“Where will we go?”



Christi’s voice was small and trembled slightly as she peered over her knees at the others. To say that her day had not been going well was an understatement. Back in the cave, she had nearly had had a panic attack when she had finally looked up after Danny had left, and found that Eli was nowhere to be seen, even though he clearly sounded like he was right in front of her. The fact that the same phenomena hadn’t happened to Eric when he returned had been somewhat reassuring, but any calming effect he might have had was banished by his own panicked state. It had taken Christi… a while, before she had finally calmed down enough to leave. 



She’d retreated into herself after that, and the ride to the meeting place had passed in relative silence. She’d even managed to sleep a little bit, fitful and uncomfortable as it had been. Now, she was in a cabin with a bunch of people who, aside from Eli, she didn’t know at all or what they might want from her. 


Unfortunately, it was looking like she was likely going to be with them for quite a while. Christi didn’t know what exactly had happened in the cave, or at home, but even she recognized that it wasn’t normal, and apparently these people were able to do similar things. From what Eli was saying, there was also somebody else responsible for bringing them together. It might have been safer for Christi to just leave and live on her own, but from the way Eli was talking, she would probably end up back with these people at some point anyway. She didn’t trust them, but at this point, she might not have a choice in the matter.
