Chapter 35

==Summery==
After carrying Astrid to the Rhine River, Marcus says that they will take a dip to erase their trail. She remarks that they will die, and he jumps in to prove he is strong enough to resist the ragging current, after which she remarks that he is far stronger than should be possible for a Changer at his stage of transformation. After explaining his plan, she holds on to him tightly, and he tried a ivy vine around them, and threw his spear to the other side of the river, before jumping back in the water. He swam underwater to prevent them from being seen by observers, and adjusted their direction many times to avoid predators in the water. After feeling Astrid's grip weaken, he returned to shore, and began running towards his camp, pausing briefly in a secluded alcove to let her rest. With all the dirt and blood washed away, and her clothes left torn and transparent from the water, he found her extremely beautiful, and resisted his instinctual urge to have sex with her. He then continued to carry her to their camp.
