Zalina immediately withdrew her hand from Mrs. Nora's grip. She remembered the incident yesterday when she met a person dressed all in black.
"Don't you scare us!" said Mrs. Roston.
"No, they're not bothering you for real. Two creatures are just paying attention. They're taking care of you."
"What kind of stealth is that?" asked Zalina.
Mrs. Nora was silent for a moment. Her eyes narrowed. "A furry stealth with copper-yellow eyes."
Zalina's mouth gaped in surprise at Mrs. Nora's answer. The creature mentioned by the woman was the same as the creature depicted in the "sacrifice" painting she touched in the museum.
"Maybe a monkey, dog, or wolf stealth. But why should they be watching us?" asked Mrs. Roston.
"I don't know, but this could have something to do with your ancestors or the creature loving Zalina."
