In the Woods
A few minutes ago.
Eliza signals to her brothers, who quickly reach her at the entrance of the mansion. Both seem concerned, but Tobias is the first to speak. "What's the problem, Sis? What did that woman tell you?"
She looks around before speaking in a low tone. "Don't make a fuss, but we have a problem."
Preston realizes the situation is serious and furrows his brow. "What is it about?"
"The Drummonds," she says solemnly. "They're here for us."
Both Tobias and Preston are confused. "But wasn't it you who invited them-"
"Not those with Josephine, of course," she quickly interrupts them. "I'm talking about the Drummonds from Saltstone."
"Damn!" Tobias exclaims, his expression becoming more apprehensive.
Preston looks a bit skeptical, though. "How did they get here so quickly? That seems unlikely…"
"No," Eliza shakes her head. "That woman didn't lie, they're here to kill us."
"Who would act so quickly?" Tobias wonders.
