Chapter 5

“There were others like me?” he asked, hoping to find out more from Jade.

“Yes. Not many, but I help them go home.” Jade continued walking as he talked, keeping his eyes away from Marcus. He knew what the next question was. He had been asked it before, and it never got easier.

“Did they all make it home?”

Jade stopped. “No.”

He didn’t say anything else after that. He just looked away. Marcus wanted to keep asking. He needed toknow more, especially if there was a chance that something bad could happen. In the back of his mind he knew this was a possibility with everything walking around, but he let his mind trick him to thinking hewas immune. But there was something in the way that Jade looked when he answered, a sadness that his emerald green eyes couldn’t hide. Now was not the right time for answers.

They walked in silence again, until finally reaching a gathering of leaves and vines that resembled a hut. Though it was small, Marcus was impressed at the intricacy of it.
