Ella's POV
An hour later, Max, Milly, Leo and I were stood amongst the tall pine trees of the forest by the edge of one of the pack's many large lakes. We were a mile from the village Milly and Max lived in and we'd seen no one.
"We're alone," Leo said after returning from taking a quick walk around our surroundings, checking no one was around.
Max stood with his arms folded and a look of steel as Milly turned out towards the lake. She took a deep breath and glanced across the blue water, which reflected the sparkling rays of mid day sun. She then closed her eyes and brought her hand to the amulet.
For a few moments, there was nothing. Just complete silence as Milly stood motionlessly, holding her eyes tightly shut.
She was concentrating hard, I could tell.
Then, the most amazing things began to happen.
