She finally stopped and looked around, unable to see the man-eating birds, but able to sense the danger. Sighing, she leaned against a tree.<br/><br/>"Idiot...I'm such a frickin' idiot. I could have asked someone for exact directions, but no...I had to go and get myself lost in the forest. And now I'll probably be killed by something nasty on my first day here. Great. Just peachy."<br/><br/>She didn't have any weapons on her, and when she heard the rustling, it was above her in the trees. That meant she couldn't climb a tree for defense. Leaning down, she pulled a thick stick from the undergrowth and held it defensively. She had a feeling her seduction powers wouldn't work on animals, and that was bad news for her. Looking around wildly, she walked a bit, trying to find the exit when she heart the metallic scraping again. Swallowing her fear, she took a deep breath and spoke loudly.<br/><br/>"Alright...come on out! Let's get this over with."<br/><br/>Sending up a prayer, she realized these might be her last moments alive.
