Seeing the floor swallow him up was so unsettling, Kit forgot she was supposed to be counting. By the time she remembered, Landon and Reeve were behind her with Cassius. “You’ll be fine, Princess. We won’t let any harm befall you,” Reeve promised.
Kit smiled at him, but she had no idea how that might be possible if she was falling through the ground, and he was here. “Be careful,” she warned. All three of them nodded, and then she positioned herself on the lip of the hole and slid down so that she was sitting on the edge.
“We’ll see you soon,” Landon assured her.
Kit didn’t pull her eyes off of the opening to acknowledge him. Instead, she counted to three, crossed her arms over her body, and moved off of the edge of the floor into nothingness.
