Location: The Dark Forest, Cheese Guild, Barton Town.
Status: Healthy.
Feeling: Cold and anxious.
It's freezing out here stuck deep within the Dark Forest. Perhaps that is why I am still awake despite the fact that it is my shift to sleep, but who could honestly sleep in a place like this? The shadows whisper haunting jaunts, sneering straight into your soul if you let your guard down, and around every crack and jittered edge lies a tale of unknown horrors awaiting to swallow a wandering thought. No matter how much I bundle my tired and chilled body in layers of clothes and supply blankets, I will never get the chill etched deep into my soul out.
Dammit, where did Nameri go anyway? He took off a bit ago, muttering under his breath that he would be back and to take my shift of sleep regardless. How is that a good idea... submitting my senses into blindness when the uncertainty of his wereabouts lies harshly around every thought. I don't think he realized how I have yet to trust him quite that fully. I won't sleep until he is firmly back in the camp where my senses can get a slight lock on him.
Shatan is too restless. It whispers taunts more dearing then the forest, thriving on the evil in which this forest grows upon. "Come now, just one hour to let me roam... it cannot hurt you now that the male is no longer present..." It never ends... the pleading, the threatening... the screaming... I almost pound my bleeding scalp right into the ground just to shut the noise off. But then Shatan would come forward as my wards drop... I can't let that happen.
I just shuddered again, I have never stopped shuddering since we descovered we were being watched. Why don't they come out? My senses scream how they are there... Their individual scents drifting invisibly through the air may not show their true presense but my senses have never lied when they have detected someone near. What do they want?
Damn Nameri for leaving me here... how the hell does he expect me to sleep? I hope someone remembers how we wandered in... Have they not noticed my absense for over a week? I suppose it is a test given upon me for trusting too easily on those who have proven they shouldn't normally be trusted.
I'll try and get a fire going while I'm still awake, that is, if I can get my bones to stop cracking from the stiff chill set deep into the marrow. She told me this wasn't a good idea but I didn't listen... I now know why Shatan was laughing right after I left the little girl alone.
- Silent.
