Casper stared at the dark sky hard packed with tree vines and gulped, "Ezekiel, are you sure?"
Ezekiel raised his eyebrow in amusement as he glanced at him through the corner of his eye. A small smile appeared on his face when he noticed how Casper concentrated on the towering tree with a hard face.
"We wouldn't know unless we try"
Casper whipped his head towards his reckless friend, his eyes conveying his franticity and said in a low voice, "But I get the feeling that this would be our last chance…" To try
He swallowed the two words he wanted to utter as he couldn't believe it himself. He felt ridiculous, feeling the terror that had struck his soul, the moment the huge tree expanded, surrounding them in an instant.
He had faced many strong enemies - noble vampires and even powerful beasts - yet, none had given him this feeling - the dangerous feeling of death looming upon him.
