Alora’s POV
As we walked through the forest I noticed the only sound was of the crunching of dried pine needles under our shoes. I stopped to listen for birds in the trees and normal forest sounds. Everyone else stopped along with me. I listened and the forest was dead silent like there were no living creatures in it. I was instantly on edge, feeling like this was a bad idea to be here.
“What is it?” Calum asked in a low voice.
“There’s nothing. No sounds at all.”
He thought about what I told him and listened before nodding his head in agreement. I didn’t know this area at all, but I knew we needed to travel through here to get home. Was I wrong for coming through here? Should we turn back and find another way?
I took a breath to calm my uneasiness and started walkin
