He was after me in a heartbeat of course - but even restricted like this I was faster than he was. I was into the woods before he'd even had a prayer of catching up. I thought of phasing but lacked the control with my emotions dominating me so completely. I settled for two legs as Jacob was calling out to me, asking me to wait. I pushed harder. He fell further behind, still trying to get me to stop. When I did it was a harsh thing, abrupt, causing me almost to skid against the damp forest floor. I'd reached the end of the line. The edge of the cliff side. An aggressive ocean pushed against the bottom of the rocky shore. I calculated the jump; it wouldn't kill me but I'd have definitely been asking for it. Jacob cursed, "God dammit Trinity don't you dare jump. I meant it when I said until death do us part. Do us - and I will follow your crazy ass over."
