Chapter 6

Emily looked around at the haggard group and made an executive decision. They needed to cut these other whiny jerks loose. They were slowing them down, plus Emily needed to talk to Ingrid and Gabe alone, without all the nattering from Lucie and Fiona and the nasty demeanor of Betty 2 and Bernard. The professor was just irritating with all of his talk about monsters. With all of this on her mind, Emily got Gabe’s attention and signaled for him to follow her.

She made her way just around the corner toward the pools and saw that Gabe followed her. Ingrid was right on his heels. As soon as they cleared the corner, Emily started talking, “Okay, look you guys. Moving in a group is slowing us down, not to mention irritating the magic right out of me. I’ve had horrible thoughts about just setting them on fire to get some peace of mind. But that would be terrible. Or at least, the law enforcement among us would think it was terrible. So, barring homicide as a valid option, I say the three of us make the swim, “Ingrid’s face paled instantly but Emily kept going. “We make the swim and see if it is a way out. I don’t want to spend the next two hours trying to convince these idiots that we have to try it. Plus, I mean, honestly. Do you think that Bernard and Betty 2 can make the swim? Maybe they could, if they knew for sure it was the only way out, but we need to investigate without them.”

She chewed on her lip while she waited for Gabe’s reaction. She knew Ingrid didn’t want to do it, but she also knew that her best friend would see reason, especially if Gabe was on board with the plan. And Ingrid wanted to stab Lucie and Fiona in the throat just to shut them up so she suspected she might not think the swim too terrible of an idea since they were going to leave the dead weight behind.

Gabe nodded his head. “It’s a good plan. Is there anything I need to know from you about this plan?”

Emily grinned, “If you are asking whether I’m having any witchy intuition like Ingrid keeps expecting I will, then, I’ll give you a solid maybe on that one. I feel,” she glared at Ingrid in a friendly way, “like there’s something in the pools that will give us something we need. But also, I can’t stand this pack of idiots and my flight mechanism has kicked in. That’s not particularly witchy, though.”

Gabe and Emily looked to Ingrid. This had to be unanimous. At least between the three of them. They all knew this was a risk and Emily was, if she was honest with herself, more than a little petrified of the possibility of monsters of some sort down here. Not for the first time, she chastised herself for not having paid more attention to Hazel’s instructions about anything. So much to learn.
