The two begin to walk in the woods. As Theodore looks around, he spots something in the distance that takes his attention.

T: Eleanor! Do you see that?

Theodore says, as he points towards it. Eleanor turns her head to see what Theodore means and spots what he was referring to.

E: (Giggly)What is it, Theodore? I don't see anything.

T: Oversized mushrooms! We can gather them and bring them back for the group to eat.

Theodore says, with a smile on his face.

E: How exciting!

Eleanor responds, before walking along the side of Theodore, as the two continue along the trail, approaching the mushrooms.

E: (Bouncy in the excitement) Wow! Are these safe to eat?

T: I'll be sure to do some research on them to make sure they are safe for consumption before we share any. Don't want to get anyone sick, now do we?

Theodore says, with a laugh. Suddenly, Theodore stops in his tracks and points out something in the distance again.

T: Eleanor, look! (Theo says, while pointing.)

E: What do you see now!? (Looking in the direction Theodore indicated)

T: A rabbit! I've never seen one up close before. (Theodore whispers to Eleanor. )...Should we get a little closer for a better look? He asks Eleanor.

E: Yeah! I wanna get a closer look as well. (Eleanor responds, excitedly. )

Without hesitation, the two begin moving towards the rabbit, careful not to make any noise or sudden movement, as the rabbit's ears prick up and its head turns slightly towards the two. However, no further movement from the rabbit is made, and the two are able to successfully approach the rabbit slowly and capture it.

E: (Whispering) Theodore... I hear something...

Eleanor points to the left, where the sounds of crunching leaves, faint breaths, and the occasional twig snapping are heard

T: I hear it too. Something or someone is out there.
Theodore says, as he puts his hand out in caution, trying to stop Eleanor from moving any closer.

E: Wait. What should we do? Eleanor asks.

E: (Whispers) Maybe it's another rabbit!?

More audible crunching

Another twig snaps

Something or someone is getting close.

T: It's not a chipmunk.

(Theodore says in a low tone, before quietly turning back to Eleanor, with a look on his face that says, )

T: we need to be cautious.

The sound of cracking branches and footsteps come closer. The two hold their breaths, quietly.

E: (Gasp) Theodore... I think... I think it's...

A large, shadowy figure stands nearby, watching them.

Crunching
More leaves are stepped on.

E: (Panicked and in a panic) Okay, okay!

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.


A twig snaps under the shadowy figures's boot

The shadowy figure stops moving.

Something whispers, "Hello..."

Theodore's eyes widen, as he whispers,

T: hello... Is someone there...?
