To Catch a Tiger

Lulu drifted ahead of them as they walked along a path carved out of stone. The walls on either side of them were bronze-streaked rock with a sprinkle of gold flecks glittering the surface. They were several feet high and un-climbable. Once they entered them, they could either keep moving forward or decide to turn around and go back the way they’d come. To put things more clearly, once entered, their choices were extremely limited. Elodie hoped they had not made a mistake in trusting Lulu. So far, she had not done anything that indicated she wished to kill them, but maybe that was because she was playing the long game.

“I don’t like this,” Cale ground out. “What if we’re walking into a trap?”

Things Elodie had considered, but she did not want him to question her decisions. She had her own trust issues to contend with where he was concerned. She still didn’t fully understand what he was up to with her stepmother, and if or why he had betrayed her.

“Then we will deal with it when it happens,” she replied.

“How can you be so blasé about all of this?” he asked. “We’re following a bird. There is nothing normal about anything happening here.”

Elodie glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He was so handsome and strong. Why did he have to break her heart? What reason did he have to collude with Fiona and work against her? She had always believed he was on her side and that his agreement to train her was part of his unquestioning loyalty to her. Had all of it been a part of Fiona’s plans? Had any of it been real? Until she understood his actions, she could not place her trust fully in him again. She might need him to escape the hellish world they were trapped in, and for that, she was willing to use him. His skills were all she wanted from him. The rest could be damned.

“That bird is the reason you’re here walking beside me. Show her some respect,” she demanded. “As far as normal—I’m not sure what that even is. I’ve had to adapt to so much in my short life. This is one more thing to add to that list.”

Cale remained quiet. His bodily reactions gave away his thoughts. He clenched his fist at his side and the muscles in his cheek twitched. Elodie was certain if she could see into his eyes he’d have a hard glint reflecting back. She couldn’t blame him entirely for that. The world they were trapped in was harsh and determined to kill them.

“Do you know where we are?” he finally asked.

She shrugged. “Not exactly. The little I’ve been able to ascertain is its some kind of nightmare induced world.”

Lulu floated over them and landed on Cale’s shoulder. The bird seemed to like the knight and had attached herself to him several times—something Cale had not found amusing. She pecked at his ear and he attempted to swat her away.
