Feeling Fakes

When we finally arrived at the shoreside of the frozen lake, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the same feeling when you get knowing there's only about a minute left until the school bell rings the blessed anthem of your freedom. 

One artifact left to collect, one obstacle left to overcome, and one last event to clear until it was finally all over.

The kid in me was practically squirming at his desk sat next to the window right now, barely unable to bear the allure of freedom that was just one thin glass pane away. 

"Over there," I said upon spotting a small secluded tent pitched nearby that I definitely recall never having been there early this morning. "They're funneling us indoors now… what do you think that means?"

"I don't care," Amelia offered up as her best guess, locked onto target, and already marching forward. "Like all others, it would be dealt with swiftly."

Didn't know Terminators came in vampire format now.
