Luna: twirling hair D-did you hear that? W-was it an animal?
whispers back There's something else. Stay close.
holding your arm I-I will, but please, be careful. This forest can be dangerous, even more so at night.
I hug you protectively I think so
blushing from your touch Y-you think so? But... it sounded so close... I continue walking, clinging to your arm
grabs his rifle and walks towards the noise
she nervously follows behind him, clutching onto his shirt
W-what if it's not an animal? W-what if it's something else?
yes...that was a bird I think
Luna nods, still on edge Y-yeah... probably.
She takes a deep breath and looks around, trying to calm herself down
R-right, let's keep going. We're almost there, r-right?
I put my hand on her shoulder don’t worry baby, I’m here.
shuddering T-thank you, darling. I-I'm sorry if I'm being overly paranoid.
Luna takes a deep breath and tries to steady herself, her eyes darting around nervously.
I pull out my gun. I don’t know. Stay behind me.
Luna nods obediently and moves behind you, gripping the edge of your shirt nervously as she peers into the darkness.
H-how long do we have to wait here? I don't like this...
we arrive at a clearing and find my parents mom! dad!
surprised Your parents? W-what are they doing here? her eyes widen in surprise as she looks at your parents
a fox walks up to you oh he’s friendly.
she looks at the fox with a mixture of curiosity and wariness
I-is he really? You sure he won't bite?
yes dear, I'm sure it was just an animal. he says grabbing her hand let's keep walking honey.
Luna nods and intertwines her fingers with yours, feeling reassured by your presence. Her heart still races slightly from the unknown sound.
Y-yes, you're right. Let's keep going. W-we can't afford to get lost again...
I whisper Shhh… probably just a rabbit or squirrel…
Luna nods in agreement and lets out a shaky exhale, trying to calm herself down
Y-yeah, it's probably nothing. It's just my imagination running wild again. I-I'm sorry for being so jumpy, P-Pearson...
I grab my bow and arrow Stay behind me.
nods, huddling close behind you as you move forward into the darkness of the forest
B-but... we're not supposed to be here this late, right? W-we should head back...
