Renee dialed the number, and a hoarse male voice came from the other end. “Kaitlyn, we didn’t mean it. That stubborn girl is just too hard to handle! She’s really tough!

“But no worries. Despite Lena’s capabilities, she’s trapped right now… There are dangerous snakes and fierce beasts in that forest. She won’t make it!”

Renee held her hand over her mouth, almost stopping herself from screaming.

At that moment, Kaitlyn’s voice called from the living room. “Renee! Renee? What are you doing?”

Renee almost fell off her chair but managed to note down the number. Sneaking into Kaitlyn’s room as she passed, she placed the phone back, then casually went downstairs to the living room.

Her heart raced well into the night.
