Pain shot down her arm as her shoulder slammed against the packed earth. There was no warehouse in this Other Earth. Her first visit here had been when she was a child, long before she’d ever heard phrases like ‘parallel universe’ or ‘alternate reality,’ so it had always been Other Earth to her.
Sweat dripped from her brow as she struggled into a sitting position. Moving quickly, she began to pull at the ropes on her wrists with her teeth. It was only a matter of time before he accidentally fell through one of the portals. She could only hope that he’d fall through one on the far side of the warehouse. If she didn’t get to them before he did… No. She couldn’t think like that.
Finally freeing her hands, she began to work on her ankles, wincing as she accidentally pressed the fresh cuts on her bare feet.
She began to stand almost before she’d completely unbound her ankles, breaking into a sprint, hoping she could get to the cabin in time. She’d have to move them now, somewhere far away. Somewhere away from the portals. It was their only chance.
