CHAPTER TWELVE

Prudence had already been in this maze more than once. At night she had dreamt of it. It was always in the day she saw it, usually around the evening as it had been when she was actually here. She knew exactly what the dead end looked like. She knew the leaves and how they felt as they swallowed her in. The place beyond it – the centre – had the utmost tranquility. She sat by the little pond while the man read his magazine behind her, asking her questions. She had never thought too much about those dreams once she was awake. But here tonight, she was reliving them now.

She had found it in no time. She turned away from the dead end and could see where Scott had been when he had chased her into the corner here. A tear rolled down her cheek. She realized she wasn’t afraid anymore – she was excited. She needed to see that place again. She need to sit there and breathe it in. Michael had been right about everything, but the meaning was so much deeper than what he knew.

Pru touched the leaves with her fingers. No sound. Not a whisper. She was alone, forever alone here, as she should be. Perhaps she was dreaming. Perhaps this wasn’t really happening at all.

Except it was. The cruel moon behind her revealed enough that she could find her way, but still much was left in the shadows. Invisible to the eye. Pru let the leaves dissolve her hands, her arms, her face… and before she knew it she had reached the other side.

Slowly, she walked to the pond. She looked at the chairs briefly, where he had been.

Four years. Four years, to the day.

She wondered now – more than she ever had before. Who was Bastian? How had he come to be here? Why … why had they met the way they had? Who did he represent in her life?

They were the questions of a child. She was grown up now, and supposed to have the clear insight and perspective to look back on this. And the rational mind said, he was just some random weirdo. If she were to meet him now he wouldn’t look nearly as nice as he once did. There would be no chemistry between them. Because it was now Michael who had taken her heart, and that was all that was important –

“Welcome again, Prudence,” a voice suddenly said behind her. “I knew you wouldn’t forget me.”
