Amethyst shook her head as the girl spoke. "No, that won't be necessary. My wound will heal a lot faster than you think." She took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself. She could hear the hunters' footsteps and voices clearer now. They were getting closer.<br/><br/>"I can't stay here. If I do, this forest will suffer. And I know you don't want that, nymph." She paused, wondering how much she should tell her. "I'm looking for somebody," she continued. "And there are people that don't want me to find him. Now, if I don't give them a clear sign that I've left, they will burn this forest to the ground before they are satisfied that I'm not here. So, as I said before, you would be wise to stay away from me."<br/><br/>She felt a flash of pain in her head, and she shut her eyes. She grabbed her head and growled in pain. She saw a vision of her Rider, being whipped and questioned. He was yelling through gritted teeth, "You really think I would tell you that? You'll have to try harder than this!" With another crack of the whip, the vision ended, and Amethyst opened her eyes. Her purple gaze was filled with anger and fear. How much more could he handle? He was strong, but no invincible. She had to get out of this forest.
