*Five minutes earlier*
Mia remained by the tree where Arthur left her to stay and rest.
She sat back when she heard a rustling followed by someone moving at an incredible speed.
She sat still when the movement suddenly ceased, stopped in a time frame smaller than she could perceive.
Because that was what Arthur requested of her.
'I need to trust him,' Mia thought. She tried to wash her worries away by gulping down a mouthful of her saliva.
Mia then lowered her eyes to her hands. They were ever-so-slightly trembling.
'That's weird,' Mia thought while an empty smile formed on her lips. All the emotions left her eyes, leaving them to just stare at the girl's hand. 'It's not cold, so why am I shivering?'
Mia continued to stare at her hands for a few more seconds.
Thump.
