Once or twice she thought she heard a sound from behind her, and turned, fearful that the banshee might have returned through another opening. She could not understand why the parent was absent--didn't banshees incubate their eggs? Even in the partial light, she could see that the lair had no other entrance. She had cleared a space almost large enough to crawl through when the egg began rocking violently. A curved beak, glistening wet, emerged from a jagged slit.
Gavi's first impulse was to launch herself through the narrow aperture, regardless of damage to skin or clothing, but caution stayed her. What if the hatchling displayed the legendary speed and appetite of an adult banshee? It might seize her before she could draw her knife. Or, worse yet, what if it caught her midway through the opening?
