She looks to behind and that's nothing

"*Sigh* maybe it's just my feelings"

After walk a few minutes Rani arrive at the waterhole

She down her head and lapping some freshwater into her mouth

But while Rani drinking there's rustling sound behind her again

The rustling sound gets louder and...

"Hello"
