Lena
She stilled immediately, head swinging towards the sound, fingers shaking, heart beating and drumming through the twilight madness. Instincts told her to run as soon as the unicorns began – but down she went anyway as one of the equines bolted sideways. “Hey, easy,” she murmured, eyes narrowing to see into the dark, to peer against the harsh light of the lanterns and make anything out as she whipped upward, striving to ensure she remained off the ground and out of stomping and stampeding range.
But then there was something – and she took a deep, startled breath. Striving to encompass the calm while her own ribs threatened to break under the pressure in her chest, she shook and staggered. “Okay, everyone, let’s head this way,” thinking maybe she could lead them further into the enclosure, out of danger, while still reaching out across the void, she'd done it before, she could do it again – trying to see what lurked. If she could entice it away and the rest could be safe.
Somewhere in her soul, she was still full of hope. And maybe it was nothing. Nothing at all.
