Half Mile Scream

Her ear twitched. There was a scream in the distance. All thoughts of leaving shot from her mind in that moment.

“Someone’s in trouble.”

“Huh?” Leaf started. “Wh- What?”

“Half mile.” She pointed through the loose thicket of trees towards the direction of the path that would eventually join up with theirs. “That way.”

“Wait, wait, what?”

“Follow if you will. I will not judge either way.”

“Wait-”

Sheik didn’t let another second pass. She sprinted in the direction of the cry. Within a minute, she heard another scream, one far more intense than the first.
