The trunk, the branches, the leaves, all of them were burning. Evangeline ran hard and fast. She told herself not to turn around. But where was Jacks? Why wasn’t he following her? The smoke was growing thicker, the flames were burning hotter. She paused just for a second. She turned to look. “Jacks!” There was so much smoke. “Jacks!” She started to run back.
