„We're doomed."

Chapter 7

"Hello? We'd like to know who you are." said a female voice.
Myron covered his face with one of his leathery wings.
He must've had fallen asleep, while he was hiding underneath the cave.
"I am Miss Sparrowhawk and you're inside my loop. I just want to know who I'm talking to."
Myron immediately pulled his wing away from his face and stared at the woman with his eyes wide open.
The ymbryne gasped. "Myron Bentham! What a surprise." She took a few steps forward, getting a closer look at him.
"But this is impossible. People said that you and your brother..."
"Died." Myron completed the sentence. "Yes, I thought that too. I was hoping it. Whatever you do, please don't report me to the ymbryne council!"
Miss Sparrowhawk giggled and the giant looked at her in confusion.
"Don't worry, I won't tell them soon." she said and looked down at a girl next to her. The girl was wearing a clown mask and could've been about 9 years old. She had red hair, which was tied up into two ponytails.
"He's going to stay? Awesome!" she said and jumped through the snow.
It was snowing a lot, which meant that this loop was set on a really cold day of winter.
A man came running up to them, picking up the little girl. He had long red hair and a small beard. And the thing that was probably most special about him- he had two snakes wrapped around him, one around his neck and one around his right arm.
"What are you doing, Emily? I thought you know you should leave Miss S alone when she's talking to...." he looked up at their new guest. "What even is that?.."
Myron cleared his throat. "Who, not what. I am Myron Bentham."
The man stared at him for a couple of seconds, while the ymbryne said: "It's okay, David. He's no one we have to worry about."
Then David decided to leave. "Well, we should leave Miss Sparrowhawk alone and let her talk to this thing."
The woman turned back to Myron and sighed. "You can stay here for as long as you want. I just don't know how long you'll endure this. It's freezing and you seem...stuck in there."
Myron tried to get out of the cave, but stopped when he noticed that it would collapse if he kept trying.
"Yes, I think so." he said, carefully looking at the cave, to make sure it really isn't about to collapse above him.
"Oh! I have an idea! It could take a while, but it's a good idea!" Miss S said and started to walk back to her house. "You can always tell us, if you need something."
And then she was gone, leaving Myron stuck inside the cave.

"I can't believe you're actually going to do this..." mumbled Desmond, while he was checking every shelf in his shop for a strong poison.
Hugh walked over to a corner of the room and picked up a crossbow.
"We could need this to inject the poison." he said and pretended to point the crossbow at something.
"Good idea, kid. How much for this crossbow?" Sharon asked, while Desmond took something from one of the shelfs, saying: "Ah! There it is!"
"You know what? You get it for free. The poison too." he said and gave Sharon a phial filled with blackish purple liquid.
"Wow. Thanks, pal." Sharon said and both of them shook hands.
Hugh handed the crossbow over to the tall man and headed outside.
Sharon placed the weapon on his back, waved at his old friend and said: "Stay save, Desmond."
Desmond nodded and waved back at him.
Now Hugh and Sharon were back on the streets, ready for wights to walk around a corner at any time.
