[They're the Madrigals. They'll get out of this one for sure. A bit bruised and traumatized but alive. It's so easy to think that they're goners. It won't end like that.
Did they ambush us in the night? I wasn't strong enough--
The thought comes to mind, echoing in her mind. Luisa almost doesn't hear the whisper but then she looks up. That's the man alright and he was getting closer. Her rushing mind switches gears quickly. She stands up to her full height. She wasn't going to let another member of her family get hurt in this place.]
Behind me. [Her voice is low. Even without her Gift, she still was a more dangerous target just based on size alone. That's when she sees it. A shack, maybe the man's shed for tools? Luisa moves into a more aggressive stance but moves her head in that direction.] There--I'll be right behind you. Look for rope!
[It's a snap judgement. Her first thought was to pick up Mirabel and run for an exit. But that wasn't possible yet, not until they were sure everyone was safe. So that meant at least trying to scare the gravedigger away or, at worst, tying him up. To the man, she she gives a guttural growl.]
Want to try that again now that I'm not half-asleep?!
whomp whomp
