Chapter 144: A Paper Queen

As soon as we're back in the Oasis, Thane suddenly stops and scoops me up over his shoulder! I grab on and bite out "What the hell!?" He speeds back to the house before knocking three times on the front door. As soon as the door unlocks and opens, he rushes in and says "Lock the door."

He walks straight to our room and kicks the door shut behind us before putting me down on the bed. A small knock on my door can be heard before Fern asks "Is everything okay?" Thane is quick to answer "Yes, we will be out in a minute." 

Fern hesitates for a moment before walking away from the door. I look up at Thane with a 'What the hell!?' look and wait. He pushes his black hood back and slowly begins walking back and forth in the room in silence.
