Allyson Bluestone; a young woman that is det...
A boy managed to sneak up into the trails by himself. Raising his flashlight, he continues in his direction. Breath panting and eyes blinking-he's determined to find his missing dad.
...
Meanwhile, back at Allyson~
She spotted movements from the swaying leaves. They are here. Some are hiding, observing them from afar, their masks tilting in unison. Adorned with a purple cloak and an eye symbol with lines etched in masquerade.
"Phantoms," Allyson whispered. She could feel the tension of their menacing stares digging into their temporary safe haven.

They began circling around them, hiding between the shadows of the tree, like a predator observing their prey.
"Guess there's no time for drama," Kleid stiffens, planning to engaged in a fight with the Phantoms; his hand transforms into a beast. Apparently, Allyson heard his comment and was offended.
"Excuse me?"

A Phantom sneaks up behind her, grabbing her shoulder as a surprise. Kleid noticed this and got surprised as well when Allyson touched the man's hand in a frantic manner-he vanished instantly.
"A peculiar?" A Phantom spoke.
"Some kind of teleportation?" another Phantom asked himself.
"Alright, enough talking," Kleid and Chills sprinted at them. He and his wolf began rushing straight at the Phantoms, one by one. Chills bit their legs, wounding them enough to trip. Phantoms averted their attention to Kleid and the wolf; they began pulling out blades as retaliation.
Allyson counted them and confirmed there are more than 10.
(We're outnumbered), Allyson thought to herself.
Kleid didn't mind the number of enemies. He swiftly attacked one after another. He makes use of the trees like an obstacle course, climbing to the top or tricking them with the use of the leaves. He reaches their limbs and dislocates one or two. He also used his claws, giving the other men a shallow slash at their chest.
