At a time like this, everyone was just trying to survive. Besides, Aurora had Everett protecting her, so Dominic wasn't worried about her either.
And really, people were too scared to do anything but run. They just hoped the ones who started shooting wouldn't hit them.
Aurora was too scared to even breathe. Everett had rolled with her to shield her, and her head was aching from the impact. Then Everett yanked her up and said, "Run with me!"
Aurora didn't have time to think. She bent over, grabbed his hand, and ran in the direction he pulled her.
Gunshots rang out again behind them, followed by screams from the crowd.
Aurora was gasping for air, her legs about to give out, but she had no choice but to push herself and keep up with him.
Even a moment's delay could mean getting hurt—or worse.
Everett led her past a row of shops and ducked into a narrow alley.
She didn't know if anyone was chasing them, but Aurora felt like she couldn't run anymore.
