Sky Dust

Chapter 35

Vivia shook the plank, making it open up a little more. The sparkling snow flashed into Spencer's eyes as he waited.

She stood on the plank. It cracked loudly.

"Oh, by the way, did I mention?" She turned around and headed towards Spencer. "Fadessa's helping us."

"Yeah?"

"Yes. They're going to take in refugees and give us accommodation and things."

"Wow."

"Yes. After we escape, we're going to a refugee home. You too," she smiled at him as she stepped on the plank again. It broke completely, and she disappeared below. Spencer looked down, laughing.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, but don't be so loud."

She gestured him to come, and he moved down carefully. Soon he lost control and just tumbled on the snow, unable to get up. Vivia giggled as he bowed his head. He crawled to the exit.

The light blinded him, but he took another step without seeing where he went. Spencer turned around to see if Vivia was okay. She was standing next to the trailer and silently pointing right. They both headed there. Spencer noticed that it was only dawn, and the light was coming from the sun on the horizon.

"They're all sleeping," Vivia explained. "Going to wake up later."

Spencer nodded, trying not to crack snow as he went. Vivia somehow managed to do so, - he could barely hear her steps.

They went out of the camp. It was then when the huge trailer in the distance became visible. It was a silhouette, covered by the sun.

Vivia started running. Spencer took it as a challenge and followed her. Usually he would feel tried while running, but now, he just felt free. His feet moved as if he was flying, and once he stopped, the trailer was closer.

Someone laughed behind him. Vivia was cleaning her face from the hair and giggling, holding her stomach with her other hand. Through everything else, he saw blue and dark red sparkles on her waist. The sky dust was safe.

They kept walking at a normal pace. Vivia stopped and untied the pouch that was glowing red. Spencer gave her a surprised look.

She handed it to him.

"Here. You found it first."

Spencer cracked up as he took the pouch. He tied it to his belt, and when he looked up at Vivia, she waited patiently.

When he was ready, he noticed that the trailer was a lot closer. A group of people was gathered next to it. Vivia sighed, hugging Spencer.

"I'm so happy we're staying together."

"Me too," was all he managed to say before he turned his attention to the sparkles of blue and red next to him.
