Chapter 202: Dark stone

Julie and Roman stepped near the bridge, which Ms. Dante had got it fixed since both Julie and Melanie had returned safely from the past. She stood in front of the bridge, looking at it apprehensively, where the path held darkness. 

She felt Roman slip his hand into hers, and he tugged it, "I am with you," he said, and she slowly moved her feet to follow him. 

The bridge slightly shook as they walked, making their way through the foggy darkness. But before they could reach the other side of the bridge, Roman heard something creak from behind, and he was quick to turn around. Wondering what happened, Julie turned in the same direction, and her eyes widened on seeing the creature of the witch stand on the same side she had seen it stand before. 

"Cillian?" Julie called the Corvin's name. 

Though Julie had opened the portal voluntarily once, it didn't mean she had it on her fingertips.
