"Three things happened simultaneously. First, Cee screamed frantically before falling on the forest floor but Zach rushed to her and held her. Second, Lucas was instantly in front of me, veiling my view and halting me from moving further with his iron grip on my shoulders. I struggled in his grip, trying to look past him and when I finally got a view, my blood froze. A lifeless corpse of a woman was crucified to a tree. Her throat was slashed and blood was gushing out of it. Third, I noticed Zach and Lucas sharing a lingering look which had me thinking they knew something about it."
