Ella walked past elliot and to the house growling under her breath, he followed almost threw the door before getting pushed back onto the porch and getting the door slammed in his face, he scratched and meowed before getting a "shut up!" From ella and curling up in the porch chair

Vitalus shakes his head, "No it might bring more danger to us. This has been a rule since before I was born no one goes to the forest unless it's to hunt for food in the only place to hunt, We don't know what dangers could be out there but I am curious on whats out there,"

the creature:

with the woman out of my forest, i return to my library, checking in on the small black things. they look...different. bigger now that time has passed. are they growing? i think they're growing.

shrugging it off i add more towels and blankets to the nest, grabbing my latest kill and shredding it into small pieces, which i hand feed to them, getting bit on accident more than once.

Elliot could smell food cooking looking threw the window at the foxs playing around on his bed, he whimpered and sat next to Adah who was also getting the silent treatment, she wanted to be back in the barn, Ella didn't care she was making dinner for her foxs

"which is exactly why we should go! we don't know what's out there, it's about time we do!" i exclaim "i'm going with or without you, Asmodeus, you are welcome to come. i'm going to gather up all who are willing to go into the forest with me, and i am going to search that forest!" i say, jabbing my finger at the priest angrily "if you want to be a coward, then do so. but don't drag the rest of us down with you"

Vitalus eyes harden and said, "No I am coming with you,"

Asmodeus looks at Vitalis, then at Andromeda. "I myself would not advise venturing into the woods," He says darkly. "Trust me, I have my reasons."

Ella finished cooking and bundled up the foxs feeling Elliot's eyes watching her but felt no guilt, she fed them and they say down to watch a movie curled up on the couch

"whatever your reasons are, set them aside. something is coming, i can feel it. you can come or you can stay, decide now. as for me and vitalus, we're going to ella's to see if she will help us" i declare, heading for vega. orion is hot on my heels, looking serious for once as he follows me.

"If Vitalus is coming, so am I." Asmodeus says quietly. "Shall I get the horses, Vitalus?"
