Helanie:
I began to climb a little higher. I knew Norman had stayed behind, and I couldn't spot Maximus. As I moved through the trees, I noticed a large, open ground.
There were no trees there, or maybe they had been cut down. I couldn't be certain, but as I was about to step onto the clearing, I saw someone else was already there.
"Charlotte!" I groaned, stepping onto the ground. Suddenly, it felt like something shot high into the sky, like a vibration running through the air.
I turned and noticed blue lines covering the entire area of the ground, almost like twirling laser beans. I could even feel the vibrations coming from them. It didn't make any sense.
I know Darcy spoke about them, but who was controlling them? Had to be Darcy herself.
Charlotte and I exchanged a look. I could tell she didn't understand it either.
Then my attention went back to Maximus, who was now snarling and howling louder than ever. I looked up at the sky and saw the clouds gathering.
