Chapter Twelve

The sun was strong as it beat down on our little group that was already weary from the rough terrain. “If we can get to the woods it will help camouflage us,” Daniel spoke more to Samantha than the others. “We can head to my cottage. We’ll travel by night and if we’re lucky, we’ll get there by morning.”

James picked up his pace, taking me by the hand, and moving easily in front of Samantha and Daniel. “We stick with the plan. Follow us.”

“Umm, Sugar? We’ve already veered from the plan,” I reminded him, and indicated the end of our line where Charlotte was trailing, still holding Shadow’s hand.

James stopped and ran his hand through his hair. “It’s not going to work. Not with all this extra...,” he held his hands out in front of him, searching for the right word, “baggage.”

Daniel faced him and standing as tall as James at six feet, he looked him straight in the eye, placed his hands on his hips, his legs planted apart. But he said not a word. Samantha and I eyed each other, knowing that few packs had more than one alpha dog. One would have to back down.

Finally, Daniel spoke. “Did I mishear you?”

James shook his head, more at himself than Daniel. It wasn’t like a Shade to lose his temper and it gave credence to the fact that the Romani Realms affected every inhabitant. He whipped off his t-shirt, revealing his tight and toned abs, and mopped his brow with the fabric. Then, he held his hand out to Daniel.

“New plan,” James finally said.

“What’s this plan?” Daniel asked.

“It’s not totally unlike the first, which was to find the wormhole back to the present. As long as we are all in our right minds, we can get back safely. But if any of us are dealing with a false reality, and we were to be pulled away, the fears and paranoia would always remain -- regardless of where we end up here or back home.”

Daniel nodded, now understanding what set off James. “It would be impossible for a group this large to be sane at the same time. Not here.”

As if proving the point, Charlotte’s voice could be heard although she was still quite a few meters aways. “You are so good to me, Shadow. I’ll never leave you.” They turned to watch in disgust as Shadow dug in the ground for beetles and mealworms, and then offered them to Charlotte, who happily popped them into her mouth.

“Eww Charlotte, no,” I called out.

Daniel placed a hand on my shoulder and I immediately calmed. “It’s okay, Suki. I mean, it’s gross, but it’s the red beetles that cause dangerous hallucinations. The black ones? At least she’ll get her protein.”

I turned my mouth downwards and shuddered, but willed my mind to leave Charlotte for the time being. “Daniel, what are you? Samantha sees the good and I can feel your calming nature. Are you...a wizard?”

“No, that’s not the source of my powers,” he said looking downward, ashamed.
