“Jazell, maybe we should try to go down there,” Seth said and nodded to the ground below.
I shrugged. “Why?”
“It might lead up somewhere. Plus, if Jason and Emily see it too, they might go down. It'll be easier to find each other.”
“Okay,” I said and stood up. I brushed the dirt off my pants and followed Seth, who was walking off to the side.
He went down to the left of the ledge and followed a steep path. I walked behind him and had to dig my heels in to avoid from slipping down. The path ended and Seth had to jump down to reach the bottom. He landed gracefully but almost tripped. I walked up to the edge of the path and jumped off. I flung my arms out to steady myself. Seth grinned at my clumsiness and waited for me to walk up to him. I wacked his head with the back of my hand, making his hair stick up. He smoothed it down and we walked across the flat ground.
The ground had spots of grass sticking out of sand and rock. Luckily, there was no wind down here to toss up the sand and dirt. I think I passed the spot where the Kojas had stood in my dream. I threw the thoughts out of my head and tried to think of something else. Like, where this flat plain of flatness ended.
“Where are we going, anyway?” I asked and stared at the sky. It was going to get dark soon.
He looked up at me through his hair. I could see the curved end of his lip, which met he was smiling. “Do we ever know, Jazell?”
