Chapter 136

3rd Person

“It can’t be locked!” Riley insisted. “We just got ins!”

“Maybe it locked aut-auto… you knows, on its own.”

Paisley guessed, unable to navigate her tongue around the big word.

“Maybe,” Riley agreed. “But eithers way, we’re definitely moving” The trunk was rocking back and forth, and they could hear footsteps outside.

1 thinks we’re being carried?” Paisley whispered nervously.

“Do you thinks the boys are moving too?” Riley wondered.

“I dunno.” Paisley frowned, distracted when the trunk stilled with a sudden jolt, and a strange rumbling filled the air. “Wha’s that noise?”

Riley leaned up to the keyhole in the wooden siding, trying to peer through.”l sees the other trunk!” She shared excitedły. “But we’re not in the street anymore.”

Even as she spoke, they jerked forward again, banging their slight shoulders into the walls of their wooden enclosures. “Where are we then?” Paisley whimpered.

“You’re not going to like it.” Riley told her, gazing around the dimly lit space outside.

“Why nots?” Paisley questioned with trepidation.

“Cuz I think we’re in the back of a truck… or van.” She guessed. “lt looks kinda like the van Anita had us in, only there’s much nicer things” Indeed, the back of the strange vehicle was full of clothing racks and painted set pieces, not that the child recognized these items. All she saw was sparkly fabric and what looked like painted tapestries.

“But Mommy and Daddy are back in the cloud city!”

Paisley all but wailed, “we can’t be going someplace else!”

Riley wrapped her arms around her sister, leaning her small head against Paisley’s. “I don’t think we have a choice.”

She confessed. “l think we’re going someplace new, whether we likes it or not.”

In the other trunk, Ryder and Parker were having much the same conversation. They’d noticed they were moving just as quickly, and also tried to escape their confines. For a moment they’d been afraid they were back on a boat, the way they were rocking about, but thankfully that ceased before either could be sick. Instead they found themselves lurching to a stop before the engine began and the van set off.
