Jerlina turned to look at the entrance of the tunnel. "Ah," Jerlina muttered seeing Jeremy emerging out and she didn't have to think to walk towards him.

"Shall we rest a bit?" she asked but his eyes looked empty and his breathing seemed to be labored. "Joel?" she tried to hold his hand but as if he touched fire, he zipped his hand away from her. Jerlina noticed that the finger she accidentally grazed upon twitching a bit.
