When I woke the next morning, Brodie was still sleeping. I had expected him to wake the second I moved and insist on coming with me into the forest. I moved so slowly and quietly around the cabin. Taking all my things upstairs before getting ready. I couldn’t risk waking him. If I did, everything would have been for nothing. I wrote a note to him. Explaining what I had seen and revealing my secret to him. I pocketed the note and slipped out of the door. Instead of heading straight out of the camp, I took a detour to the meeting cabin. As soon as he realised I was gone, he would call everyone together. Setting up search parties to track me down. It was the ideal place to leave the note so that he wouldn’t see it until everything was all over.
As I reached the door, I had second thoughts.
