Jason had been on his way to the side of the forest. A place where he hadn't gone since Dahlia's disappearance, when he felt Salana nearby. He decided to stop to check just in case.
"Salana?"
There was no response.
"Salana, are you in the forest?"
"Yes, I'm here. What's wrong? "
Was there anything that wasn't wrong in this entire situation? Jason thought briefly. How often did a stepparent decide to sell their own child to someone else? Or even give their own step-daughter to their guards to do whatever they wanted? Everything about this situation was wrong!
He restrained himself from saying so because he knew that Salana felt the truth of the situation more than anyone else.
"It isn't wrong per se, but something is happening."
"....As in, something is happening in front of you? Or as in, you "feel" something is going to happen? "
"As in, I feel something is going to happen."
