"How do you run so fast?!" I scream at Ilva, my muscles aching from running so fast.
"I stay focused!" She shouts back.
I sigh. We've been running for about half an hour and my lungs feel like they've been punctured. The entire army are on our heels, and Ilva is smiling. She enjoys this.
Eventually Ilva looks behind her, sees me struggling for breath and huffs, impatiently. She reaches for two pistols and hands one to me.
"Shoot the horses and I'll shoot the riders!" She shouts over the noise of hooves in mud and gun shots and aims at the nearest rider to her.
I have no choice. They're almost on top of us.
I seriously injure six horses and think we're getting away when a man lands a punch from behind. Without thinking, I shoot and watch the blood pour out from his temple.
The world stops.
But then Ilva is pulling me up and we carry on running, but this time the army aren't coming after us.
They are afraid.
