Capítulo 40: Chapter 40: Rapture

Matthias was contrite and chagrined after Callie woke him up from the sleeping spell. None of them wanted to talk about the illusion the forest created to mess with them so they continued walking until they finally made their way out. Callie was surprised to find two dune buggies waiting for them.

“Where did you get these?” she asked as she got into the buggy with Nicholas and Finnegan curled up on her lap.

Matthias slid into the backseat with Bishop and replied, “My dad knows a guy.”

She stared at him in disbelief. Nicholas turned on the engine and began driving them away. Aubrey was driving the other buggy with Enoch and Nadia. They sped through the sand and would make it the gate in half the time on foot.

Nicholas seemed to be a competent in driving the buggy. When she remarked on it, he explained, “Family vacation last summer. Aubrey and I went dunes racing.”
