Lucidity and I nodded to DQueen that we both understood that we would go up...We turned and started to walk up the long narrow passage taking corners like members of a swat team...when we reached a hatch that was obviously a hole in the floor above I looked across the stairs to Lucidity and saw him pointing at his temple...he wanted to communicate but we both knew better than to talk...I had strange feelings like I had been in dangerous situations like this before...*Can you hear me* I thought closing my eyes and focusing...shortly later I heard *yes*...*you want to go first* I asked him...He looked across the
stairs and gave a big smile that I knew meant yes...*ok* I thought *we will go on three* Before I started counting I 'talked' to DQueen and told her not to follow until we told them to...*1.....2.....3 *creeeeeaaakkk* the rust old hinges hadnt been used in a while...I opened the trap door and Lucidity flew though the hatch silent as a soft breeze...I could barely see him perched in the rafters just inches from the cieling he nodded and I lept deftly through the hole to a spot behind some sacks of grain. The room was quiet as could be...a small light in far side of the room was all that broke the dark silence. Suddenly I caught a scent that didnt seem right...(I hadnt been able to smell much of anything since we had "arrived" in this world) my nose twitched and I looked up to Lucidity who nodded in the direction of a dark corner where something was hiding....In my mind I thought to DQueen...we sure could use someone with low light vision up here....right now...
