"Not so quick." A voice came from above her, on one of the trees, and her eyes snapped to look at the direction.
Sitting on one of the tree branches was none other than Theodore. He had his back resting on the tree, with his right leg stretched on the branch, and the other knee raised.
Upon seeing who it was, Vanessa was left in shock.
'How did he find me?'
Feeling her eyes on him, Theodore's eyes move away from the leaf he was earlier playing with to look at her.
He didn't offer his sweet, wicked smile and instead held a serious look.
When she heard another sound of scrunching leaves, Vanessa's eyes snapped back to look at the wolves, recalling the dire situation she was in.
Her eyes moved momentarily from the animals to Theodore, internally pleading for him to help her, but Theodore didn't do anything despite knowing what she wanted.
