||book 3 of the akotw trilogy|| Running. Running seems to be the only thing that has been consistent in Channing's life for the past ten years. Hiding. Hiding is the only action that has ever been able to offer her comfort and assurance. Even when her life took a turn for the better, it was only a matter of time before she had a reason to start running again. Running right back into the arms of danger- a reason to start hiding from the people who loved her. The thing is, she didn't realize Niall would be right behind her, willing to disappear into nothing... willing to leave it all behind, for her.

Was it her beauty that reeled me in? The mysterious, deep, color her eyes contained? Or her addictive smile, smell, or even her personality? It was none of these things. The reason she's too afraid and too sad to even talk is what made her even more mysterious and captivating to me. Not talking for six years as a side affect from a tragic accident is what I learned had caused it; her sister and mothers death traumatized her. And my goal is to help her break free, to help her gain the courage to live her life to the fullest. To speak to me.
