Matthew explained to Max about what Valerian had warned them of.

"Why....can't she just TAKE us to whoever this guy is?" Max wondered.

Matthew shrugged. "I don't know, I think she's scared of him...or....her."

Max scoffed. "Okay, so why would she send us over if this individual is dangerous?"

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Matthew wheezed. "I know, right?"

The boys finished talking to him about what else the witch has told them.

"It's starting with you, Max. That's why we have to move, quickly before time runs out."

Max's shock caused him to be speechless.

Zackary ushered them to keep moving.

The darkness in the sky was slowly making its presense known. The three friends found a spot under a thick tree to nestle down for the night.

Max's head filled with worry as he tried to fall asleep.

He forced the voices in his mind to stop talking, until he finally was able to lull himself to sleep.
