Comatose
The forest was rather silent, and Alec knew the reason why.
There were groups of men that had been entering into the forest, subtle though they may be.
His brows furrowed a little, which wasn't missed by Elysia, who had been staring curiously at his face.
"What's wrong?"
Alec blinked, breaking his concentration. "There's been a few groups of people that have entered the forest."
Elysia tilted her head curiously. "Where from?"
"The same way we entered previously."
"Oh, so they're from the town! I guess the festival is over." There was a smile on Elysia's face, though her eyes seemed to carry a bit of dubious questioning.
The conversation between the two died a little, and Alec thought to himself that it wasn't the festival ending that had brought the groups of men into the forest.
