Chapter 250: Summerlands

Laci glanced up into the gray sky, not comprehending what she saw. The surrounding area looked nothing like it did before. The green grass had wilted to a burnt brown, the lake had grown a murky green, and the trees stood like lifeless husks. The birds and ducks had also vanished. The flower beds wilted. Nothing remained the same. Was she even in the right place? She looked behind her, but the bridge had vanished. Had she followed it to the Summerlands, or had she traveled someplace else?

She rubbed her fingers together as she took a tentative step, unsure of anything right then. Could the bridge have taken her to another realm? She did everything just like last time, following the red coils of demonic power wrapped around her sister, so she should be in the same place as the demons. Yet, this place looked nothing like the Summerlands.

A scream sliced the overcast sky.
