Back

Atticus experienced the same surreal feeling he usually does anytime he teleports, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes and was instantly met with the familiar scene of the camp grounds.

The towering barracks building, the abnormally wide mess hall, and the large open space were still there, exactly where he had left them.

"You're late,"

Atticus didn't have to turn to recognize the voice of the person who just spoke.

He turned his gaze over to the right to see Aurora's figure with her hands folded on her chest.

"Sounds like someone missed me a lot," Atticus's lips curled up in a smile as he teased.

Aurora instantly released a derisive snort upon hearing Atticus's words, 

"Ew, you wish!" She swiftly retorted.

"Pfft," Atticus broke into laughter as he started walking away from the obsidian floor towards Aurora, who was already looking as though she was about to erupt.
