"What was that?" Melva spun around in panic, searching for the source of the growl. It was not like a wolf's growl. It was something else entirely. Something they were not familiar with. A creature so vicious that its mere growl gave her chills.
"I have no idea. It should still be far away from us. I cannot sense anyone nearby." Vance kept his guard up suddenly, alerted by the frightening sound.
The darkness did not help Melva at all in looking for the creature roaming in the grass maze with them. The fairies had sent them here either to prove herself by defeating the creature or by getting out of the maze alive. They must hate letting outsiders into their territory so badly that they went as far as preparing this kind of test for them.
Melva began to think that this was an awful idea. They should have not trespassed into other's territory without proper invitation. They were practically cheating their way in by asking the help of a brownie that had been banished from Willowdale.
