Why Do You Look So Nervous?
They continued moving through the swamp, their surroundings getting darker and darker as the sun went down.
The trees began to look like giant monsters looming over them, and the mist created an eerie atmosphere around them. Scarlet looked up at the sky to see clouds covering the moon and stars. She sighed before turning back to Cecil, who had stopped next to her.
"It looks like we are going to have to find somewhere to rest for the night." Scarlet whispered.
Cecil frowned as she gazed at the blackness surrounding them. "Do you even know where we are? How do we know there aren't any dangerous animals or beasts around?"
Scarlet shook her head. "No idea. But if we stay here too long, something could sneak up on us and attack us while we rest. So we need to find someplace safe, at least until morning comes. Then we can start looking again."
Cecil looked at a large tree that stood some distance away before glancing back at Scarlet.
