Cold Rain
“Luz, I’m so happy I had you as a big sister.”
Luz’s eyes welled up with tears. “No!” She cried desperately, knowing what King was about to do but still trying to convince him not to.
King looked at her sadly, but he knew what he had to do. It was to protect her. He let go of her hand.
———————————
Luz was blasted backwards, back towards the Portal Door, away from King. She reached out desperately but before she knew it she was laying on the ground. In the wet grass that was drastically different from the cold stone of the Titan’s Head. Luz jumped up and ran towards the door, but before she could open it, it closed shut with a bang. She tried to open and close it, but it did nothing. It was a useless attempt. She was left holding the door nob and staring blanking into the small house where the portal was seconds before. The connection was severed.
Luz turned back towards her friends, speechless. They were still laying on the ground, looking as shocked as she felt. The cold rain pattered on the ground, soaking their clothes. It didn’t burn, but Luz would rather face boiling rains than the look on her friends faces.
Gus started to sob and buried his head in his arms.
The realization set in. They were stuck in the Human Realm.
