(Chris's view)

I closed my eyes against the bright light, as I got to my feet and snatched up my flashlight before throwing on my coat and crept out the door.

 my phone rang, and I inwardly cursed at myself for leaving the ringer on.

 "Hello?" I answered, and was met by the panicked voice of my sister. "Chris? i-is that y---?" I swallowed hard to keep the fear out of my voice.

 "Aphelia! where are you?" I asked, and was met with a scream before the line went dead.

 "Shit," I inwardly cursed as I stuffed the phone back into my pocket, and made my way over to my car then hurriedly got in. I wasted little time in stamping down hard on the gas pedal and driving out onto the windy country road.
