A thousand scenarios played before my eyes by the time I made it up the stairs and out into the forest. The people who'd kidnapped me once could be baiting me. They could have found out about Izzy and me, and they were using her scent to lure me out.
But I would have smelled them.
I would have smelled them if they were there with her, too, intending to kidnap me again. No, she was all alone, and I might have had no idea how far I could smell something, but I apparently could smell farther than Red.
The beams of sunlight penetrated the canopy every few feet, making everything look more green than it had when we first came into the forest.
