PROLOGUE

Eve couldn't breathe. She felt as though she had been running for miles but the garden could only be so big. Adam was ahead of her, calling for her, it was coming and it was gaining on them. Eve tripped on a fallen tree branch and called out for Adam to slow down, but he was out of her sight. Many yards ahead, Adam had stopped for air in a shallow ditch. His chest burned; he gargled up saliva trying to breathe. As he looked down at himself he suddenly became aware that blood was smeared across his legs, the substance stung, and Eve... he turned slightly, but her slim figure wasn't coming.

"Where are you?" she gasped out her words as she wiped away her tears, her eyes still searching for Adam. She never felt like this before.

Adam heard Eve call out in the distance. He tried to respond, but his voice was hoarse and weak. He had never lost his strength before.
