The dark figure outside the cabin remained completely still, a silent silhouette framed in the small window of the door.
Then the mysterious woman still sitting on top of me turned her head toward the door. She didn't look the least bit concerned or surprised. A small, knowing smile curved her full lips.
"Go away," she said simply, her voice calm and almost playful. She didn't even ask who it was, she spoke as if she already knew exactly who stood out there waiting.
To my surprise, the dark figure outside the door turned without hesitation and walked away, as if they had only been waiting for her order and nothing more. The quiet obedience of it sent a slow chill down my spine.
