Hey!

The mother's attention was rused by this uttering of one of her children. She blinked her tired eyes and let out a yawn. They were just playing among themselves in the distance while she lay napping in a picturesque field of flowers, just enjoying the safety of Easthollow. Truthfully, Laurel had decided that she would not leave Easthollow for now after her run-in with the man outside. It was only by the grace of Nunataq that she had escaped. Ever since, her nightmares of that night he had come for her and taken her after she had laughed in his face and dismissed her had returned. Laurel slept uneasily and it showed in her tired eyes and many yawns. It was perhaps for that reason that she took a nap just now.

It showed in how absent-minded she was that even now she did not realise his approach. Not until she turned her head towards the cry of her child, still smacking her lips to shake off the tired feeling, and saw the man headed her way.

Laurel's body stiffened immediately. She looked around but no one was there to help her, not now. Laurel instantly got to her feet and stared at the monster in front of her. No, this isn't real, she told herself. This can't be real. He can't be here, of all places. How did he get here? Laurel just stared at him, helpless to act as he approached her. She wanted to run, she wanted to tear his throat out, but as he strode towards her, all Laurel could do was stand, stare, and wish.
