[PTL Game] Danger

[Todd Houff]

Julia and Derek were leading the way on the trail.  Right behind them, was the Soulchaser, who was acting as both bodyguard and toting the heavy equipment for them.   Bryce never stayed in the same position within the group, though, as he was constantly going about taking pictured on the trail.  At one point, Soulchaser looked to see the probing lens of Bryce's camera pointed right at him.   "Don't," he warned the photographer.  He knew that evidence of him being the guardian of damned souls would show up on the final print if the picture had been taken.  Apparently, Rayne's plan was to keep Markham in the dark for as long as possible, so it was important that he keep his true nature hidden.  Thankfully, Bryce took the warning to heart this time, and decided to shoot some more pictures of the nearby mountain.   Soon after though, Soulchaser's eyes flashed red beneath the sunglasses he wore.  He had been monitoring the other group since they separated.  Not reading their thoughts, but keeping tabs on their emotions.  What he had just felt was a surge of fear and alarm from them.  As if something had suddenly jumped out at them.   The Guardian of Damned souls sped up a but to the point she was walking beside Julia.  Bryce was straggling again, so he wouldn't be able to hear what was about to be said.   "Contact the other team," he told Julia and Derek.  "There may be trouble."
