Chapter 13
KALLIE
Despite the layers Kallie wore, the crisp night air nipped at her cheeks and reddened the tip of her nose.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ellie asked, leading two horses over by the reins.
"Yes," Kallie said, wiping the moisture from her face with her sleeve before grabbing one of the reins.
"Very well," Ellie said, turning away and mounting her horse.
As Kallie took in the horse before her, she shoved her old fear down.
Right now, there was no time to hesitate, no time to fall into the nightmares.
She shoved her foot into the stirrup and hoisted herself up onto the horse’s back.
She shifted atop the saddle and clicked her heels against the horse’s side.
Kallie kept her attention on the shadows ahead and refused to look back despite the ache in her chest.
