"Danielle, did you hear something?" Howard looked around vigilantly and grabbed Vivian.

Danielle took out a dagger and cautiously watched her step. The sound resembled the hissing of a snake. She said, "There are most likely snakes nearby. Everyone, be careful. Take this powder. Throw it at the snakes if you come across them." She distributed some powder to the three of them.
