((No problem! :3 ))
Lissa squatted to examine a burning bush, her jaw still ajar. She was looking for pieces of rock that looked out of the ordinary. But it was hard to tell from all the black charcoal and ashes, and she didn't exactly want to reach into the cinders. Ouch. So she stood back up and rested her hands behind her head, looking around the darkened field for any other sort of clues. It was exceedingly difficult to make out anything in the middle of the night, except for odd shapes and the sound of chirping crickets far in the distance. However, in the immediate area, there was only silence. A dead, somewhat unsettling silence. In fact, as Lissa looked around and saw nothing and no one, she felt a bit frightened. It reminded her of a horror movie. She turned around, still searching for any sign of something when...
Was that a glint of metal? Tucked behind some trees not too far off. She took a few steps towards whatever it was, squinting. She still didn't see anything. But... Wait a second. She thought she saw a figure duck behind the object. Hair? White? What? She rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things. Maybe it was stupid to go towards something suspicious, but Lissa couldn't help it. She was curious by nature!
