Angel's POV
"I guess I'll just have to trust you on this." I replied, sealing my fate and handing my life over to Lyra.
Lyra nodded. "Stay close to me, stay low, and don't make noise." She glanced up at the pale noon sky. "The afternoon light works in our favour. The shadows will be thin but there's enough ground cover if we use it properly." She gestured left, away from the road. "We take the bushes. Not the road."
"The bushes," I repeated.
"The bushes," she confirmed, already moving.
I followed.

We didn't know how much time passed, but we kept walking. Following the bush path.
