Silver (Wicked Woods #3)
““Briony, we can’t stay here. The dragon might be back.”
Briony shook her head. “He won’t be back.”
“We don’t know that,” Kevin said.
“We do.” It was so obvious to Briony now. “He did what he came here to do. He kept us from going through after Aunt Sophie.”
Shaking free of Jake’s grip, she went back to where the gate had stood. There was nothing to see there. No flattening of the grass where the stone arch had stood. No dew on it as the aftermath of the mist. Even the signs of their struggle in... front of it were fading. It seemed that this clearing was a place that wanted to keep its secrets.
“There has to be some way of opening it again,”
Fal on said, moving up beside her. “Maybe if we try drinking from the stream again?”
Briony was wil ing to try it, because it would be stupid to overlook something that obvious, but somehow she knew things wouldn’t be quite that easy. The dragon wouldn’t have left them alone there if it was. Even so, she knelt by the stream, cupping cool water in her hands and raising it to her lips.MoreLess
