Most people associate silence with saftey; they cannot hear the danger therefore there is no danger. They are dead wrong; your senses can decieve you.

There was still nothing to be heard and she started panicking, wondering where he was. It had been some time and he could be anywhere at the moment.
She didn’t know where the danger was.
