I was lying in the dirt, barely conscious, when I heard the footsteps.

I tried to open my eyes, tried to move, but it was as if I had been lashed to the forest floor, half in and half out of a dream. Bear growled low beside me.

A hand grasped my shoulder. “Hey. You okay?”

It was a man’s voice. I opened my eyes, but my vision swirled and it was like I was seeing him from very far away. All I could make out was brown hair shining in a flashlight’s beam. Wind blew in the trees around us and a sleepy warmth moved through me.

“James?” I said, my voice a woozy drawl.

Another voice came up the hill. “Someone else down here.”

Thunder shook the earth somewhere far away. “There’s a storm,” I said. “We have to go in now. We have to …”

There was a blast of radio static and then another voice. “Pick them up. We’ll take them with us.”

It was another man’s voice, deep and strong from somewhere nearby. I opened my eyes and saw a tall man with dark skin.

“Grey?”

I struggled weakly as hands dug beneath me and lifted me up. Bear barked, but the sound of it was distant and dreamlike. My consciousness slipped away as they bore me off. I swayed in their hands, drifting back and forth as though I was on the deck of some great sailing ship.
