It was dark but the moon was up. It was kind of beautiful and super creepy at the same time. For a moment, I thought I saw a shadow of a big animal, but it turned out to be a tree bending in the wind. Then, I heard a howl and I jumped. Layla laughed at me. “It’s just the wind, Robby. Unless, it’s Darmo, of course!”
