   Amber couldn't help but look over her shoulder
towards the others even as she was heading in the
direction she had been told to go.  This was
definitely not something good.

  A lump formed in her throat as she spotted Philip
heading over for support of some kind, and she
realized that he had been trying to help her along in
getting involved with these people, but that she had
simply ignored it.  For some reason, that realization
made her feel guilty.
