AT THE SAME TIME:

WANESSA'S POINT OF VIEW:

The air grows thick around me as the figures step from the shadows. I don't need to look at the others to know they feel it too. The change in the atmosphere, the sudden tension that hangs heavy in the night like a storm cloud waiting to burst. I can hear the woman before I even see her properly her voice soft, lilting, almost comforting. It's the kind of voice that can lull someone into a sense of security, but I don't trust it. Not for a second. People don't just show up in the middle of nowhere with that kind of offer unless they're hiding something.

You shouldn't be traveling these woods. They're full of…" She pauses, almost too theatrically, her smile widening a little too much." Creatures that are not so easily dealt with."
