I pulled open the tent, when I saw it I felt a little bit of relief, her body wasn't in there so I at least had hope she was alive. 'That is a lot of blood...' I heard Bato say behind me 'let's chase the trail' I said eagerly 'I know you can see in the dark but for me this is the same as jumping in a pit of spiders,  you can go but I'm staying with the fire were I can see'

'Fine, I don't need you anyway!' I was gonna run off, but when I thought about it, it wouldn't be clever to split up. I'm sorry Stella...

                             Lars
'Can i join you?' I asked, screamed almost. 'I don't kno-' 'come on, we will have the perfect cover story, the lone survivors af a catastrophe!' 'Fine, but first bring these boars to the people' 'animals? I thought they all fled' I shockingly said 'They did but these I have been keeping for several years, in case I needed them and now when I'm leaving for god knows how long they need something.' He swiftely explained.

After chow had made the announcement and had pointed out the replacement leader, commander and even sub-commander just in case, we packed backpacks who looked like crap and wore shabby clothes. We die pack some money and 2 swords.

When we arrived, after what had felt like days, at the gates someone from atop the wall yelled at us 'who are you and why are you here?' 'We are 2 swordsman seeking shelter.' Said chow and a very deep voice ' The guard asked one simple question 'how good are you?' 'Better then you probably have at you disposal' I replied he looked interested and said 'If you beat my best man I will let you inside.

                             Stella
I woke up in a cave, bleeding. I Explored the small cave with my bare hands because I couldn't see anything. In the dark memories were flooding back, bad ones from my childhood.
About me being alone and scared in the dark but my brother was there for me. But when he died I fell back into the pit, I started learning Magic to fight that darkness but I couldn't do it anymore I lost that ability together with my bro. I cried over the loss of my brother the loss of my Magic.

Then Pepijn's face came to mind, I started phrasing words and...

*FLASH*

Light...

                             Bato
Finally the sun rose, Pepijn basically flew to find Stella. Like dog he inhaled the air and went, way to fast, in the direction of her smell 'Do you know what kidnapped her?' I carefully asked. Pepijn stopped and looked at the floor 'I... I don't recognise it.' I frowned and just proceeded without saying anything.

If a werewolf can't identify it, what can? 'Have I already said I hate this forest?' Pepijn didn't respond, of course he didn't, he had to find his female friend who is probably more then a friend. I'm calling it right now it is gonna happen!

The further we got in this hellhole The more disorienting this place got but seeing that Pepijn had reached the pinaccle of concentration we probably were going the right way. This whole time I had the feeling someone, no something was watching us. The scare thing was that I had a fair shot at being correct, the mist in this forest really blockedv view.

When Pepijn Suddenly stopped I almost broke my nose, WALKING against his backpack. Pepijn didn't even react, I was beginning to think something sucked his soul out. Then out of nowhere he jumped on my hiding us both behind a bush. 'Wh-' he covered my mouth with hand and put his vinger on my mouth indicating I had to be quiet.

Then I saw her, it walking like a zombie knowing that in this world they probably existed. 'I know where you are....' 'yes, you two' 'I can give you anthing you want, my name is Ceyda ghost of the forest' Ceyda was coming closer closer, we drew our weapons and jumped from behind the bush slashing at her position 'boo' but she was standing right behind us.

The kicked Pepijn it seemed like a very soft kick but damn it send him flying far 'what do you want?' I said with my sword ready in case she came to close 'oh isn't it obvious,  you!'
A shiver went down my spine 'why?' I asked, to my surprise my voice didn't tremble 'because I can add your head to my collection'
