Midway, Nicole stopped and pondered if there was still a way ahead. She was wondering why Damien and the rest of his entourage had chosen to hole themselves up in a place that was so isolated and claustrophobic.

Upon hearing the second voice, Nicole's eyes widened.

'Isn't that Damien? Patricia was following him, but why isn't she here?' Nicole wondered.

As their footfalls grew louder, Nicole crouched over and looked through the gaps in the thicket, trying not to place herself in their direct line of sight.
