I almost started typing: "Yes, of course, I would run towards adventures and supernatural things to learn more..." But then I thought, stop, I'm responsible not for myself only, I have a family. What if those demons kill me or worse, possess?
So I would run of, what a shame!

I agree with you, micoleon13. I would go with Abigail in order to learn how to defend myself and identify anything that may be supernatural. However, I think I would be more scared than Haatim seemed to have been the entire time with her!micoleon13 wrote:I think I would go with her, mainly for the cowardly reason of she would be able to help teach how to defend yourself and how to identify the supernatural

This is a great question. It is difficult to predict how we will react to a certain situation. I believe that if I had encountered being attacked in the same manner that Haatim was, I would likely want to stick close to the person who helped me survive. Near-death experiences are traumatic enough much less under supernatural circumstances.micoleon13 wrote:If you were to find yourself in Haatim's shoes and suddenly thrown in to the world of supernatural, would you go with Abigail to Ravens Peak, or would you get out while you had the chance to?

Haha, well hopefully if something like this ever happens there will be someone to keep you alive!

I would be exactly the same! I'd want to make sure I knew everything what was going on to see if it would be safe to back out and go home, or just go along with her. I'd be a bit more demanding than Haatim and I'd start asking for answers a lot earlier... whether I'd get them is another story.hsimone wrote:I agree with you, micoleon13.
