My second was not to get caught. It was dark and I had no idea how close I was to the small town. The cold damp dew of the forest started to soak through my shoes. I hoped I was getting closer. Wanting to get there before dawn I sprinted faster with the thought of seeing my parents again.

Their footsteps sounded closer as they ran.
