Stark fear. It was the one thing Melanie knew the best. However, this time it wasn’t coming from her. She heard his thoughts loud and clear. Cold fear does that to a person. It leaves their mind in a weakened state, vulnerable to everyone to take advantage of. Melanie jumped out of the tree, expertly landing on her own two feet. She was able to track the fear emanating off of Eltiask and follow him that way. She took off into the forest, heading to where he was.
That was when she felt the others. Melanie paused for a moment, taking in the presences of the men entering the island. That was strange. Considering Eltiask’s first reaction to visitors, it was a surprised that this reaction was so different. Then she heard their thoughts. There weren’t too many people, so she sifted easily through what they were thinking. They’re after us, Melanie realized with horror. No, they can’t find us!
Then, angrily, Is he planning on leaving without me?! She was not going to let that happen.
For once, Melanie’s weird abilities could help. She saw Eltiask’s moving form and caught up with him. His panic wrapped around her, but now was not the time to be weak. When we leave, I can mask us, she informed, sending the thought into his mind.
