"Who is there," Elentari's voice asked again. She was now walking towards the place where Ewinda was hiding. Ewinda could feel the sweat streaming down her face. She stopped breathing for a minute; then Lenwe said something; "Oh, it's probably nothing." To Ewinda's relief Elentari turned and walked back in the direction where Lenwe was standing.

That was close, too close, Ewinda thought while finally breathing normally again. Elantari had now reached Lenwe but her eyes were still fixed on Ewinda's hiding place.

Elentari and Lenwe started to talk, Ewinda however couldn't read their words. But somehow she got the impression that they were planning on walking back towards the camp.

"I've got to get back there first,"she thought. "They would suspect me of something if I'm not there when they return," She was now almost crawling very silently away from the cave. Elenatri didn't seem to notice and neither did Lenwe. They were still busy talking and pointing at the cave.

She had taken a huge risk, but she still thought it was something she had to do. Even though it felt a bit wrong when she saw her companions as she was back at camp.
