Amy wasn't looking where she was going. Just heading straight on forward, down the slope, like there was any chance of her finding Kaidan that way.

She'd left the group. She wasn't even really sure why. All of her inclinations pushed her one way, towards alliances, towards help, and instead she went the other way. She must be going crazy. Or maybe she'd been drugged or something. Her brain felt like it was torn in half, and the halves didn't match up.

A whisper of sound caught her attention. She turned, slowly.

There: a huge, hulking mass of fur. Teeth. Claws.

A bear.

Amy shrieked, and ran.
