Round Robin 1.3: The Saga Continues Again
3)

Alston followed as quickly as he could, darting over roots, and through low branches. But Nala was far too fast for him. He kept losing her through the brush. He was worried what she might do if she reached the village before he did. She seemed to have little concern for life.

His thoughts kept returning to her standing over Hallah with the dagger in her hand. It's possible that if he hadn't stopped her, Nala would have killed her. His blood had run cold with fear. Hallah couldn't even be considered a friend, but he had to keep her safe. He wouldn't considered himself a man if he couldn't. But Nala had said that Hallah was marked for death. What had she meant?

Something else bothered him too. Nala had said that humans would soon be extinct. She knew something that he did not. If he knew, he might be able to prevent whatever Nala foresaw. He didn't know how, but it was worth a shot. He had to ask her some questions if she ever decided to stop to rest.

How many innocent lives has that woman taken anyway? Alston wasn't sure he wanted to know.
