Haven: Revenge of the Viper (27 page)

Authors: D.C. Akers

Sam broke from his reverie, pursed his lips, and nodded that he was fine. He wasn’t sure what it was that he was seeing but he knew one thing—he wasn’t going to find the answers on this side of the mirror. It was time to go.

“Ok, your turn. I’ll take up the rear,” Sam said as loudly as he could.

“No, Sam you go!” Travis replied. “I got this!”

“I’ll be fine. I’ll be right behind you,” Sam said, patting him on the back.

The boys looked at one another as the sound of the humming of the mirror flooded their senses. Travis gave Sam one final grin and a thumbs-up before turning and walking, head down, into the mirror. With a small ripple, Travis was gone and Sam was left standing all alone. He edged closer to the mirror and apprehensively placed a single finger into the rippling forest. To his surprise, it was cool to the touch and not wet like he had expected. The ripples moved from around his finger out in small circles that expanded to the edges of the frame. Sam pulled his finger back and stared into the moonlit forest.

“I can do this,” he said to himself. He swallowed hard and hitched up his backpack. Then he lowered his head and stepped forward into the world called Haven.
