Chapter 146: Leigh
"You want to go out on a date with me sometime?" I asked.
"Yeah." He uncrossed his arms to reveal his trembling hand, as well as his heart. "I do."
With my feet a little lighter, we set off once again.
Our steps crunched over gravel, the only sound in an eerily quiet night. Even the red lightning crackling through the sky kept silent without any echoing booms to chase after the boiling clouds. The farther we walked past the video store and down the split road, the dimmer the Sorceressi's blue eyes grew. They weren't following us. Yet.
Up ahead, blue lights swirled from the top of another police car that jutted at an angle from inside the concrete. Around it, a large hole had formed from one end of the street to the other. We crept toward the car, but since the graveyard was on the other side, we were going to have to eventually cross over somehow. We didn't have time to find an alternate route.
