Terra looked at him noticing the strain to his features. She knew how hard this was for him and the pain she was feeling was nothing in comparison. She stopped and moved in front of him so that she could hoist him on her back. She pulled his arms over her shoulders.

"I'll carry you." She wasn't giving him a choice.

Once he was in position, she ran. She used the pitter-patter of the rain to hide her footsteps as she splashed towards their safe haven. Her breath fell heavily from her lips and she didn't look behind her to see if the soldiers would stop and turn. Her heart was lodged in her throat as she forced herself to move forward.

She would stop until they were safe.
