Isaac & Tommy
Horror movie cliche or not, this wasn't settling any of Isaac's nerves, his claws lengthening in the space of time it took Tommy to dash off and back -which of course wasn't long at all.
Like if.... Isaac could imagine the rest of that sentence, he really didn't want to, but he could figure out what it meant, because of course this was Marrowood and of course nothing would be normal, or any variation of it.
The snap drew his attention as well though, his attention skirting off from Tommy's unfinished sentence, glancing over his shoulder to see what it was that made the noise. There was nothing obvious, the sound didn't even come from one specific place in the woods either, rather echoing in the din. But there was a horrible waft of a scent, like raw meat and acid. Like decomposing flesh, like someone, or something rather, didn't brush his teeth.
"Um... I think someone's found us." Running back into the woods would be insane, there was no way they were going back in there if something was stalking them. "How far does the road lead, did it look like it ends? Anywhere?" If they could find something, or if it led somewhere, they might be able to outrun this thing still.
There was another snap, more like a crack than a snap and Isaac glanced back again, this time sure he could see dull glow from within.
