“Kat?” I called out.

My bodyguard was nowhere to be found. One minute she was right beside me, and the next she was just… gone. She just took off running and didn’t look back.

Maybe she found the valerian roots, I thought to myself, although I think I knew deep down that it wasn’t the case. She had left me; although I didn’t know why.

“Hello?”

I started to jog in the direction that she ran off to. Over my head, the wind began howling more aggressively and the sky darkened as a horrible thunderstorm began to form in the sky. No matter which way I turned, I couldn’t see the mansion anywhere.

And we had taken so many turns that I didn’t even know where I should go to find it now.

“Okay…” I stopped and shut my eyes for a moment, thinking. We hadn’t been walking for that long… Maybe if I just got my bearings, I could find my way back to the mansion. When I opened my eyes again, I resolved to start off by heading upwards, since I remembered walking down a gradual slope.

But from here, I couldn’t even see where the slope began. The only marker I had nearby was the stream that we crossed, but I didn’t know where to go from there. If only I had been paying attention to all of the winding twists and turns that Kat took me on.

Suddenly, I heard a soft voice calling over the wind.

“Moana!” it called.

It was Kat.

I let out a sigh of relief. “Kat?! Where are you?!” I shouted, cupping my hands around my mouth in order to be heard better over the sound of the whistling wind.
