Running. That's all Sparrow Edevane knew. He was constantly running. There was no time for rest, no time to spare. Adrenaline rushed through his veins and blurred his surroundings, all sound muffled. Hooves like thunder and the clash of iron fueled his drive to escape. Arrows whistled through the air, and some narrowly missed him. The Carnage Queen was out for blood and he was the only one who could satisfy it, he was her prize after a failed extinction.
With a bounty on his head and the threat of extinction closing in, he faces almost certain death. A flightless bird trapped in a bloody storm; safety lies beyond the labyrinth city's walls.
Will Sparrow make it to the eye of the storm, or will death snap it's cruel jaws around his heart before he gets the chance to escape?

Gangsters Paradise
A harsh grip took hold of my shoulder, the fingernails sinking into my tender skin. 'Sorry princess, tag is over. I've got you now,' Tora's brown eyes bored into mine. Swiftly, he pointed a pistol at the side of my head. 'I've just filled this new bad boy with bullets,' he whispered so closely in my ear that I felt his hot breath on my cheeks. 'Let's see if this gun can work, shall we?' His finger was on the pistol trigger and he looked ready to kill me. But with the boosted confidence I had, I wasn't ready to die. 'Damn you....' I whispered breathlessly. 'I won't die as long as you're alive.' 'What are you ranting about?' growled Tora. 'I'll let you know!' I screamed, spinning around so quickly that I felt dizzy.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
