“Are you going to tell me where we are going?” I asked as Soren hurried me along.
Payne and Ashley had gone on ahead to the rogue zone, leaving Soren and me alone. He seemed determined to get me where he wanted to take me and at the same time, he was doing everything he could to hide our destination from me.
“Does anything seem familiar?” he asked, instead of answering my question.
Shrugging, I looked around and shook my head.
“No. I’ve never been here, Soren. What should I be looking for?” I asked.
Soren shrugged. “You’ll know it when you see it.”
We headed off the main road into a forest. I slowed down as we got onto a forest path. Soren was still holding my hand and when I slowed down, it forced him to slow down, too.
“Something wrong?” he asked.
“I feel like I know this place,” I muttered, glancing around at the trees.
So many of them were young and still growing but I could see the charred remains of older trees overgrown with moss, grass, and vines.
