She ran bare foot in the darkness digging her soles into the soft grainy sand.It was pitch black, not even the Moon lit her pathway. Her breath came in short sharp bursts matching her steps. Pebbles now dug into her feet, she altered her position getting her bearings until the softness of sand was under foot again. She knew now she was on the right track.
She needed to run faster for they were behind her.Her feet now were covering the hardened earth as higher and higher she climbed, half running, scrambling over unseen obstacles.
She saw the outline of trees to her left and dived amongst them as the beam of light shone in front of her. The motorcycle with the uniformed rider drove past her hiding place at speed, kicking up the sand and dust in his wake.
She counted to Ten, took another deep breath and set of running again higher and steeper.But she knew she couldn’t stop, for the Wagons were coming.
Her heart beat loudly in her ears as the sweat oozed from every pore. The noise from the wagons now droned behind her, she had to get to the top, and then she knew she would be safe. But as hard as she ran the steeper and harder it became and it slowed her progress.
The searchlight from the lead wagon was switched on, its beam shot a line through the trees behind her. She had to stick to the path for a while longer yet, to detour now into the unknown forest would be fatal.Her limbs ached as her lungs wanted to explode as the pain of running so fast and hard overwhelmed her.She gritted her teeth in her determination as she dug her feet deeper into the moving slope, knowing her feet were bleeding, she focused on her climb as the sand bank slipped beneath her steps.
“ Keep going, keep going” she told herself, until she felt the blast of the ocean breeze hit her face. The wagons of war roared louder behind her.
The Moon surfaced from behind the clouds casting some light upon her path. She was there, right on the edge.. She stopped. Knowing there was no way back.
She looked behind to see the head lights had stopped where the road had ran out.
She knew she could do it.She smiled as the Moon sprinkled .She took a deep breath as she raised her arms skyward as in some ritual.She gave herself the command.
“Fly”
as she launched herself off the cliff face. Falling down as she headed for it..
“ I am coming Home”
were her last thoughts ..
