The moon was up past the trees. Andrea could feel her heart racing. The grass beneath her feet became a blur. She fled past trees and rocks, somehow always knowing just where to step.
The fog was heavy and it was almost impossible to see far ahead. Andrea, though, had no problem. Her eyes could pierce through the thickest fog. The fog was like water and she was a fish swimming through it.
The men in their junk suits were following her. They had a small little cart that they dashed in and it always amazed Andrea that they kept themselves so bound. Unlike them Andrea was free and with her freedom, she leapt around a couple more rocks then skidded to a hault. She saw the cliff and the river down below. She knew that just beyond that cliff, at a certain spot that she knew, was a little ledge just big enough for a person. She ran to that.
The men in their junk suits and their little motorized car came up to the cliff after what seemed like forever. They stopped. They got out of their little car and looked around. One of them peered over the edge not far from where Andrea was hiding.
Without warning, like a wildcat protecting her cubs, Andrea leapt up from the ledge, quickly stepped up to the man and quietly pushed him over. The man probably screamed, but Andrea didn't hear him in his junk suit. She knew the other man would though.
Again Andrea ran. For a second she thought that maybe she should have done something with the car, but decided that running was after all the best option. These defilers with their toy technologies and their ships that traveled the stars were desecrating this planet. Andrea wanted no part in that.
