Tessa shook her head at Tristan. "No. This isn't an ordinary forest. It…challenges…you. Makes you endure your greatest fears, warps your senses, seems to be out to kill you no matter who you are." Without another word, she shot forward, running on all fours and darting over tree trunks.
(I think everyone is safe now.)
Tristan nodded and listened to what Tess had to say.
"Well then. While Tess does dangerous things, we should probably try to figure out how to get out of this."
Tristan looked disappointed but listened to Anna

"Your time issss up!" Says a slithery voice that was neither male nor female from above.
Anna froze and looked up, eyes darting across the monitors on the wall.

A disfigured child with the features of a snake and spider hung upside down from a single tether. It licked its lips. "We didn't survive for nothing!" It fell towards them, flipping its body so its needle-like fingers were outstretched and reaching for Anna.
Anna squeaked and darted into the forest, running as quickly as she could.

Anna collided into a scaled back just like Tess's.
Lacie froze with fear.
She froze, her breathing coming quickly.

The child screeched and leaped at Lacie.
Lacie grabbed a rock and swung it at the child
group
The scaled-back turned, revealing a male with similar dragon features to that of Tess's, but a mud brown as opposed to gold. He looked surprised.
group
The rock collided with the child's face, and it screamed and darted back, hissing at Lacie.
Lacie fell back still having trouble breathing
She put her hand on her chest to calm down
"Oh, hi! I'm sorry, I was running from a spider child back that way." She stepped back, oblivious to Lacie's struggle.
Lacie grabbed a stick nearby for self-defense. Could she actually keep up?
Tristan jumped away as a scaled figured reached for him.

The male chuckled. His voice was deep and rumbly. "You've met Camrin, I see." He tilted his head and turned completely around. "I smell Hunt on you. She's here?"
"I don't know any hunts, but yeah. How long have you been here, were you part of the last group? Do you know what they want? Are you evil?" Anna asked, her mind moving faster than she was able to ask questions.
Lacie ran in the direction she saw Anna go
Anna turned as Lacie found her way into the tiny clearing.
Lacie was panting still gripping the stick. "I think I lost..it"
"Oh, that's right. I hope Tessa's ok, we should go back and make sure Enderstorm, Danny and Tristan are all right.
Tristan ran as soon as the scaly figure went for him again, "Chill it! Would ya?"
"I agree"
Lacie hoped none of them were hurt
Anna darted back to the original place they'd all been. "Tristan!" she called when she saw the scaled thing going after him.
