Lana woke some hours later, unsure of what caused her to awaken. A very strange cold breeze tore through her little shelter. It was wholly unnatural and chilled her to the bone. Suddenly very aware of just how naked she was, she tried to cover herself with the shredded fabric that remained of her human slave outfit, but to little avail. She should have stolen better clothes before deciding to escape an all-powerful alien king into the wilds of the woods.

Trembling, she waited, putting all her effort into listening to the strange wind. The more she listened, the more her cold, naked fear grew. Something was very, very wrong, and she was completely and utterly alone.

It was still pitch black out, and her eyes struggled to see anything. Straining, she opened her ears and eyes wide in hopes of discerning what this strange feeling was. All her attempts were futile. There wasn’t even a bright moon to help her see anything.

The air grew so frigid that she could see her breath in front of her face. Shivering with cold and fear, she began to regret her decision to run away. Even now, she wished she was in Dante’s warm embrace, looking at the smirk on Wes’ face, and the timid, but happy look seated deep in Emma’s eyes. Closing her own eyes, she waited for whatever awful thing came with this strange frosty wind.

Something frigid brushed up against her and she yelped, recoiling at the icy touch. Whatever it was, it was very wrong, and felt like an evil so dark, it chilled her to the bone. She opened her eyes, searching the dark of the night again. Picking up her frigid limbs, she pushed herself out of her little shelter and started running. She tripped and landed on her hands and knees many times. Her terror pushed her to run faster than she would have ever dared in the dark before. Her eyes finally adjusting, she was able to avoid a few trees at the last second. No matter how far she ran, it seemed like she couldn’t escaped the chilling touch of the strange wind.

“Please, leave me alone,” she cried out, her voice breaking in fear. She would give anything to be back with the Erassans far away from whatever this was. Surprising even herself, she decided even another dose of Dante’s belt would be preferable than the cold terror that seemed to be lying in wait for her.

A deep laugh sounded heavy in the air, so unexpected that it nearly flattened Lana to the ground with terror. Her limbs grew heavy, like some strange power was weighing her down.

Looking back, she tried to run faster, tried to escape this terrible thing, but ran straight into something hard and firm. Crying out as she fell to the ground, she pushed herself back up and gasped in fright.

A line of tall Erassan men in strange clothing stared at her. The man she had run into looked down at her fiercely, almost hungrily.
