Had her family known the same terror in their last moments of life?

The car rocked slightly with a gust of wind.

Its course down the cliff was marked by the cracking of limbs.

She counted the seconds in tense silence, waiting for the sound of an explosion, but the only sound was a car approaching from below.

Her knees were trembling as if they were going to give way at any moment, and her face felt devoid of blood.

Tired of her whining, he gave her an exasperated look.

The grass had been mown short for about five feet on either side of the narrow drive, and a tangle of underbrush and trees lay beyond... freedom, or a barrier?

She felt dizzy from breathing off the top of her lungs.

A patch of blue cement suggested a swimming pool might also inhabit the estate.

The words of formality trailed off as she stared at the room.

A huge marble fireplace dominated the large family room, its image reflected on the shiny expanse of hardwood floor.

The furnishings were of a dark wood, possibly cherry, with hand carved designs.

Lisa felt an immediate bond with the slender mother of her rescuer.

The little girl was adorable in a Shirley Temple kind of way.

Of course - it's too soon.

Was loneliness the culprit of her decision to spend the night?

The room lit up with a bright flash of lightening, and thunder rattled the windowpane.

At this point the loss of her car was more an inconvenience than anything else.

Directing Connie to the house would be difficult, but Lisa could wait at the end of the drive.

She slid into the chair across from Tammy, and Sarah sat down at the other end of the table.

And yet, its little engine hummed along with a surprising lack of noise.

Giddon swung his arm out and pointed to a patch of flowers.

Such an unlikely spot for a home site, and yet, the remains of a chimney gave indisputable proof that one had existed at some point.

Far from the grouchy expression he had put on at the beginning of the ride, now his eyes flashed with humor, and his lips were twisted in a friendly smile.

But then so was the scream of a mountain lion, and she had never seen one of those, either.

Like an Avon notice on a doorknob, the tracks in the mud were proof of an unobserved visit.

After what seemed like hours of traveling down trails that were little more than rockslides, Giddon stopped the ATV and shut off the engine.

She glanced around for some kind of weapon as they walked, and soon came up with a walking stick.

She regarded his broad back skeptically, instantly reminded of her father.

It took them another thirty minutes or so to find the burned out shell of the car.

The stored tears continued to flow and the sobs wracked her body, robbing it of the ability to speak – barely allowing a breath to be drawn.

Even so, it was as if a something had been lifted from her chest, allowing the flow of oxygen and blood to a starving brain.

It wasn't enough, but it was all she felt capable of at the moment.

She hurried after him, glancing nervously at the jumble of rocks and trees.

Exhaustion left her feeling cold and weak, which was probably why her foot slipped on the edge of a rock.

Her ankle twisted painfully, forcing a quick cry of pain from her lips.

His broad shoulders swayed with the swing of his stride.

Better would be a long time coming, but she felt more in control of her emotions.

She turned her face away, twisting free of his arms.

How could he take advantage of her that way?

Maybe he wouldn't bite, but he'd certainly take advantage of her.

He started the engine and she clamped her arms around him, clinging to him as he spun the tires in a spray of pebbles and rocks.

Of course she couldn't go with him.

Lisa did the best she could to draw a map on the small piece of paper.

Thick dark lashes and a deep tan intensified the blue of his eyes, and his freshly shaven face had attractive angles.

Has your mother always taken care of Tammy?

With every second, they were getting farther from the safety of civilization.
