Either Evaline was slow, or this woman was crazy fast. Possibly a bit of both. Still, when the woman veered off and started to head towards a cliff while beckoning for her to follow, she thought she was insane. Why on earth was she heading towards a cliff?
Even if Evaline didn't make it in time, she knew that she would be okay. But if she had an option to stay alive naturally, she would much rather than that route. It seemed that the stampede was running at a faster rate than she was, and she knew it was a matter of time before they would catch up to her before she reached the mountain.
The cliff, however, was closer. And the woman seemed to have some semblance of a plan since she refused to believe that she was stupid enough to run there only to get trapped. If this was the case, then Evaline had no one else to blame but herself.
Because she followed the woman, running towards the cliff as fast as she could. She watched as the woman got there first and seemed to trapeze her way up like a strong, agile animal, and then she reached her hand down for her to grab.
Evaline glanced back again. The horned rhino-like creatures were getting closer now, and she could make out their fierce empty eyes staring right at her.
Panicking, Evaline gave the sprint all her energy, reaching out with one hand to grab the woman's hand, but seeing that she was too tall, even for her. Knowing she was maybe thirty seconds away from her doom, Evaline jumped to reach for her.
