Chapter Thirteen

Bryce and Company

They drove in silence on the ride to the mall. The roads were dark and lifeless, which made everything seem that much more ominous.

When they reached the exit leading towards Bloomington, Henry cleared his throat. “What time is it?”

“Almost six,” said Bryce, glancing at the dashboard.

“In the morning?” he asked, surprised.

“Yep,” replied Bryce.

Henry stared into the darkness. “Well, where’s the damn sun? Has the planet stop spinning now or what?”

“If that happened, I’m sure we wouldn’t be having this conversation,” said Bryce. “We’d probably be dead.”

Henry frowned. “Well, how do you explain the darkness? The sun should be well up by now.”

“Maybe the earth has just slowed down?” volunteered Paige.

“Maybe,” said Bryce. “But I don’t think it would be that dramatic. Not in one day.”

“Okay then, perhaps, Billie was right,” said Paige. “And it’s really the End of Days.”

Bryce groaned. “I’m going with - the clock is messed up, or worst case scenario - the earth actually has slowed down.”

“What do you think, Justice?” asked Paige, turning to him.

He smiled grimly. “Believe me, you don’t want to know what I think.”

She raised her eyebrows. “Okay, now you have to spill it. What do you really think?”

Justice stared outside. “I know this sounds crazy but when Travis had control of my mind….”

“Oh, come on now,” scoffed Henry. “That feller couldn’t have really had control of your mind. You were probably hit in the head and just in your right mind.”

“I thought you believed him before,” said Paige.

“I did, I do… oh it’s just so hard,” said Henry. “I’m struggling with it I guess.”

“Henry,” said Justice. “Seriously, I wish that would have been the case, but I haven’t been injured. Not physically, anyway. As far as Travis goes, well, we definitely had some kind of psychic connection and I hate to say this, because you’ll really think I’m nuts… hell I feel like I’m going nuts, but Travis knew about the darkness. He also knew about the hole…”

“What hole?” asked Paige

He shrugged. “I really don’t know exactly. He was obsessed with it, though. Just like he was obsessed with finding ‘The Chosen One.”

“Adria,” said Kristie.

“Yup,” said Justice.

“I still think Travis has taken over Billie’s mind,” stated Paige.

Nora, who’d fallen asleep next to Kristie in the third row, opened one eye. “Seriously, you’re still on that trip?”

“Hey, even Cassie believed it,” protested Paige.

“Back to this hole,” said Bryce. “What kind of a hole do you think it is? Maybe a well or something?”

Justice scratched the back of his shoulder. “I have a feeling it’s something much bigger than a well. Something massive.”

“In the ground?” asked Paige.

“Where else would it be?” asked Nora.

“I don’t know… maybe he was waiting for some kind of portal,” she replied.

“Okay, this conversation is getting crazier by the minute,” muttered Bryce. “I’m sorry I asked about the hole.”

Tiny, who’d fallen asleep next to Bryce, had also woken up. He cleared his throat. “What was that about a hole?”

“Believe me,” muttered Bryce. “You’re better off not knowing.”

“We were talking about portals,” said Paige.
