"R-Raven, what should we do?"
Claire's panicked voice came from behind him.
Raven turned toward her and shook his head.
"There's no way out. We can only wait until that monster leaves on its own," he said helplessly as he walked over to her and sat down beside her.
Claire let out a long sigh and rested the side of her face against his shoulder again.
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry."
"What are you saying? How could I possibly blame you?"
Raven laughed as he patted her head.
"It's my fault. I made you worry and misunderstand, and now we're stuck like this. Don't blame yourself."
Claire's heart warmed when she heard that. She closed her eyes and thought back to her days with Raven, Rose, and Melissa.
Those days had been wonderful. She was afraid they had all been nothing more than a dream. But thankfully, they weren't.
Boom!
A flash of lightning lit up the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder.
Claire flinched and quickly hid her face against his chest.
