Billie shudders. Darkness weighs heavily upon the forest at night. It silences all but the lonesome owl who hoots and calls from somewhere far off. It sets free the wolves, snakes, spiders, and every kind of creature of the night. She is no cat; she cannot see in the dark. She moves by touch mostly, feeling for the bark of a tree or the cool of a rock. A tiny speck glows faintly yellow in the sky, only vaguely a different shade from the gray that hovers there. The castle and its torches, she thinks as she moves steadily in its direction.

Tim’s instructions had been definite. Having fled the Enchantress’s cottage on foot, he knew of a spot where the forest narrows between opposing rock outcroppings. When Billie encounters a rough rock wall, she checks the other side. Nothing. No other rocks.

She keeps moving, steering by the distant dim glow. Five minutes. Ten. Her knuckles scuff as she bangs into more rocks. She turns and crosses the open space. Bam! She blindly smacks face-first into cold stone.

Tim called it the funnel.

She has found it!

Now it’s time to get to work, she thinks. For Tim’s plan does not stop here.
