"What was that?" Laina looked all around.
Was it just her imagination? She thought she had heard a scream, a cry for help. But she had no idea where it was coming from. It sounded far off in the distance. Kol came out onto the balcony the moment he heard it.
"Did you hear that too, Kol?" She asked her bodyguard.
"Yes… it sounded like-"
Before he could finish his words, they both heard it again. Seeing both of them on the balcony, Margaret, who was preparing Laina's bed for the night came out to see what the commotion was about.
She too heard the faint screams.
The second scream they heard was accompanied by the ominous howling of several creatures.
"It sounds like it's coming from the forest," Kol explained.
Laina had a gut feeling. Someone was running for their lives in the forest.
