"You all right?" Srina asked.
"Fine," Dakshana said. "And you?"
Minka nodded.
Srina clung to her. "I'm afraid. I don't like this place."

"Probably them." Dakshana stared at the eyes gazing from the shadows. She heard laughter and shuddered.
Srina screamed.
The eyes drifted closer, and the girls recoiled. The icy-blue glow from the torches vanished when the shadows closed over them.
Dakshana traced a rune in the air, murmured its name, and fire flared on her palm.
