Chapter Fourteen

Edmund

The journey back to town was uneventful. The best thing that could have happened. Despite the fact that we went there during the day, there seemed to be no one around there for miles. Bianca led us through a torn wire fence, which was once electric, but not any more. Then, she showed us the way through the dilapidated building, all the way to the cellar.

“Is there only one entrance?” I ask, as we descend down dark stairs.

“I think there should be another one,” she informs me, following closely behind.

“That’s good,” I murmur to myself, thinking that we can’t stay here if there is only one entrance.

One entrance means that there is only one exit, and one exit means that we can be trapped in there by the shifters, if something unplanned happens.

“I need you to show it to me,” I tell her. She nods.

We keep walking through the damp cellar, armed with flashlights that provide enough light so we can see where we are going. This is the last place where I would want to stay. Moldy, smelly. Even a minute down here feels like a whole hour, but this is the best option we’ve got.

Finally, we reach a clearing, and to our luck, it seems as if someone before us already had a similar idea. There are several makeshift beds, tables, chairs.

“I see a generator there,” Kano points out.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I shake my head. “It might turn on lights upstairs, which might bring on unwelcome visitors. We’ll stay with our flashlights for the time being. Hopefully, we won’t need to stay here very long.”

I stand, looking around. I can tell the guys aren’t too thrilled to be here. I know. Neither am I, but this is the best thing we’ve got. The guys start unpacking our stuff without even being told to, so I turn to Bianca.

Her face is illuminated by the flashlights around, and her features have somehow softened. She looks exactly like she looked that first night when I saw her, when I defended her. She resembles a frightened child. Her eyes are big and wide, as if they don’t trust the world, but she is still here, still willing to keep going, even though she doesn’t know where she will end up.

“Can you show me where that other exit is?” I ask.

She nods, then starts going in the direction where we were already heading. Our footsteps are echoing in the darkness around us. She slows down a little, so we can walk alongside each other.

“You know, I’ve been thinking about that well,” she says unexpectedly.

“What about it?” My voice echoes all around us.

“I’ve heard many stories about it,” she continues, and our footsteps fill the gaps between her words. “I never thought it was even real.”

I sigh. “I know.”

“But then… I remembered something,” she suddenly says, stopping immediately. I do the same. She turns to me. “It came to me in a dream.”

“What did?” I ask again, wondering what it is she could be referring to.
