Ravlen ran faster than she thought her legs could carry her, and Yuna was right behind.
They came to an intersection, five roads meeting at once.
âWhich way?â Yuna turned to Ravlen.
âI donât know.â
They stood, huffing on the street corner as Ravlen looked left and right, hoping the decision would come to her.
âThey all feel the same.â
Yuna closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. âLeft.â
âYou sure?â
Yuna raised an eyebrow. âIâd sense that high-pitched laugh from miles away. She canât be far.â
They walked slower now, deliberately doing their best to blend. The less attention they drew to themselves, the better. They were so close and couldnât let any echo get in their way. Ravlen started to relax.
We can get Donelle and be home by dinner. Madame and Janna will be proud, and no new entries on the island will appear. Then itâll just be a matter of shutting this place down.
Ravlen watched the houses full of families and children as they walked by. A father was grilling steaks on a BBQ while a mother was deep in a game of hopscotch with two daughters. They were all laughing.
Another family played cards around a picnic table.
A little further, a game of street hockey was underway. The ball rolled from under one of the playerâs sticks and bumped straight into Ravlenâs foot. She picked it up and brought it over to the awaiting smiles of both teams. They were a mix of boys and girls, all about Ravlenâs age. A girl ran over and took the ball from Ravlenâs hand. Yuna gasped as the girlâs fingers brushed Ravlenâs.
âThanks! Want to come play with us?â
Ravlenâs jaw dropped. âGinnie?â
âCome on, Ginnie! Toss the ball!â another player called out. âWeâre so close to winning!â
âBe sure to come play one day! Weâre always out here on Sundays and Thursdays. Catch you soon!â The echo version of Ginnie turned and resumed the game as though nothing had happened.
Ravlen walked forward, feeling like she was in a trance.
âThat was Ginnie. Sheâs a year older than us. I know her from Games Day a few years ago. She was kind and quietâ¦. and she hated sportsâ¦â Ravlen looked back, disbelieving the sight of Ginnie laughing while knocking the ball off the goal post.
âItâs not her,â Yuna said softly. âIt looks like her but itâs not her.â
âBut what if Ginnie accidentally wandered into the echo?â
âShe didnât.â
âWhat if thereâs a new entry and someone enticed her in?â
âItâs not her, Ravlen.â Yuna put her arm around Ravlen and gently led her away from the hockey scene. âSheâs an echo of the Ginnie you know. We have to stay focused on Donelle.â
Ravlen shook the feeling away as much as she could. Donelle wasnât far. She couldnât let the echo have its way and pull her from her goal, not now. But a part of her was desperate to know if that could be the real Ginnie.
Unless the echo did that on purpose? Did it put someone I know in front of me so that
