Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty One 

A rock fell inches away from me, and I only managed to dodge it. Axel was losing a lot of blood. I knew what was about to happen, but I didn’t want to think about it. It just couldn’t. 

“Riley, please listen to me.” he said, and I turned to him; sweat coated his face and his breathing was laboured. “I can’t make it, Riley. You know that, but if you go, you can save yourself and save Thane.”
