CHAPTER 6

The rest of the day was a long, slow descent into boredom. The herbs were washed and set aside on a shelf in the 'kitchen,' and the fire was stoked by an endless supply earned by Vincent's sweat and toil. The afternoon passed away and the storm lingered on this dismal mountain. Night came early, and at four Glenna shuffled over to the pot in the hearth.

"I'm hungry. We'll make dinner now," she announced.

"But isn't it a little early?" Vincent protested.

She stoked the coals with the fire stick and moved over to the shelf of herbs. I noticed she grabbed the bundle of Proxy Plant.

"If you get hungry before sleep I'll make sure there'll be plenty more for ya," she assured him. She tossed half the bundle into a bowl and mixed it with other herbs. "And I expect this will be the best soup you've ever tasted. Nice and bitter with a little bit of sweetness."

He cringed, but managed a shaky smile. "I'm sure it'll be delicious." He glanced at me. "What do you think, Leila?"

"I think I need to go on a diet," I quipped.

Glenna glared at me. "Then you can starve the fat off your belly."

My eyes narrowed. "Are you calling me fat?"

Vincent stepped between us and held up his palms, each to one of us. "Ladies, please. There's no need to fight."

"I'm calling you a whale," Glenna snapped.

I stood from my seating spot in front of the fire. "That's fine because your food isn't fit for animals!"

"Come on, it's not that bad," Vincent argued. "Besides, we've gotten this far without trouble. I'm sure the weather will break tomorrow and we can leave."

"More of your feelings?" I guessed.

He sheepishly grinned at me. "Something like that."

Glenna turned her back on us and prepared the soup. I seated myself in my spot on the floor and glared at her back. The soup was prepared and poured into our bowls. Her latest attempt at ruining our taste buds was a brackish concoction not unlike soupy tar. I spooned the thick broth into my utensil and studied the crime against cooking. It appeared slightly edible.

My eyes flickered above the spoon to Vincent who sat opposite me. He, too, hesitated to the participate in this episode of poisoning. Unfortunately, I was curious to see what effects this Proxy Plant would have on him.

I champed down on my spoon. The soup slipped over my tongue and down my throat. The flavor was bitter with a hint of sweet lemon. I choked down the spoonful and smiled at Vincent.

"Not too-" I paused to choke on the flavor. "Not too bad."

Vincent looked doubtfully between my face and his bowl. He sighed and shrugged. A small smile slipped onto his lips. "Why not?"

He took a spoonful and partook of the bountiful feast. Glenna had filled the whole of the pot with the 'food.' Vincent's face scrunched up, and he had trouble swallowing. A lump slid down his throat and he shuddered.

"D-delicious," he commented.

Glenna swallowed a few spoonfuls and smiled.
