Squinting in the darkness Anya could just make out a strange curving symbol scratched into the bark. Baba Zosia scored a line through it, disfiguring the symbol. Anya felt something in the air change and give, like the forest had let out a breath it had been holding around them.

She rubbed her arms to stop it.

His hands trembled as he tried to maintain a cool, professional façade. Yanka’s blood. He had to find her and fast.
