Chapter 13

“It’s… creepy in here,” Dave’s uneven voice resounded off the barn walls. He stopped by the entrance, glancing around uneasily.

The place was big and dark, with only a few sun rays penetrating inside through the small windows high up in the walls. They weren’t in complete darkness, though. As soon as they closed the big doors, and their eyes adjusted, they saw that there was enough light to see the insides of the barn and not to stumble over anything. The room itself was empty at the moment, and only a dozen pillars filled the space. It was obviously not new, but well-maintained, and it had a high ceiling supported by long, sturdy rafters.

Pain cast about the barn skeptically. Well, at least it was a suitable place for training, she thought.

“Come on.” She started to walk further inside. “There’s got to be a lodge somewhere,” her voice sounded stiff and gloomy, and Jane glanced at her sister with troubled eyes before following her.

When they had reached the barn – a big steel construction in the middle of a field – Ryan called for her to come up. He handed her a pretty heavy backpack with a crooked smile.

“Take this so you won’t get bored if it takes longer than we think.”

She gave him a quizzical look, but as she touched the backpack, she knew what was inside.

“Books?” She smiled.

“Well, I was thinking about an X-Box, but I’m not sure you like it that much.” The corners of his lips quirked up again, and she laughed.

“Thanks! You saved us.”

She didn’t see the heavy look he gave her as she hurried outside.

When they had left the car, the others drove away, back to the highway not far from the place. She had felt like they were cast out by the whole world, left there like that.

A warm yellow light flickered to life in the far right corner, tearing her out of her reverie. Pain had found the lodge. All three of them hurried there, curious.

Through a low doorway, they could see a table lamp that cast a snug illumination on a small room that was partitioned off from the main space. There was a narrow door inside it – apparently, a bathroom. A long sofa was by the wall, the color of shabby dark-red, it used to have a flower-print some time ago. In front of the sofa was a low wooden table, and across from it – a cheap end table with an old TV on top. There were two armchairs on each side of the sofa, and a microwave stood on a wooden box in a corner. The rest of the space was occupied by a big silvery fridge. This high-tech shining giant stood out among all the old junk like a Ferrari among wooden carts.

“Cozy…” Dave noted with disappointment.

“Spare me your sarcasm, Curiosity,” Pain muttered in a dreary tone. “Don’t make me turn you into a living weathercock out there.”

She dropped her bag with a long sigh and stalked to the far wall, pulling off her hoodie.
