Elin nodded to the hunters, staying close to them, a look of relief on her face. They walked for a bit and they started asking for her information, which was easy to give since she had once had a family and could still refer to them. Her words seemed to convince them that she was indeed a normal human being. When she saw the lights of the houses, a smile appeared on her lips and she almost felt like a crying. The hunters seemed happy to have helped her when seeing the expression on her face. Until, all of a sudden, they realized she was holding a tube of wrapping paper instead a rifle.<br/><br/>Elin couldn't believe the illusion had worn off right in front of their eyes. She dropped the tube in terror, receiving curious looks from the hunters. Contrarily to her expectation, they did not attack her, since they had believed her story earlier. "Well look at that!" One of the exclaimed and poked the tube. "Any idea how this happened? Did you keep an eye on your weapon at all times?"<br/><br/>The girl nodded. "Y-yes! B-but... now that I think of it, I came across a fox-like creature in the forest. It appeared when I sat down to rest a little and placed my rifle against a tree."<br/><br/>The hunters exchanged looks. "Seems like you ran into that damn fox." One of the muttered. "One day I'll put a bullet between its eyes and hang it on my wall. You're lucky to be alive and to have found us, Miss. That fox can really play tricks on you."<br/><br/>"I was so scared..." She spoke with her voice trembling. "I'll never go to the forest alone!" Elin buried her face in her hands and cried, partly fake tears, earning further sympathy from the hunters.<br/><br/>"Come on now, we're out of the forest. Let's get some food and drinks!" A hunter announced, patting Elin's shoulder, causing her to smile into her palms.
