“Claire, I’ve something to do and I’ll need to go to Germany … you stay here and wait for me, okay?“ “I’ll go with you!” Claire blurted.  “Very well.”… 

In no time, Claire and Chris were in the plane, heading towards Germany.  Chris stared out of the window, where the clouds beneath him swirled about wildly, Chris watch tensely as he had never seen something that soothing since god knows when.  The clouds finally came to a stop and faded away… but in its place, was Jill’s face, smiling at him…  “Where could you be?” Chris mumbled.  “What are you thinking about, Chris?” Claire asked as she noticed her brother’s expression.  “Nothing much, just an old friend…”

On reaching the airport, Chris hailed for a taxi and both of them got into it.  “The large field at the eastern outskirts.” The taxi driver nodded and took off.  Soon enough, a large field appeared before them, Claire gasped in shock.  It wasn’t the field that was shocking; it was the totally abandoned tower in the middle of it.  “Is this your hideout?” Claire whispered to Chris.  “Yes.”

They paid the taxi driver and got off immediately, Chris suddenly felt lighter by a lot, it was his wallet!.  As no roads lead to the tower, only walking across the field could one reach it.  Upon reaching the tower, Chris couldn’t help but notice there was a gigantic boulder near the door, he wondered why it was positioned there… 

He tried to push open the door, but it seemed to be locked from inside… 

“Give me a hand, Claire!”  They slammed their bodies against the door once, twice, and “Bamm!”  it went down flat.  As light poured into the musty place, Claire screamed…

To Claire
