"No, that's okay." I said softly. I recognized her as Abelina, the one with the wings. "I just really wasn't... paying much attention."

I walked towards Abelina and Calamity. "Uhh Ember's found something and she wanted me to get you guys" I almost whisper. I don't know why but I still tense around these guys, something just doesn't feel quite right.

Dylluan suddenly swooped down onto my shoulder out of no where and perched protectively on my shoulder, as if I was about to go into battle. I stroked his feathers to calm him down. That girl Emerald looked really nervous like she had just encountered a troll and was about to ask if she could cross over its bridge. Calamity turned to see if there was anything super freakish behind her, but it was just the forest. "Umm... okay. We were actually just on our way to Ember right now. We were all going to check out the thing she discovered." I said slowly. If she was really afraid of me I didn't want to scare her anymore. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Or maybe she was necrophobic, afraid of dead things. Maybe Dylluan was bothering her. Or maybe she was afraid of me. I wasn't a dead thing, was I?

Calamity looked quizzically at me. I smiled slightly and nodded."I'll see you there then?" I then turned around and started walking back to where Ember had spotted the building

As Emerald came up to Calamity and I and said something. I wasn't paying attention though, because Dylluan scared me when he flew towards Calamity and I. It made me wonder where Atehna was. "Dylluan do you know where Athena is?" I said so absent mindly.

I suddenly noticed Dylluan doing something strange. I turned to see Dylluan with his beak ever so close to Abelina's ear. He seemed to be making some kind of noise in his throat. It was like he was communicating in some secret language with Abelina. I wondered if she could understand what he was saying.

I must have been hallucinating, I swear Dylluan was talking to me. But I couldn't make out any words just mumbling. I didn't think angels could communicate with animals. I took a step back in shock. A frightened look on my face.

Dylluan seemed momentarily irritated and then took his communicating up a notch. Obviously, he was getting mad that Abelina couldn't hear him. He started making what sounded like loud screeching noises to me, but was obviously some secret owl language.

Dylluan seemed angry now, he raised his tone. Which then I could understand. He said. "Look up" I looked up and screamed. "AAAAAHH!!" Athena was hanging from the tree, practically lifeless.

I saw Abelina look up and scream. I whipped my head up and saw Athena, Abelina's little bird friend, hanging off the tree dead. I grabbed Dylluan and held him close. "Oh. My. Gosh. There's something in this forest that must have done that to her!" I desperately wanted to tell everyone about that presence now because I had a feeling that whatever it was had done that to Athena and it was capable of doing that to US as well. "I... I think I know what might have done that..."

I sat down on a rock. "Who?" I asked. "What? There shouldn't be any other humans, and it's not like bears can just tie a bird up in a tree. At least I don't think. They could have evolved."

"I think..." I paused, sucking in my breath and thinking about how to express this. "I don't want to say monster... but I think there might be some kind of evil spirit thing." I told her about how I had woken up in the forest and automatically felt the presence. Judging by the fact that I can still feel it and no one else has felt it at all, it is probably some kind of spirit that is either already dead or is kind of like me... they can make things rise from the dead or have some power over death. That is the only reason I can think of why I can feel it here..." I waited for her to laugh... or look at me like I was stupid or something.

"Maybe that's where Dylluan came from....wait, feel it here why?" I heard footsteps behind me. I grabbed a bow from my sheath, stood up, and turned around. No one was there. Just Calamity, Dylluan, and I. I backed up closer to Calamity. "Calamity...what's that?" I asked frightened.

II heard what Abelina was hearing It was footsteps. Except I couldn't see anyone approaching us and they were too loud to be from Ember or Emerald or anyone. They seemed to echo around the forest. They sounded like supernatural footsteps. I froze in place. My heart started racing. What was it? Was it the 'spirit' I had been describing to Abelina becoming real? Dylluan, normally so feisty and alive, was perched, stock-still on my shoulder, his eyes flitting around the forest, calculating how to escape. "I...I..." I stuttered. The footsteps were getting even louder now.
(OMFG-My heart is ACTUALLY racing! It's like one of those books where something scary happens and you feel like you're there! Now I'm really freaked out... AAAH!)

"Calamity! It's really close! I feel a freaking cold breath on the back of my neck!" I turned around. "Calamity, get behind me." Calamity got behind me. I shot an arrow into nothing, the breathing still continuing. I ran for my life. I didn't want to die, can angels die? I wasn't sure. Everything was going so fast, I think I was flying. But then I hit a tree, and I was out cold. I dreamed of a dark place, in which Calamity was nowhere to be found. In my dream I got up, and there was a dark figure behind me. A cloud of black smoke surrounded me.
(Keep in mind everything after me bring knocked out is a dream)
