"5 things you can see."
Seraphina stilled in fear. She had not expected anybody to find her in this position where it would become hard for her to answer. In her panic she did not realize who it was at first. The only thing that her brain registered was fear.

But meeting them up and close, and actually talking to them was a different story all together. Scarier than she had imagined it would be. Tougher than she had thought it would be. It was only after that she heard the person repeat the sentence that she recognized who it was.
