The arrival of Jake and Will delighted their companions, but there was one person among them who looked dull and didn't dare look them in the eye: Kyle.

"No need to sit down, we were waiting for you to get out of here. "Sarah merrily exclaimed, not hiding her relief at leaving this place.
As Jake looked at Enya and her sister's expression, he realized that they too were uncomfortable in this cafeteria and clearly upset. The few soldiers sitting at other tables were staring at them with taciturn faces and the atmosphere seemed rather tense.
"I missed something? "Jake questioned them, smelling gunpowder in the air, ready to explode any second.
Today it's exactly one year since I published my first chapter of The Oracle Paths on Webnovel. :)
(No bonus chap, though. Sorry)
