As Eztli ventured deeper into the dense of the trees of the rancho, she noticed peculiar shapes hanging amidst the trees. Squinting her eyes, she realized they were bee hives but in reality, is something else.
As she scanned the area, a sudden movement caught her eye, in a hole there are skeletons animals mostly goats plus the death turkey added an eerie atmosphere to the mysterious surroundings.
Curiosity piqued, Eztli's steps faltered as she hesitated, questioning the nature of the place she found herself in. Instinctively, she felt a sense of foreboding, a hunch that whatever lurked in these woods was no ordinary creature. Thoughts of the goat that had been killed recently flashed through her mind, and she knew she had to inform Peta's grandfather about what she had discovered.
Turning around to retrace her steps, a sudden cry pierced the silence, freezing Eztli in her tracks. The sound was haunting, unmistakably human in its tone, sending shivers down her spine. It bore a resemblance to the stories told by Peta's grandparents.
Eztli knew she shouldn't be there and need to find Peta and share her findings.
Meanwhile Peta's grandpa and Peta are looking for Eztli. Peta's Grandpa worried voice cut through the stillness; his concern palpable. "Are you sure you saw her head this way?" he questioned, his tone laced with urgency.
"She just suddenly ran off by herself," Peta explained, her voice tinged with worry. "I figured she must've seen something or... or she's distracted."
Suddenly, as if out of nowhere Eztli started running, without a second thought, Peta run off after Eztli.
"Wait, Peta! Why are you running?" Grandpa called after her, his voice tinged with a touch of worry. But Peta was already disappearing into the foliage, determined to catch up with her.
Konane and Rono stood outside the house, their gazes drawn to the ominous clouds gathering on the horizon. Konane could feel unease creeping down his spine. "Those clouds don't look good."
Rono's brow furrowed with concern. "I hope they don't take too long," he murmured, his voice tinged with worry.
Their conversation was interrupted by a stern voice behind them. It was Peta's Grandma.
Listen, you two," she said, her tone firm. "I'm going to go look for my husband and my granddaughter and her friend. Come inside and close all the windows and doors. Don't let anyone in, no matter if it's Eztli, Peta, or her grandpa. I'm the only one in charge of opening the door."
Konane and Rono nodded, follow the gravity of Peta's Grandma instructions. As Peta's Grandma hurried off into the gathering dusk, the two friends entered the house and began securing the windows and doors, sealing themselves off from whatever darkness the approaching storm might bring.
