Chapter 68 : Could it Last Forever

"You’re sure this is the right spot?" Jared asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded and glanced around again.

It wasn’t exactly like my vision, but I was certain this was the place.

The only problem was, there was this giant rockslide in our way.

We’d have to clear it away.

Silently, I thanked the Moon Goddess and White Queen for leaving those three pavers untouched.

Without them, I wouldn’t have recognized the location.

"It’s getting late.Why don’t we camp here for the night?"

Abe suggested.

He sighed and dropped his pack from his shoulder, stretching until his spine popped.

"Good idea.It’s too late to clear these rocks away, and I don’t see another path around," Jared agreed.

It didn’t take all that long to set up camp.

My hand wasn’t swollen or aching anymore.

I set up the tents while Jared brought water from a nearby stream and Abe got the fire started.

By the time the fire was roaring and crackling, spitting sparks into the air, the sun had sunk below the horizon.

Fireflies glowed around the camp, mimicking the sparks from the fire.

We’d gotten pretty good at setting up camp quickly, just the three of us.

Despite the seriousness of our trip, I was almost enjoying the peaceful, simple nights spent under the stars.

"I’m going to keep a lookout for the night," Abe announced.

He ducked into his tent and closed the flap.

I heard him shuffling his clothes around.

He was probably going to shift so he could rely on stronger vision and sense of smell while he took sentry duty.

"If you get tired, wake me up and I’ll relieve you," Jared offered.

Abe grunted from inside his tent.

The side poked out suddenly, like his elbow hit the fabric.

I covered my mouth, muffling my giggle in my palm.

Jared glanced sideways at me and shook his head.

"I’m probably not going to be up all night.I just want to make sure that no one is following us.And if they are, I want to get a good bead on their scent."

"Why would anyone be following us?" I asked, looking to Jared again.

"Someone messed with our packs today.But that doesn’t mean we are being followed."

He shrugged and one corner of his mouth turned down in a frown.

"Better safe than sorry," Abe said.

His tent trembled and I heard him shift.

A big, black, wet nose poked the tent flap open.

Abe’s wolf appeared.He shook himself from head to toe, his sleek, glossy fur shimmering in the firelight.He snorted out a cloud of breath and headed up the pile of rocks, nails clicking and scraping as he went.
