Turns out that they weren't, and the timing couldn't have been any sort of coincidence. The collie felt her stomach drop and eyes widen in shock as she approached to see the torn up corpses of Sunhaveners. How could anyone do something so sickening like this? She didn't understand it, but she wasn't going to panic over it. Trying to remain as calm as possible, the collie placed herself near Fairylights and August, as if now trying to shield them from the terrible sight. This wasn't fair. They were so young and full of innocence. They didn't deserve to be exposed to this.

With her ears flattening against the back of her head, the woman spoke up. "Hey kids, how about we go back to the village while Bucky goes to the Ascendants to figure out what's going on," she offered, wanting to remove them from the situation. They didn't need to stand here and stare at it any longer. Bex just wanted them to be safe and happy, but that was becoming more and more difficult now. They were growing older, wandering around more, and experiencing all sorts of new things. Including murder. None of this felt right.

The entire situation was odd. How could the murders return directly after the Ascendants had agreed to neutrality? Bucky seemed right about someone trying to sabotage the entire thing. She had a feeling that Atticus wouldn't allow anyone to do this, or else he wouldn't have bothered to accept their request for neutrality in the first place. Nothing seemed to add up, and that only made Bex more worried about the situation. Still, she tried to keep herself calm, deciding to focus on getting Fairy and August back to camp.
