129 Controlled

Jareth stopped speaking when he heard the humming. At once White-Fire stopped flying forward and listened.

Astrid noticed their abrupt stop at what they were doing and felt the need to ask. "What is going on? Why did we stop?"

"Wait," he hushed her, his ears twitched and his eyes squinted as he paid close attention. "This is bad."

It was at this point Astrid heard the humming and the next thing they knew, the White Tiger-Phoenix Beasts' eyes changed and soon, Little White-Fire started being aggressive.

"What is going on? Jareth, something is wrong."

"They are being controlled, that sound of just now, someone is controlling all the beasts within this range of the forest."

Little White-Fire struggled from Astrid's grip; it was ready to jump and fly off. White-Fire on the other hand, started struggling and shaking its head, shaking everyone and almost dropping them in the process.
