Chapter 107 - 107 - stole my life

107

~Lira's POV

I kept running until my legs felt like they were going to give up on me. My chest burned, my breath came in sharp, painful gasps, and the world around me blurred like I was underwater. I didn't know how long I ran for. It could have been minutes or hours. All I knew was that I needed to get away. I needed space to breathe, to think.

When I finally reached a tunnel, dark and quiet and half-forgotten by the world, I ducked inside and pressed my back against the cold concrete wall. The air felt damp, like old secrets were trapped there. I slid down until I was sitting on the ground, hugging my knees, trying to catch my breath.

My body was shaking. Not just from running. From fear. From rage. From everything piling up inside me like it had no place else to go.

"I escaped," I whispered to myself. "I actually escaped."

It didn't feel like victory. It felt like surviving the first hit in a fight that wasn't close to finished.
