Eira began to concentrate again, focused on how to escape, she felt that this sensation could be of help, although it was a stabbing sensation in the back of her neck, as if something was approaching, something dangerous, it also felt like something familiar, she could not describe this sensation.
"gggwaaaahh!!"
Suddenly, the wagon stopped again, and this time, a scream pierced the night. It was not a cry of command, nor of anger. It was a scream of pure fear.
The children clung to each other, and Eira felt her heart hammering in her chest. She clutched Selene, trying to protect her, while the screams outside multiplied, becoming a chorus of horror.
Suddenly, everything was silent. An absolute silence, broken only by the noise of the tarps moving in the wind.
Eira could hardly breathe. She didn't know if she should feel relief or more fear. She wanted to lean out, but her legs did not respond.
