The camera glides across the still surface of the lake, broken only by the ripples from her trembling hands as she splashes cold water over her bruised skin. A close-up holds on her wide green eyes, still shadowed with fear, and on the broken wing hanging painfully at her side. The forest holds its breath; the only sound is the frantic drumbeat of her heart. Then, a sudden rustle in the undergrowth shatters the calm. The lens follows her panicked, stumbling retreat behind the thick trunk of an ancient oak. Her back presses into the rough bark, her breath catching in shallow, visible gasps as she prays the gathering shadows will swallow her fragile form.
