Rory walked with careful steps through the thick foliage. There might be dangerous insects or poisonous vines along the way. She turned on the torch in her phone. But she heard the distant mumbles of the news reporters as they were talking amongst themselves.

She turned off the torch and walked in the darkness. The forest behind was pitch dark. Every movement of the branch made knots form in her stomach. She rarely takes this path and even when she takes this path, she never takes this path at night. Only Liam frequents this path whenever.
The worst of all... she thought that someone was watching her from a distance hiding in the darkness.
Holding her breath, she ran as fast as she could. She wanted to get to the safety of walls and doors. She managed to get to the fence. She could see the chicken coop from there. It was lit up and the workers were outside having their drinks.
