Their heads jerked violently as they crawled through the darkness below. Tess covered her mouth. “Oh my God…” One creature slowly lifted its face toward them.

In the heat of that moment, she noticed her glasses also played a part in her inability to see where she was going. The rush of adrenaline forced her off the floor, her face redder than blood in embarrassment and something else, something lethal. She groaned as her hand went up to her hair-covered forehead. Something seems to be oozing out from there and it hurts like a bitch. She lifted her eyes off the floor and gasped when she saw the view in front of her. Hanging on the wall is the gorgeous brunette in white, now completely bare with Wilhelm in between her thighs; ass stacked naked. They seemed to be joined to form one body. The jeans she had admired earlier were now gathered around his

I bite the inside of my cheek, “I want to understand, Gloc. So much. But you’re being so vague.” “I mean literally, Amara.” He says, letting go of me and crouching down. I follow suit, crouching near him. He places both of his hands, palm first on the ground. “There’s an underground maze 30 feet below us. It starts at the capital, and it extends right through Verdant and Azure. I don’t know much about the places; all I knew is the place where I have been.” I blink, “What? How did…what- “

On the large bed, his tall and lithe body was outlined beneath the covers. Cynthia swallowed. Just thinking that this man would be sleeping under the covers wearing only a pair of briefs caused her heart to race.

Just spritzed herself with cheap perfume on her way out the door. It was far too late to stress about body odor now as she eyed the passageway before her. Fuck, this place was massive. Stone tunnels and doors as far as she could see. Amber wondered how many miles beneath The Fringe these tunnels went. It wouldn’t surprise her if it ran the whole length of The Fringe, this network of underground passageways. Like the catacombs intertwined deep beneath the Paris streets. There were also probably bodies down here as well. Maybe encased in the concrete, like a mortar to help hold its walls together. Kept it from crumbling.

Her bare feet immediately meeting the cold stone ground beneath her, sending shivers all over her body. There's no going back now.

The building is quiet around me, the particular quiet of a place that feels larger at night, all stone and shadow and the distant sound of wind finding gaps in old windows. I am three steps from the dormitory door when I pass the long mirror mounted beside the equipment lockers. I stop.
