The sound had come from a little too close for Theo's liking. It almost felt like something was within the 10-step distance of them.
He did not know what the plan was, they had two vipers that were bleeding so much that there was no way there was no scent.
'Is hiding really the only option?' Theo asked himself. The tingling in his skin was weird, but it was bearable now, as if he had grown accustomed to it.
Theo felt Clara's grip loosen on his face, and in a moment, she had removed her hand fully in a slow speed.
Theo saw her staring at him, and then the unexpected happened; he saw her make a sign with her two hands.
Theo tried remembering the signs; he had just started learning them, and there were so many that it was difficult for a rookie like him to keep track of all of them.
Yet a second later, it hit him; Clara was telling him that a fight was inevitable. That he had to be ready any moment.
Theo's shoulders tensed, and he gave a light nod to her.
