From the opposite side of the tree echoes the clack of what sounds like wood on metal as the creature rattles the hanging cages. Caitlyn's heart is pounding so loud she's sure it must be audible.
Slowly, the sound begins to move, and, equally slowly, Caitlyn begins to creep around the trunk in the opposite direction to it.]
