the highway won't dry your tears
The sound comes low at first—skitter-soft, like wind through dry reeds or bones clicking in a shallow grave. Vesper’s head snaps up just as Colt takes the hat from between his teeth. His ears spear forward, his whole body going rigid beneath her in an instant. Muscles tighten beneath her thighs,as his nostrils flare, catching the scent of something too wrong, too void-touched, too other.
That’s all the warning she gets. A second later, the desert explodes beneath them as Vesper bolts.
It’s not a clever retreat or a measured escape. It’s flight in its purest form—raw, blistering, a full-bodied sprint that eats up the sand like death itself is at his heels. He doesn't think. Doesn’t reason. The prey-animal instinct lances through him like lightning, overriding even his human self, even the telepathic calm he usually wraps around panic like gauze.
They streak across the cracked wasteland, weaving between sulphur pools and boiling danger. Behind them, the air pulses violet as void-riddled spiderwebs shimmer in the wind, steel-strong and twisted with corruption.
