She dropped down, and landed on soft leaves which crushed her fall. Catching her balance on bent knees and one hand, she looked up, to find herself eye to eye with something else.
She didn’t move, except to sway with her heartbeat. The eyes held contact, peaceful. She failed to acknowledge what she was looking at for the time it took for her knees to ache. Bewildered, she continued to look for fear of a response if she dropped her gaze. Next her eyes began to ache and noticing, they flickered a blink. It blinked slowly back and shuffled a half step away, maintaining eye contact. It seemed just as stunned and bewildered as she did.
