[QUOTE="spyscribe, post: 2108756, member: 5808"] [b]Day 6[/b] It’s times like this, when he’s in the middle of the mountains, in the middle of the night, standing guard with a fourteen-year-old, that Thatch really misses Dennis. He swats at a fly buzzing around his ear. Funny, to have flies out at night. Even funnier, he realizes, when it sounds like there’s a cloud of them buzzing around [i]inside your head[/i]. “Hey Kiara, do you hear anything?” “Like what?” “Nevermind.” Kiara scans their camp. Rock, rock, Anvil, Reyu, Benedic, rock with a bump-- Wait a second… “Hey Thatch, there’s a bump on that rock.” Thatch looks. He wouldn’t have though anything of it, but now that she mentions it, he’s pretty sure that bump didn’t used to be there. “Who goes there?” he calls out, experimentally. There’s a skittering sound and the bump vanishes. Dimly in the shadows, it almost seems like a humanoid creature is running off. By the time they get to the rock, there’s nothing there but a strange smell, something like sulphur or hot metal. Reyu, once awake, notices a scrape on the rock, but she can’t track the creature, whatever it was. “Well,” says Kiara, “at least it’s gone now.” [/QUOTE]
