Another hand on her shoulder and Raffe was whispering into her ear, pushing a plant into her arms. The same plant Nox had been carrying. She looked up at the man offering her the plant to protect. How could a plant be more important that living? But she held on to it, tucked in close with one hand and wrapped the other in Raffe's. Nox needed to move. Raffe wasn't going to help? But she didn't care, she clung to the other man. Her heart pounding in her chest at the sight of all those eyes. They were ugly and grotesque as they pulled into the light of the orb. And then it went out. Sterling yelped in fear. She wanted to run but Nox whispered into the darkness. "I need to see. Quiet." How could he see in the darkness? There was no light, nothing reflected.
And then as the darkness grew darker and her eyes adjusted she saw exactly what she thought she should see, the fire glow flickering off the tiny eyes in the darkness. They looked like rats and dogs, and strange creatures she'd never seen before. She had so many questions but she stayed quiet as Nox took a step forward. He knelt down in front of them several feet away his hand outstretched as he whispered for the dog again.
