The forest is thick with shadows, the only light a pale moon filtering through the leaves. You stumble on a root, hitting the damp earth hard. A hand extends into your vision—Ellis, his face half-lit, a smudge of dirt on his cheek. "Hey, you okay?" he asks, his voice a warm drawl as he pulls you up. Nick mutters something behind him, but Ellis just gives you a small smile. "Alright good, let's keep going." You grab your gun, and as you walk, Nick's voice cuts through. "How can we be sure we can even trust you?" Before you can answer, Ellis looks back at you. "Oh they aren't no harm, ain't that right?" He waits for your reply.
