Danger avoided.

The sun was beginning to set on the horizon as Amanda made her way to Bree, Bailey following along side her, Amanda spoke to herself, ''It's been twenty-three days... Worst days of my life...'' her hand went down to stroke Bailey's head gently as she walked down the cobblestone path, her gaze on the stones, she stopped and looked around quietly as she heard what sounded like hushed whispering coming from the tree nearby, hesitantly calling out, ''Is someone there?'' and just like that it stopped, as fast as it began, she felt eyes on her and reached down to hold onto Bailey's collar tight, Bailey began to growl while facing the forest, Ama spoke lowly, ''What is it, Bail...'' Bailey began to step closer to Ama and in front of her feet, Ama slowly reached for her pack on her back, pulling her dagger out as she pulled her bag off one shoulder to reach it, fixing her bag and holding her dagger in her hand, watching the forest as the whispering began to continue once more, Amanda called out, ''Whoever's there... I know how to use a dagger! My father taught me!'' The whispering began to get closer and closer, Amanda took a step or two back before she bumped into something or someone, hearing and feeling the breath on her neck, she held her dagger tight, looking to Bailey, wondering why she wasn't barking at whoever was there, she slowly turned, freezing as she saw who it was, someone she recognized, the person pushed her behind themselves, looking to her, ''Run.'' and with that Amanda took off running back toward Bree, Bailey with her.
