Ramella Tarina
She stood as if transfixed for several long seconds. What had just happened to her? Was it the same thing Daniel had felt half an hour earlier? Ramella's thoughts were moving fast and at first she did not notice Daniel tugging at her shirt. Then when she looked at him she saw the sheer terror in his eyes. Seeing he had attracted her attention the boy released her shirt and whispered:
"Listen!"
Ramella listened and sure enough off in the distance she could hear a strange sound. It could have been a growl of a wolf, but it could have also just been the sound of the wind. After she heard it after two more times however she was pretty sure that it wasn't the wind.
Over on the other side of the town, closer to the Tavern she heard the sound of a shutter being slammed shut.
Then she heard a much louder growl, coming much closer from the tavern. Even to her untrained ear it was evident that no simple wolf could make this growl.
Suddenly sensing the urgency to move she grabbed Daniel's arm and ran with him towards the nearest house.
The unexplainable strangeness she could feel in her lower stomach was intensifying. Reaching the doorway of the small house she started knocking frantically on the door.
