Lucas who was keeping the night watch at the moment was stayed awake and was fully alerted when he suddenly heard some rustling sound of leaves which was different from the sound of leaves made by the blowing of the breeze.
Lucas made a flame torch and walked outside the cave. In the chaotic forest where darkness thrived, the flame lighted the area.
Lucas frowned and his pupil shrank when he saw black trees branched wriggling around slowly making their way.
All the tree leaves were withered and their trunk had been rotten. Their brown branches are dyed in pitch black and what more frightening was that they were slowly extending their branches and were slowly crawling on the ground, heading towards the cave.
"Are they responding to the light?" Lucas spoke taking a deep heavy breath as the sudden flash in his mind.
"Charles," Lucas shouted.
Lucas's loud voice woke him up from sleep and hearing Lucas's voice, he panicked and ran outside.
