Autumn in the Dark Meadows (The Autumn Series)
“I had to get to the greenhouses.
I started toward the door but found it blocked by Grey.
“Stay here,” he pressed, his blue eyes intent on mine. “Go in back with Royal and Manny and don’t come out until the all clear bell.” He took my upper arms in his hands, and my stomach clenched. It was exactly how he held me in my dream. I was afraid to breathe. Just a dream. Just a dream, I repeated.
I shook him off with a sudden burst of strength that always eluded me in my dream. “I’m not just sit...ting by when people depend on me.”
I darted around Grey and into the deafening storm of sand and siren.
Moments later, Tess crashed into me as I threw open the door to Greenhouse A. I jumped aside as workers crowded through the doorway to see outside. Everyone plugged their ears to drown out the wailing alarm. The wind blew hard around us, whipping clouds of dirt into miniature cyclones.
We ran drills once a month, but the siren only went off for thirty seconds while we practiced our invasion routine. I looked toward the North Tower, the closest guard tower to us. A light burned at its highest point through the blowing curtain of dust.MoreLess
