Then as I was looking at her, I suddenly heard what I think was the noise of someone passing through the waterfall. Or something anyway.
I stood up as soon as I heard the noise, Alita did as well. Just how hard someone suddenly found this spot which seemed to have been safe for the whole time so far. Then I thought back to the dead body and the silent region of the woods. What if something had followed us from there?
I quickly grabbed my sword and yanked it out of its sheath. I looked at the tunnel that led back to the waterfall. From it, I could hear the noise of wet footsteps. The bang of the feet and the slop and splash as the wet fur or maybe clothes moved around.
