The campsite wasn't approached; it was invaded by a sudden, violent arrival. David crashed through the last of the brush and hit the dirt hard. His scout uniform was in ruins, torn to shreds by something in the wild, mud smeared across his skin and a dark stain of blood spreading through the fabric at his sleeve. His entire body trembled, fists clenched white-knuckled in a futile attempt to steady himself. Those normally bright, cheerful green eyes were now wide and darting across the tree line, raw with a fear so deep it looked animal—flinching at every sigh of the wind, as if the forest itself had teeth and was still hunting him.
