Before she could get confused, she deliberately made another mark with a 2 under it in the place where she’d just discovered the doubling.
Her heart kicked in hard. Just how much danger she truly was in became suddenly, painfully obvious. This was no longer about Leon. If she lost track of her back trail, if she became lost, there’d be no way to get out. She needed to head back directly.
She realized suddenly how thirsty she was, but because she’d arrogantly assumed she would only be down for an hour or so, she hadn’t thought to bring anything to drink. Unbelievable, she thought. How stupid could she get? Had she learned nothing about preparation or caution being Matrarc?
She struck back along the path she’d taken, crossing off each mark as she retraced her steps. She went carefully, deliberately taking the time at each intersection to check each tunnel for faint green marks to be certain she wasn’t missing any.
When the 2 appeared before her again, she became seri...ously scared.MoreLess
