We walk silently through the dense woods. You can't hear a sound. Leaves crunch noiselessly beneath our bare feet, and even our breathing is noiseless. Whenever we hear the rustling of leaves, we hide in on of the bushes to our left.
The Entities are close behind us. Last night we could see their campfire.
I don't know why they would give their position away by lighting a large fire, but the Entities really aren't the woodsy type of people. It wouldn't surprise me if they brought their own cots.
All we have to do is outsmart them, and we're good. But there's something about these woods. Something I don't like. I feel like we're being watched. Maybe the Entities don't need to be forest savvy, because they have spies out here, who know the forest better than I do. Maybe there's hidden cameras in the trees. Maybe...maybe I'm just paranoid. But I woke up today, and was sure I saw someone in the trees.
Of course Seep didn't see him or her or whatever it is, so when I told him he just brushed it off.
But what if someone is out here? What if they are waiting for the opportune time to spring upon us and turn us in? Something tells me that we're going to find out soon.
