**Chapter 6** **Peter** ** ** _What the hell did I just see?_ _ _ Never had I ever seen such brutality before in my life as I did inside that shop. _The rapists were one thing, but this? This was a slaughter!_ And the men who had their throats cut...
Perilous Jaunt 5

Perilous Jaunt Chapter 3
**Chapter 3** ** ** **Dante** "I know what you are," Peter said, ominously. We had traveled at least seven miles that day. After leaving behind the dead rapists, I made sure to not travel in a straight line and even walked down a river for...
