ooooo…
Hermes curiosity could not be kept at bay, and he approached the stranger. Who was she? Why was she sleeping in a place like this? Silly!, he thought. She should be taking a nap in a den like his. Certainty not out in the open where she could get in the way of playtime.
He was inches away from the woman when papa told him to wait and suddenly leaped in front of him. The boy whined insistently, but Hyacinth still wouldn’t move out the way.
Then he spoke again. Don’t touch it. The words were hushed and scattered. Hermes had never heard papa sound like this. The unfamiliarity of it made his heart clench.
His eyes went from Hyacinth to the woman. He hadn’t noticed before, but her eyes were just barely open. She was awake.. he thought.. but she had yet to move. 
Hermes looked to his father for reassurance, but he only pushed him away. His little heart began to drum. Hyacinth told him it wasn’t safe. It was dangerous. daygerous? the boy croaked. 
Suddenly a girl he had not noticed until now let out a shrill scream. Hermes let out a scream of his own. All the dread boiled over then, and he began to cry loudly.
