The wolf hunched down even lower, so that his chest was against the grass. And then without warning, he sped off. He was as fast as a vampire. As fast as Alice now. If now faster. He raced across the field, so that his paws were pounding into the grass, propelling them off on an adventure.
He ran past the lake, even daring to run through the edge of it and splashing some water around. Then he took off for the valleys and the hills. It would take hours for a person to walk there. But they would be there in no time. He wanted to take Avalee away from the sites that were so familiar to her. He wanted her to see something different. Exciting. Beautiful.
And then they came to a halt. Right at the edge of a cliff. Seth transformed, while Avalee was still on his back, and was on the ground, breathing hard. No matter how much he ran, when he put that much strength into his sprint, it tired him out quickly.
