The Bond of Light had continued to ascend the kilometres of mountain that were left. It had been a very tiring job, but they had finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. The last kilometre had to be climbed, due to the snow melting and the mountain getting steeper again.
“Indeed!” Thomas said, as he jumped down, landing steadily in a squat. “Now, let’s go find James!”
The others had to follow the determined eighteen-year-old quickly, careful not to lose him out of sight.
Both Samira and Thomas wanted to find James as quick as possible, no matter what it’d take.
Samira wanted to yell at him, scold him for being so stupid and careless, and then hold him closer than she’d ever done.
Her brother was everything to him. James was stubborn, cocky and naive, yet the smartest kid of his age you’d ever meet. Unfortunately, stubbornness in combination with naivety was the one thing for James to keep getting himself into trouble.
It’d never really been a problem back when they were younger, but now...
Thomas shook his head, blinking his sleep-deprived eyes. Sleep was for later concern. For now, they had to keep moving. Who knew what kind of trap that girl had set up for James? Unfortunately, he didn’t know. And neither did James.
