HER THREE MATES
Birds and cricket songs are replaced by total silence, we can even hear the twigs and branches breaking underneath our legs as we walk on them.
I can hear Owen's heavy breaths, even his hard swallowing.
The air suddenly changes, when we get to a small opening after the thickets.
There are seven tall trees, taller than the rest, which surround an old cabin. It practically looks deserted. The trees look so strange and peculiar. I have been to the woods before, but I have never come across such trees.
I walk slowly towards the cabin, Owen is one step ahead of me and his hand is wrapped protectively around my waist.
