked… and walked… and walked for what felt like miles, searching for something that always seemed to be just out of reach.
Every step I took, it took one hundred more.
And every time I called out for it, I was plunged into an abyss where I had to fight tooth and nail just to keep on going.
Exhausted and bruised, I was ready to give up my pursuit… when I finally saw it.
A light… there was a light—small but glowing and real—on the far horizon.
Gathering all the strength I could muster, I made a run for it until the distance between us lessened… and lessened.
This was it
