Chapter Seventeen

The wirey man turned on the spot and stared at me. Confused but resigned to the awkward gaping, I clicked my tongue impatiently. “There's no one here.”

“We're here,” he said slowly.

Had I really pushed the guy so hard he was now Mr. Creep a saurus? I didn't even mean to. “I meant your master,” I snapped impatiently.

Without warning, his hand shot out and made contact with something solid that I couldn't see. A door appeared, looking bizarre by itself in a sea of sand. “This way,” the man purred, pushing the door open to reveal a dark space. “After you.”

“You want me to go in there?” I twisted around the man to try and see through the darkness. As far as I could tell there was nothing there but this door. Things weren't what they seemed here though, it could be a portal to somewhere.

“Yes,” he nodded.

“What's in there?” I took a step past the man to get a closer look.

“My master wishes...”

“Yeah, I know,” I cut him off. “And he's in here?” Taking a deep breath of uncertainty, I stepped inside the small space – not sure what I expected to happen.

Nothing happened. I was standing in a dark space the size of a small closet. Outside, the man continued to watch me with his eyes slightly blank.

“What now?” I prompted. “Which way do I go? Is there a code or button to push?”

“He will see you soon,” the man replied, then swung the door closed in my face.

“What?” Did he just shut me in? I wasn't expected to just wait here in this coffin, was I?

Feeling around blindly, I searched the door for a handle of some sort. Although there was what felt like a keypad, there was no handle that I could find. I pushed hard against the unrelenting door, hoping it would open by brute force.

“Hey!” I screamed, pounding my fists against the door. I was no weakling, but the door didn't budge at all. “You let me out,” I screamed to the man. “You can't just lock me up in here.” Normally I needed eye contact to convince people of things, but the man was already soft. “Open this door!”

From behind me, there came a scuffling noise. I whirled around, expecting the very worst, but nothing was there. Only the thick blackness that my eyes couldn't penetrate. My heart was thudding too loud, making my head spin.

“Is someone there?” I called out, barely hoping for a reply.

“Hello,” a small voice called back.

What I had taken for another wall turned out to be a corner which I only found by sliding my hand along the wall until it fell away. Heart telling me not to go further, I peeked my head around the corner. It was still very dark, but I could tell it was a short hall of sorts. At the end of it was another door with a small slice of light shining underneath it.

I glanced back at the door the man had closed and then towards the door with the light under it.
