Henni walks with her father in the forest and she catches a mouse to eat. Her father reprimands her for doing so, but she is hungry and there are not a lot of animals around to hunt. It is cold and the two of them trek through the forest slowly, walking towards a ridge. Henni feels her teeth in her mouth and can feel them getting sharper. She has been beaten in the past by her father for doing so and so she feels them with her mouth closed. Her stomach begins to cramp and her father tells her that her body isn’t used to the blood that she ate from the mouse. The forest is very quiet as no animals seem to be moving around and most of the plant life is dead. They finally get near the ridge and crouch down and wait. Henni crouches like an animal and her father tells her she shouldn’t do that, but she does anyway. Eventually Henni smells two creatures approaching them and her father keeps his hand on his gun. A voice calls out and Henni and her father reveal themselves to another man and his daughter, Beth-Anne. Henni can smell something lingering in Beth-Anne, but isn’t sure what it is. Henni’s father tells Henni that she is going to go with Beth-Anne, but Henni says she doesn’t want to. Both of the men grab for their guns and Henni begins to run past Beth-Anne and into the forest. She hears Beth-Anne running behind her who tells her not to stop or the men might kill them. They get far enough away and the two girls begin to talk. Beth-Anne says that the men are going to kill them and eat them because they are hungry. Henni doesn’t want to believe her, but they keep putting distance between themselves and their fathers. Beth-Anne tells Henni that if things were different the two of them could be in love. Henni recalls her mother, before she died, telling Henni to eat her body so that she could pass on a legacy. Beth-Anne had done something similar and says that their mothers knew each other and that their fathers have been writing back and forth talking about how they should kill their daughters. Beth-Anne says that her father used to turn her loose in the forest and said he would kill her, but she always returned and he would let her live. They hear their fathers approach and begin to run away again. Beth-Anne gets shot, but both the girls keep running. The both bare their teeth at each other and Henni realizes her teeth are sharp like Beth-Anne’s. They remember their mothers as they double back and begin to stalk their fathers. They attack and eat the two men, but Henni gets cramps from the blood again. They leave and start their lives together in the forest.
