Chapter Twenty-One

So apparently, my navigating skills were improving after all because I ended up getting us back to the entrance. Sure, I made a few wrong turns along the way, but the end result was the same.

I felt someone brush up against me as we were walking. I turned, fully expecting it to be Archer because, once again, that boy didn’t understand the concept of personal space, but instead, I found Dylan standing next to me.

“So do you know where we’re going or are we just taking in the scenery?” he asked.

For some unexplained reason, I glanced over my shoulder at Archer and saw Rose holding his hand while looking up at him with the widest smile on her face. I had no idea how she could be smiling at a time like this but I was glad to see it. It made sense that Archer, of all people, could make her smile after what she’d been through. I mean, who wouldn’t smile while looking at a face like that?

Woah. Where the hell did that come from?

I quickly turned back around, ignoring the warmth spreading throughout my face from my thoughts, and I saw Dylan staring at me with a knowing look on his face.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Dylan shook his head, the look never leaving his face.

“I just asked you a question, but apparently, you were too busy getting an eyeful to notice.” Dylan gestured to Archer with his head.

If it was even possible, my face became even hotter and I knew it probably looked like a beet now.

“W-what are you talking about?”

Dylan just shook his head.

“Don’t play dumb. I saw what happened back there. I’d say you wanted to give him a lot more than just a simple thank you and a hug for saving you, if you know what I mean.” Dylan wiggled his eyebrows.

My face was on fire.

“Give who a thank you?” I jumped at the sound of Archer’s voice. When had he gotten so close?

I turned around and was now more aware than ever of how close we were.

“Um, I . . . h-he . . . ugh . . . what?”

Great job, Gemma. Way to show off your great speaking skills.

Dylan cleared his throat and when I looked back at him, he had one eyebrow raised, almost as if he was daring me to deny what he had just said.

I didn’t have time for this. We had a bunch of psychotic masked lunatics running around and playing a game of extreme hide-and-seek. There was no time to talk about my love life—not that I had one.

“It’s nothing. Let’s just keep moving.” I shot Dylan a pointed look before turning around and hurrying forward.

I was so busy trying to get away from Dylan and Archer and avoiding further embarrassment that I didn’t even notice it. Not until it was too late.

The same time I heard Archer and Dylan scream my name was the same time I tripped over something and a black shadow darted out and struck me across the head.
