There was a comfort in the darkness, a comfort that she had never felt before. Despite being blinded by it as she stepped into the unfamiliar forest she felt at peace. Once her eyes adjusted to the dark it made walking about the forest a bit easier, though it was still rather difficult. An eerie calmness overwhelmed her, her mind had finally settled and her body felt weightless as she moved. Was it the forest that did this to her? Being surrounded by nature? She could hear soft whispers throughout the forest, were the trees attempting to speak to her? She could not make out half of what they were saying.

Emily knew that the other had superior eye sight, for a brief moment she wondered if he would take advantage of her. Though she quickly pushed that thought away knowing that the last thing that Alton wished to do was to upset her. Earlier he appeared to be determined to keep her calm, why would he cross her now? Especially when they were surrounded by nature, she certainly had the advantage here if anything got out of hand. Though she worried that she could possibly kill herself in the process of protecting herself.

Time passed quickly as they walked deeper into the forest with every step. Emily could not tell how long they had spent walking, her feet had become sore as did the rest of her body. She finally brought herself to stop seeing as it was probably best for them to rest for a bit. A heavy sigh escaped from her lips, she looked over her shoulder at the other who had been following her in silence this entire time. She had not spoken a single word to him the entire time either, not even when he began to follow her without protesting. He had a motive, though she wasn't sure what it was yet. She had her assumptions.

"I'm growing tired, I think that it would be best if we took some time to rest." she spoke softly to him, she appeared to be content. Her eyes looked around the surrounded area for a moment then she left the path that they had been travelling down since they had entered the forest. "Here, we can stay here for a little bit." she wandered over to a tree with it's roots exposed. The mess of roots had made an almost perfect sitting place. She wondered if she could manage to sleep with Alton there, trust was a hard thing for one to earn from her.
