Madeline:

We arrived shortly after, and the first thing I did was ask Graham if Baxter had left any messages on his phone.

He checked and told me that Baxter had given Gina another dose of wolfsbane after the last one wore off, and that she was sleeping.

I worried that so much wolfsbane might hurt her, but it had only been half an hour, so I hoped it would be fine.

Still, we didn’t know how much more time we could afford to waste while searching for the right cave, there were several scattered across the mountain.

We started trekking up the slope. It was easy for Graham, but I was already wheezing.

“Do you want to take a break?” he asked, holding out a bottle of water.

I shook my head quickly.

“No, I don’t want to waste time,” I said, though I could barely catch my breath. Even if I wanted to keep moving, my legs refused.

“I’ll go ahead and start looking. By the time you get there, you can check the other caves. What do you say?” Graham suggested.

It was a smart idea. Once we reached the top, there would be too many caves to cover alone.

With his wolf’s strength, he could find something faster than I could.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. You go ahead. I’ll catch up,” I replied, letting him know it was fine.

The moment he heard me, he took off. His speed caught me off guard, though I shouldn’t have been surprised.

He was an alpha, strong and capable even before, and now, years later, even more powerful.

Within seconds, he disappeared from sight. I kept climbing, stopping only to drink water and make sure I didn’t slow down too much.

It took me about twenty minutes to reach the top. I dropped to my knees, hands on them, trying to catch my breath when I saw Graham stepping out from behind a cluster of tall trees.

“Did you check the caves?” I asked, breathing hard.

“Yeah. I covered most of that area, but there’s one cave that caught my attention,” he replied hastily. “I came back to get you so we can check it together.”

From the look on his face, I could tell he had found something important, or dangerous.

“What do you mean the cave is suspicious? Didn’t you go inside to check?” I bombarded him with questions right

away.

It would’ve saved time if he had just gone in instead of coming back for me.

“Actually, that’s the problem,” he explained as we neared the spot. “There’s something you need to see. I couldn’t look inside, and that’s why I thought it was strange.”

The cave wasn’t far from where I had climbed. Graham led me there and pointed toward it.

The entrance was blocked. Not just that, it looked more like an underground tunnel than a cave.

The narrow opening was sealed off, and from the small gap we could see through, it seemed to lead underground.

“Oh. Then maybe that’s not it,” I said, confused.

Graham gestured for me to step back so he could move the large rock covering the entrance.

I stepped aside, trusting his strength completely. He started pushing at the boulder.

Even though it was solid and heavy, he managed to shove it aside with force.

The moment the opening was clear, I hurried forward but stopped instantly. There was another wall behind it, just as we suspected.

It wasn’t a regular cave, it was hiding another chamber below. The second entrance was sealed too, leaving only a small slit open.

“Oh no,” I muttered. “Maybe there’s nothing in there.”

But before my words could settle, a faint, trembling voice echoed from deep within the tunnel.

“Help me,” it was a meek and full of misery tone.

The sound froze me in place, and I saw Graham’s ears twitch at the same moment.

Graham and I exchanged a tense glance before turning on our phones‘ flashlights, trying to see through the small

gaps

in the rocks.

“Who is it?” I called out.

“Huh? Somebody’s there?” a frail voice answered.

Then it came again, the same voice, older this time.

An old man.

Just like the children had said.

“We’re here to help you,” I called back. “You’ve been appearing in our children’s dreams, haven’t you?”

I waited for his reply, my heart pounding. Thankfully, no other children had shown up yet. Maybe the warriors had intercepted them on the road.

“I don’t know,” the man said weakly. “I’ve been stuck here for so long. I’ve been calling for help. How did you find me?”

I looked at Graham, both of us confused and stunned.

“Like I said,” I replied, kneeling and pressing my palms against the cold ground. “You came into our children’s dreams. That’s how I found you.“.
