Kade loped across the earth, moving at speeds nearly impossible for a regular human. He was sure he was easily outpacing any pursuers, with the combined speed of a leopard and the stamina of a human. He checked over his shoulder, making sure that Chorale's unconscious form was still there. If Concerto hadn't demanded that he bring her in alive, she'd be a corpse left for the vultures. Now, where was Concerto? He scanned the area in front of him.
There.
Kade walked up to the hidden entrance of the cave, clearing vines and debris from his path.
He dropped Chorale on the cold stone floor of the cave, making no effort to be gentle.
He glowered at her, then stalked off to find Concerto.
