„We're doomed."

Chapter 13

Miss Sparrowhawk led Brianna and Fernando outside, while they were putting on their jackets.
"Thanks for having us, Catherine!" said Brianna and put her hand on the ymbryne's shoulder.
"No problem! You can always come to visit me!" said Miss S, smiling. "Also, you talked to him about it, right?"
The ymbryne looked into Myron's direction. She didn't want him to be stuck in here forever.
"What? Oh yeah, we did. But he still didn't say yes..." Brianna turned around and said: "But we'll leave now. I'm sure he's going to tell us, if he wants to."
Then she and Fernando wandered off and Miss Sparrowhawk waved at them.
They just wanted to leave the loop, when Myron spoke up.
"I changed my mind!" he said and both of them turned around, smiling. "I...I'll come with you."
Brianna nodded, while Fernando just smiled.
"So be it! Also...nice sweater." she said, looking at the thing Miss Sparrowhawk made for him and laughed slightly.
Fern and Brianna walked past him to the exit. Miss Sparrowhawk smiled at them and kept waving, while Myron tipped his little hat. Then he carefully pushed himself out of the cave, trying not to let it collapse.

All three of them got out of Miss S' loop and Brianna took off her sunglasses, turning around to the other two.
She had white eyes.
Myron backed away as far as he could, since a part of him was still underneath the cave.
"You're a wight?!" he shrieked.
Bri pointed at Fernando. "He too. Don't worry, Catherine knows about it." she said as if it was nothing serious.
"Shouldn't you be- I mean, why are you- I don't understand." Myron stared at them confused.
"There are more of us. We two are from a small group. Some of us had enough of Caul's plans, so we decided to turn against him." she explained. "Now. My friend Fern right here forgot his plane at our head quarter, so maybe you could take us away from here?..."
"I'm a pilot." said Fernando, raising his hand and putting it down in the next moment.
"How can I trust you?" said Myron and looked at them in mistrust.
"The real question here is, how can we trust you?" asked Brianna and grinned at him.
"Fine." Myron sighed, stood up and bend down to them, holding out his hand.
The two wights walked up on his hand and then he began to head in the direction, they told him to go.

Bronwyn, Millard and Enoch didn't really know where to go. But Midnight King of Darkness knew.
"When or where did you even learn how to ride a horse?" asked Bronwyn, who sat behind the two boys.
"I never did." Enoch replied and shrugged.
Millard and Bronwyn looked at each other.
"Okay then..." she said and looked around. "I hope your horse knows that we're taking the wrong way. We have to get back to the wight's fortress."
"No. We should get a plan first." said Millard. "Also, I need some clothes. It's getting a little cold."
Enoch and Bronwyn sighed in unison.
"Okay, then we should try to get clothes somewhere."
