Fuck.

I leaned against a tree as I tried to catch my breath.

Glancing over to the left and right, I don’t see anything.

Or anyone.

Wow.

That was incredibly embarrassing.

“Raven, what the fuck.” I whispered to myself into the dark abyss.

I leaned forward on my knees just to gather myself.

After a moment or two, I decide I need to find the carnival again so I could get out of here.

Just as I raised my head, a twig snapped nearby.

My body stopped moving.

My breathing turned silent.

Now thinking about it, there could be other people here.

If I found it, and I just seen Willow and her…….whatever the fuck that was, that means there could be other people here.

Backing into the tree, I stand still and tried not to move.

Silence.

Nothing.

Maybe it was an animal.

“You’re being crazy Raven. He didn’t come after you.” I say to myself.

I needed to move.

Just as I step away from the tree, a hand comes clamping down on my mouth from behind.

My instincts kick in, and I start to thrash around.

That was until I hear a low, “Shh.”

My body vibrates like a violin he just strummed.

My masked man.

My body instantly relaxes.

Until, I realize that I was angry.

I go to move out of his hold before I’m yanked back into his hard body.

His other hand comes around to rest on my lower stomach.

My belly fluttered with excitement.
