Chapter 39 - Not Your Prisoner

(CORRINE)

I'm running in the forest. The monsters are chasing me. I can see the Veil, but I'm too far away. And the monsters are gaining on me.

I hear Finn shouting my name. I have to hurry to get to him.

I feel a burning sensation on my back before I smell the hot, wet scent of my blood in the air.

I'm falling.

I can barely walk, crawling now. I have to get to my baby. I have to protect him.

But I'm surrounded. They're approaching me now, vicious-looking monsters with terrifying faces and teeth so sharp.

"Mom!"

I can barely move. "Mama, help!"

The terror in my son's voice has me jolting upright, my eyes flying open. "Finn!"

A wave of dizziness hit me, and I would have slumped back down had someone not caught me. "Easy."

I'm lowered to the bed, and I look around with a pounding heart. I'm not in the Misty Forest. I'm home. I'm in my house, in my bed.
