I searched through the tree lines, through the glaring snow and through the dirty underbelly of the forest. For a moment there was nothing. Then another, and another. Until ten… fifteen… thirty… a minute.
Still nothing.
"You heard that, yes?"
Celeste nodded. Her eyes tersely followed mine, making snap judgements of whether the tiny movements were true or not. Was it enemy action or some other inane reason… like our heightened senses, they who conjured some grand illusion to trick us both.
I took a breath.
"What was it…? What… what… what-" I racked my mind for the subject, yet still that ominous wind blew a doubt over my mind. A little cloud of paranoia.
