Chapter Thirteen

We made our way through the woods heading in a diagonal line toward the town. “By the time we get there, we should be on the edge of town and be able to skirt around it with no problem,” Richard said, using GPS on his phone to help guide us. We walked for a few hours before stopping.

“I think we need to make camp here,” Richard said. “We still have a few hours hike tomorrow to get to the other town.”

“How far have we walked?” I asked.

“We are past the town at this point but only barely. We can’t make a fire, or people might see it.”

“We are that close?”

“Yes, and I’m sure Mr. Mitchel has the town under surveillance. He might have the next town under surveillance too, but I think I have a way past that.”

“How?”

“I will show you tomorrow. Right now, let’s get some shelter set up.”

“Why don’t we do the same thing we did in the water elemental realm. I can raise the ground and make a little underground room for us. It worked well there.”

Richard nodded, and I looked around the tiny clearing we were in.

“It’s going to be pretty small,” I said as I put my hands down to the ground and called the earth to rise up, leaving a space for us to sleep. It reminded me of a hobbit house, except not as pretty. I used the roots of the plants to create a barrier once we all squeezed in. It would keep the cool air out, but it was easy to move if we needed to get outside.

We went through our packs, divvying out food and drinks. It wasn’t much since we left so quickly, but we each had a granola bar and an apple. We even had enough water bottles for everyone. We would need to refill the bottles in the morning, but that was easy. I could pull water from the air around us and let it fill the bottles. So could Tider.

I took the first watch, waking Adam after a few hours. In the morning, we had a quick breakfast of granola bars again, and I pushed the earth back down. We continued heading for the next town. We walked for half of the day before Richard told us to stop.

“We are close. We need to turn south here, and we will come to the main road in about thirty minutes. I will go in first and find the hotel. Once I check us in, I will let Sally know, and you can all come to the hotel one at a time. They are looking for a group of us. We should be able to get through the town unnoticed if we aren’t together. Keep your heads down and act naturally on your way to the hotel. Sally, you will need to use your invisibility shield. They will be keeping an eye out specifically for you.”

No one argued with him. What he said made sense. We continued through the woods until we came close to the town.
