Crossroads
“Claudia!” It was Gamma calling me, but I couldn’t see her. Where was I? My vision cleared as I looked around, only to realize that I was at the same unpaved road. It suddenly came to me that I was at the Crossroads.
Why were we here? Then I heard Gamma’s voice again.
“Claudia!
Claudia!”
“Where are you, Gamma?” I yelled.
I started walking around in circles, looking for her. I was about to give up when I saw her at a distance, inside the field.
“Gamma?” I shrieked in disbelief.
She walked toward me with a horrified look in her eyes. Her expression frightened me.
“Run, Claudia!” she yelled. “You don’t belong here.”
My mouth dropped in shock from what I had seen and heard. I didn’t want to run. I wanted to hold her. She said it again, but this time with more urgency.
“Run, Claudia! They’re coming for you.”
I did as told. I didn’t know why I was running or whom I was running away from, but my heart was pounding.
All of a sudden, I couldn’t breathe; I grabbed my throat, gasping for air.
