Livinnya flew Layne and King Baltimoor out of the crevice and they headed on their way. Soon they came upon thick woods that had a dark fog in them. "Livinnya..before we enter these woods, change back to Therese." King Baltimoor turned toward her and she understood, these woods had evil..she could feel it. Livinnya focused her whole self into changing back, and soon she was encompassed in light again. When it cleared, there stood Therese again, smiling at her success. "You'll get faster in time, meanwhile, we must make it thru these woods in one piece, His men are everywhere." Layne shook his head and they went on. Soon the fog envoloped them all and it was neccessary to grab hold of wrists of their companions. Soon, Therese began to lag behind and not much later fog carried Layne and King Baltimoor on, but held her back. Therese stopped at a clearing to take a breath and see if she could find her way. She knew it was impossible though, the fog was too thick. "RUN!" Therese started but calmed down when she realized the voice was Livinnya's. Livinnya wouldn't stop though, she krpt telling Therese to run, she finally was about to when a group of armed men marched into the clearing. They circled around her, not leaving a single opening for her escape. Then a man, who seemed to be their leader, raised his hand to stop the errupted whispers. They all stood at attention while he made his way to Therese. He towered over her, casting a long shadow, making her pitch black hair even darker. "What are you doin' lil' missy?" The man spit a long stream of black goop on the ground, then raised his eyebrows. "Uh-um i'm lost sir.." Therese lowered her eyes.he was an ugly man with red and grey hair, scratches and gashes across his square face.He smiled,his teeth crooked, and wagged a finger "Young ladies shouldn't be in these woods, you know what these woods are?" Therese shook her head no and he went on,"These are the Dark woods! Dangerous things can happen here!"
