Pearl's POV
It's noon now, not that I could tell the time, but judging from how high the sun was in the sky and how hot it kinda felt on my skin, I deduced it shouldn't be that far off from noon.
I can't believe this is the life I have to live now. I was standing in the bother line of the huge forest in front of me, with Drake standing only a few meters away from me, staring intently at the woods, making me wonder what he was really thinking about that got him looking so serious.
We both were consumed with our thoughts, mine was about what he said when I had asked him about his plans of getting out of here.
He had said something about the same portal Saya and Maria both spoke of, and I couldn't stop thinking of really leaving.
Seeing my parents again, Seeing my friends Sia, Mackenzie, and Sam all made tears well up in my eyes as I couldn't help but keep wondering how they were really hoping without me...
