Fitheal began to walk again, hoping she could remember the direction she had come from. Pausing to listen again, she let out a frustrated sigh 'I should have known there was no way I'd hear Nikita in these woods', she thought. As the young animal continued her journey, she could swear that something was following her. It was a presence in the shadows of Fitheal's mind, and she pressed on faster through the dense forest, praying to every God under the sun (and even some under the moon, too) that she would make it back to her friend alive.
*CRACK!*
She heard it again, louder this time. Seconds after the noise rung out Fitheal was positive she saw something slink through the canopy of trees around her. Her heart hammered in her chest, and even as she told herself for the thousandth time it was only her imagination, something in the back of her mind warned her of impending danger. Not seeing any other option, Fitheal took a deep breath, before shouting out the name of her good friend. "NIKITA!!!" She heard her voice echo through the tall trees, and shouted once more. "Nikita, Help! Come quickly!!" she knew that her friend's hearing was far more sensetive than her own, and there was no way Nikita would refuse her call for help...she hoped.
