Leslie steps up to the black seeming wall and hesitates for only a moment before stepping through. I barely hear a sigh of relief from her as I smile at the other women.
Seeing Tina standing there, I ask, "Will you be all right here for a bit?"
No, bring her as well, one of the aliens sends to me at the same time Tina nods that she will be fine.
"Umm, never mind," I say, feeling foolish. "I guess they want you too." Holding out my hand to her, she takes it and gives it a gentle squeeze.
Turning to walk into the blackness, I end up bumping into the slim backside of Leslie. My eyes adjust quickly as I murmur an apology, then lead Tina around her. Tina gasps as she steps into what must seem like impenetrable darkness.
"Come with me, please, Leslie," I say, stepping a little harder than necessary as I start walking so she can follow the sound.
"You can see in this?" Tina asks, fear evident in her tone.
"Yes," I answer simply.
