No Answers, Just More Trees Ahead

The bear’s quick charge had knocked Peter to the ground. He scrambled up, stunned, his face a mix of confusion and panic. Hana didn’t blame him. Her pulse hadn’t slowed yet, and her thoughts were just as scattered. Everything felt strange and unreal. Nothing about the night followed logic, and she had no apparent reason why they were still following the bear.

But they kept moving because stopping didn’t feel like an option. The trees grew denser around them, shadows stretching in every direction. With Peter close behind, Hana kept her eyes on the bear’s path, hoping whatever they were chasing would soon make sense.
