The forest pushes her back, but the creature shepherds her forwards.
She takes another slab of meat from her bag and tosses it between the silver birches to her right, then marches on.
The yawning of the trees makes her eyes heavy, but she pinches her cheeks and ignores their sleep-inducing effects.
Up ahead, there is a clearing.
She steps through it, light swallowing her, silence engulfing her, as if tumbling into the stomach of a giant sea beast.
There is the house.
A log cabin, smoke puffing from the chimney spout, which pokes out of the thatched roof.
Atop the ridge sits the crows, their unblinking eyes on Ada.
but she ignores them.
What catches her eyes are the thin sticks, the length of javelins, jammed into the ground in a circle around the building.
Like the sticks, she remembers her sister placing in specific patterns around their home to ward off intruders, all under the instruction of their grandmother.
But these sticks around the log cabin are different, drawing their power from the ground into which they're driven, and from what hangs around their necks.
Tied by string to the top of each stick is an item of clothing.
Ada grasps the locket around her neck and opens it.
She holds it before her, looks past it, then back to the locket.
Within the locket is a photo.
In the photograph is Ada's lost sister, Marie.
Smiling for the camera, Marie wears her favorite lilac scarf.
Ada closes the locket and marches on.
She pauses, caresses the lilac scarf tied to the stick directly before the door.
