"We can't just leave yet!" Rebecca cried out as Trix held her back. "Serena is still out there! We have to wait!"
"Rebecca…" Trix murmured. "We can't…"
"Why not?!" Rebecca turned to face the older beastwoman with tears in her eyes. "It's dangerous to leave her out there. Especially with what happened here."
The two beastwomen had been sleeping when the rootless beastmen had attacked the camp. Some of the beastmen had surrounded their tents and kept anyone from slipping through.
Eventually, they were able to overpower the rootless beastmen when the hunting team finally got back. However, it was not without some injuries and two deaths among the beastmen.
Trix and Rebecca, both worried for Serena and Kiro, had run to her tent only to find out from one of the tiger beastman that she had run into the forest to escape danger.
Theo had gone after her, but it was now nighttime and they had yet to return to camp. The two beastwomen couldn't help, but worry for them.
