We'd arrived just outside the forest and as I remembered, it was full of bugs. Having the comfort of my alpha particles and knowing there were way too many bugs here wasn't a comfort.
Crawlers…spiders…leeches…centipedes….
The sound… the feeling… the sweat… Wasn't the snowy plains a whole lotta better?
"You can hold my hand if you're too scared," Raea said, spreading her hand my way.
She was wearing a sleeveless dress, so I could barely see her bra in that angle.
I had a feeling that was intentional.
"No thanks and I'm not scared." Barely.
So- with Aria in the front, we all headed into the dreadful forest full of bugs.
But I didn't need to resort to my barriers.
