They walked for what seemed like an eternity, relying on Kai's ability to run. Obi was certain they would never catch up to the carriage.
"We should go back," Obi said when they were in the middle of the forest. The atmosphere was so tense. He felt goosebumps during the journey.
Kai stopped. He remained silent. Still, he had to obey Obi. If the boy wanted them to go back, then they would go back, even though he still wanted to keep walking.
Obi saw the disappointment on Kai's face and sighed. He didn't know how long it would take them to finally catch up with the train. He thought about John and Grace, who must be worried about them.
But then Obi furrowed his brow when, from the darkness of the forest, he saw someone with a horse-drawn carriage heading toward them.
Obi gasped. He quickly pulled Kai's hand to move out of the way. The sound of the horses grew louder. And the carriage was moving so fast.
