"We're all going to die?" Charlotte said, grabbing her own shoulders as a shiver went through her body, urging her to turn back.
She had to get out of here; it couldn't be a coincidence, not when her life was already on the line.
"Wait, sister!" the little boy said, sucking his thumb. "It's okay… the woman is… the woman is… her brain, not 100 percent?"
The little boy turned to Sunder, who had jumped out of bed and patted the kid on the head.
"He means that Tithiny there has gone through a lot. She has good and bad spells, and right now she's going through a bad one. She has her own story as to how she ended up here," Sunder said. "As do I," he added, pointing to his own eye.
"My name is Harper," the little boy said, pointing proudly to his chest.
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, and being able to talk to the others settled her down a little. Bending down to Harper's eye level, she smiled.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm Charlotte."
