The detour
After a few minutes of winding on unfamiliar roads, they came across a wrecking town.
The sign Harrows Ridge seemed like it was there far longer than it should have. The place was unnervingly pushing pressure of uneasiness and uncomfortableness on them; the air was heavy, breathing getting harder and harder in every step they took.
Despite the eeriness of the town, people were well kept and elegantly dressed. They welcomed them warmly as Peter announced about the newbies.
As they were introducing each other, an elderly looking woman approached through the crowd.
" Oh! I'll be going then see you around! " Peter hurried through the crowd as the lady approached.
" Welcome to the Harrows Ridge dears " her thin polite smile following her words
" I am the head mistress or u call the chief of this town. You can call me Linda. "
Marry looked at the others in confusion and returned back to the face of the chief.
" It's an honor to meet you umm Linda " she smiled flowing with nerves.
" Is that cake? I gotta say that I would like a bite" Ethan suddenly asked nosing the air; totally out of the place.
Linda looked at the sky chuckling at Ethan's sudden reawakening
" The darkness is already falling. Why don't u darlings spend the night here and go back tomorrow? U might get lost as well" she started walking through the narrow paths
" As well?.... Wait u know about them?" Kate jumped out in shock opening a path for Mary to scan the environment.
"Of course why wouldn't we?" Linda turned her head raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"We live in the same forest so isn't it obvious"
" We live in the same forest but we didn't know at least about a shadow of ur town" Ethan screeched out of curiosity supporting Kate putting Marry on the back row.
"U didn't?" Linda suddenly stopped and turned back making three of them bump into each other " But we knew about u?"
All three of them froze in utter surprise and terror
" But how?" Kate was the first to recover seeing the flashback of their conversation with Peter ' you don't know? But we know about you '.....
