Arden looked at me and said into my head, "Stay with Selene, I'll check the perimeter."
I shifted back into a human and took out one of her dresses from the bag. I helped her put it on.
"There's something wrong, I can't shift," she said.
"Well, you shouldn't be trying to." I tried to remain as calm as possible, but my voice was all shaky and so were my legs as I also put on a dress I packed, dresses were more convenient to put on and take off.
Selene was laying against a tree and was breathing harder than normal, sweating as she dealt with the pain.
"We need to get out of here, now," she said, and I turned around to see Arden still in her wolf form, checking our surroundings. "This is bad, this is really bad," she grunted, grabbing onto the roots of the tree and snapping them in half by accident.
