““Let's just stand still. Maybe whoever it is won't notice us. It's dark out anyway." Both boys knew it could just be someone from the local village but their hearts were starting to beat faster anyways. Who wound be out at this time of night? Suddenly, out from the darkness came a voice. "I'll get you you mangy little…" There was the sound of something flying through the air and then a plunk as it landed somewhere nearby. Lionel winced. The voice was female.””
