28. "Something scared me" hug.
It had always been perpetually dark in the Sapstrath Deepwood for as long as Elize had known of the woods. The place always sent chills down the young girl's spine, allowing a strong sense of unease to wrap itself tightly around her as she proceeded deeper into the wood. Somehow now though the woods seemed darker. The shadows were longer, and the tree's limbs reached out as if to pluck the girl from her path.
Despite the place being utterly terrifying, Elize could atleast thank the spirits that she was not alone today. Trekking through the wood next to the girl was her friend, Jude. Having him with her made her feel immensely better, and yet the dreadful feeling in her stomach refused to let up.
Her bright green eyes turned their gaze to the older, but in the mere seconds that the action stole, she caught a glimpse of something move from the corner of her eye. Panic was quick to rise up and overcome the small girl, releasing a shrill shriek from her lips. Quickly, without thinking, she lunged behind the older boy, arms wrapping tightly around his waist in an attempt to protect herself.
