Aileen found herself deep in a forest.  She looked around trying to get her bearing.  Where was she?  What made her come to this forest?  Being very cautious, she pulled out a small flashlight to see in the dark.  Looking over to her right, she noticed two glowing eyes that were staring right at her.  Looking around, she found some dry firewood and started a fire to keep warm.  Strange sounds filled the air creating an eerie atmosphere around her.  With her eyes glued to the two glowing eyes, she lit a smoke to calm her shattered nerves. 

In a split second, she felt the presence of someone behind her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up as she slowly turned around.  A man dressed in a black robe stared at her in silence.  A shiny, glowing yellow  X adorned his robe.  He held a dagger in each hand.  As Aileen turned around, she fell to the ground, fearful for her life.  She could see that this strange being had golden gills, which told her that he could breathe under water.  This fascinated her and her feelings of fear soon dissipated. 

After getting up, she lit another cigarette and sat down on a nearby log.  They both studied each other waiting for one of them to strike up a conversation.  The fire crackled as he walked closer to her. In a very uncanny way, Aileen trusted this strange man.  Her nervousness ceased.  She reached out to grab his hand to see if he was real.  He in turn reached out to her and brought her closer to him.  After embracing her, he drew both of the daggers and stuck them in each of her ears. Blood shot out, driving Aileen to her knees.  In a split second, Jack shook her to wake her up.
