Rachel POV

What- What was that?
I slowly stand up but my legs feel like pudding. Touching my forehead, I wonder if I'm having a fever but that can't be.

"Ha ha, no it's just really, REALLY hot here." I start talking to myself while I fan out some air into my face. "Right, this bridge-demon-heaven-whatever thingy must just be a constant summer or something."

Haha, I should look for food.

While looking through the forest, I find myself lost, well, obviously. Maaaaaaaan why did we have to split up.
Then I discover a berry bush. So I start shoving them into my t-shirt like I did when I was a kid... I don't have any basket or something ok.

"Did you find anything?" I turn around and Coven appears out of the bushes. I show him the berries.
"Uhm, are these edible?"
"I don't know! ^^"
He looks at me like my head just started spinning.
"Then how do we know that they're not gonna kill us?"

Mhhh what do I answer now? I just thought they looked tasty, purple and as big as a strawberry.
"Well I just figured these were some magical version of strawberries... you know, since we're in the.... uh... they called it a bridge right?"
He slaps his hand against his forehead.

Then we hear a scream from far away, a really high pitched, almost squeaky scream.
After running to the direction, we find Lilith laying on the ground next to a berry bush. One purple berry still laying in the palm of her hand.
