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!”
