Redhawk Caldera I'll just mix 'em in my drink

Her head was pounding, and her flurry of movement had left her feeling dizzy and unsteady, but those were the only to things that had kept Maia from outright bolting.  She couldn't see him yet in the dark and it made no sense for him to be here.  Where were they?

But when she heard his voice and recognized it, she sagged as if someone had suddenly cut her strings.  Eljay.  Maia wanted to cry with relief, and there was almost a sob in the word.

N..no, he followed me. If he finds us, he was...  Her stomach turned at the thought but she didn't have anything in it to get rid of. Panic was blossoming in her voice again.  What if he chased me, what if... Eljay, you have to run, you can't.  

He hadn't been all that big, but the thought of him going after Eljay the way he'd gone after her was too much.  And what if Weejay was here?  She started to shake.  Maia hated the thought of him leaving her, but she couldn't even fully stand right now.
