[In staying still, Annie only feels herself becoming more anxious, so she turns away from the stump to continue heading in the direction she had initially wandered. At least with her feet moving, she feels as though she is accomplishing something, even if it is only to stray farther from where she should be going. Eventually, she has to reach something or someone.
The trees she passes stand firm and still, yet, as she continues pressing on, the shadows among them seem to shift unnaturally in her peripheral vision. Already unsettled feeling so lost, Annie bows her head forward and draws her shoulders up as her pace declines gradually. Not even the leaves above seem to be whispering to the wind anymore. Yet somehow, the trees do not feel as empty as they appear...
Her gaze turns as she searches around her, but it is as she focuses forward that Annie is met with the rather startling sight of two glowing blue lights ahead. Her strides freeze as she gasps in a soft breath to hold in her chest with her fingers curling against the fabric of her pink sweater.
