Gabe was close. He knew he was. The lake wasnāt that far and admittedly he was traveling much slower back than he had going but he had to be close. The greenery had gotten thicker and it reminded him of Sabine even if he didnāt feel Sabine in them anymore. Just like how empty his mind and soul felt when he tried to reach out for Micah and came up with silence but he could still sense he was close. Just in a weird shadowy kind of way instead of the interactive concrete knowing of before. This was hands down the worst thing thatād ever happened in a very long time. Concentrating as hard as he was on putting one foot in front of the other and making it back to Micah without incidents beyond his own clumsy footing, he almost didnāt hear the snap. His first thought was that itād been his own foot, but deeper bred instinct snapped his gaze up to find a very real, very lethal threat, way too close.
Shit. Micah was going to haunt the ever-living-fuck out of his ghost if he died now. Ouija boards and summonings and daily prayers just to yell at him for being such a fucking idiot. Goddess, almost two decades of survival to be undone by a fucking werewolf and a cold. Still, maybe there was a possibility heād not be seen, heard, or smelt. He was mostly saturated with salt water and malaise with a distinct lack of magick. Could be anyone right? Barely daring to breathe, he tried to creep past the man, but could almost feel the moment something in the air shifted and his presence was noted. Fuck. Gathering what little strength he had left, he turned, and ranĀ for Sabineās, unable to help his mind from desperately trying to connect with Micahās, Sabineās, anyoneās.Ā
