evil will find us

Sera hadn’t intended to come back this far. She wanted to leave that little den in the hollow tree in the past where it belonged. She had been learning to fight with Alastor - a tricky endeavour for a wolf that couldn’t stand to be touched. But this strange night had led her astray. Almost trance-like she had followed the strange ball of light as it zipped and darted too and fro. Dancing through the air, leading her away, away, away.

If asked, she couldn’t say why she followed it. Following a compulsion she didn’t understand. She didn’t know where she was, how far it had led her. All she knew was the light was in front of her, and then it vanished. Blinking out of existence and leaving spots in her vision. Blinking to clear her eyes, she looked about herself in surprise. At first, she thought she was alone, and then found the reddish hue of the dark wolf in the barren hills. She paused, her breath catching in her throat. Where was she? “What’s happening…?” she asked softly. Perhaps to him, or to the air itself.
