Making her way along Dobson Lane, Amber couldn’t help but feel intimidated by the silence. Not even the wind rustled the leaves.

Where is all the wildlife?

She whispered Steven’s name as she walked, flicking the torch left and right to check the nearby ditches, checking to see if he was lying somewhere injured. She didn’t feel confident enough to shout Steven’s name, some primal feeling about making herself known to whatever lay in wait in the darkness.

Fucking hell Amber, stop being ridiculous.

“Steven!”

The word was out before she had time to suppress it, taking her by surprise. She stopped and looked around for any sign of him, straining to concentrate her hearing on the smallest noise.

Still nothing.

Amber resumed her journey along the road, nearing the corner that turned up towards the farmhouse. She could see the dark outline from where she stood and noticed no lights were on.

Jesus, please let someone be in.

In the hope of being in the presence of other people, Amber quickened her pace up the slight incline in the road to get there quicker. As she reached the top she could feel her calves beginning to burn at the added energy she used. Fitness had never been her strong point.

Approaching the house on the right hand side, it was as if someone had thrown a blanket over the fields on the left, coating them in darkness. She couldn’t see into the distance at all until the torch light cut through it. A sense of relief shot through her body as she swept the torch over the field and saw the sheep sleeping. It had been so quiet this far that it was nice to see some living creatures nearby.

Directing the torch back round to the house, Amber set off up the road towards it.
