Walking through the bush wasn't even that hard, I don't know what Dylan was talking about when he described it as a 'hike'. I wasn't the most athletic person, I do like my chocolate but I wasn't obese or anything girls would call fat. We walked the last couple of meters before we reached a massive tree, how strange I thought, it was hollow.
I traced an indent with two fingers, it seemed mysterious. It was huge and the opening to the hollow area wasn't really inviting, the surroundings differed from the area, it was obvious this was a particular tree with a purpose.
He grabbed my hand and walked in side, "come on, it's ok it takes us somewhere, you'll think it's cool, trust me I still do and I have known about this since..." He stopped and really thought about this, his neutral facial expression changed to surprised, "actually, I have only know about this for almost a year now."
Suddenly my belly dropped, "what was that?!" I felt sick in the stomach.
He laughed, "it's ok you will get used to that. As you have noticed the outside has not changed, that my girl is an illusion. Trippy I know." He continued to talk about this so called 'illusion', "it's pretty much an elevator Lexi, takes you down takes you up, nothing too special really. It takes you too an underground vault, where Cameron is patiently waiting for us and has been for the past 45 minutes. There he will explain some things that may take you awhile to fully understand.
He will explain why our history room is interfering with our smelling senses and what you really are; Lexi you aren't who you think you are," he lifted my head up gently so I would make eye contact with him that I deliberately lost, "you aren't human Elexis."
I couldn't believe what he was saying, what a mad hatter! "Dylan what the hell are you talking about?!" He was crazy, like crazy crazy, a full on psychopath! My eyes darted around looking for an escape, I ran my hands over the sides, this confined space wasn't comforting. I wasn't just nervous anymore, I was scared.
