Yana felt a strong sense of urgency as she left the clearing with the cauldron behind her. She knew that her transformation was not yet complete and that she had more to learn. She decided to head towards the nearest village in search of a book on witchcraft.
As she walked through the forest, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being followed. She turned around but saw nothing. She picked up her pace, but the feeling persisted. Finally, she stopped in her tracks and looked around. That's when she saw it – a black cat with piercing yellow eyes was watching her from the shadows.
Yana was not afraid of cats, but there was something different about this one. It seemed to be looking right through her, and she felt as though it could read her mind. She took a step closer, and the cat darted away.
