voice trembling Mom, I'm scared. What if they're the reason I was left alone in the woods? What if they're dangerous?
BubblegumThunder
sweetie, it’s likely they are no longer there, considering we’ve been out here a while and haven’t ran into them yet, right?
Persephone

nodding slowly You're right, Mom. I guess I shouldn't jump to conclusions. But still, it's hard not to worry.
