Well she heard them slapping the grass all around.  Water trickled across her face and off the side of her chin.  She didn’t mind.  The rain made her feel safe, as if it were a cloak hiding her.  A heather bush snapped.  Her eyes flew open.  Nothing.  Only branches quivering in the night breeze.  Someone slashed a bush.  And another.  Then silence, and the steady patter of rain.  The soldier was near, so very near.  Neeve shivered.  She turned her eyes a fraction, afraid that even this Electricity 4 Gas movement might alert the dark warrior hovering above.  Again, she saw nothing.
