"Ruth... Ruth..."
It took a minute for Ruth to realise that Lester was shaking her shoulders to get her attention. But she kept shifting her gaze between the forest and the eagle statue.
"Ruth... calm down. What happened?" Lester kept asking her.
After not getting any response from her, he moved her face towards him. His warm olive green eyes gazed at her in concern.
Ruth lifted her hand, pointing to the forest. "F-fangs"
That single word from her mouth made Lester tense instantly. He saw Ruth wandering alone while others were busy in the discussions. But when he noticed her body shaking uncontrollably, he ran towards her.
They both were under shock to notice the pairs of feet running towards them.
"Ruth, oh my God! Ruth! What happened?" Thea crouched down and started running her hand on Ruth's face.
Tears gathered in Ruth's eyes as she repeated, "Fangs... that smile... the girl is crying. She is asking for help!"
Lester looked up at Edwin questioningly.
