Rufus' POV:

Some of the kids screamed, their fear raw and palpable in the air.

"Be quiet," I said in a hushed voice.

Thankfully, most of them did as told. Their sobs became quieter, though they never really stopped. I felt a pang in my chest as I realized that the poor children were doing their best to stifle their weeping. "Remember, you must not tell anyone that I was here, okay? If we meet again in the future, just pretend that you've never seen me before."

I paused, unable to leave despite myself. "Don't be afraid," I added. "I promise to come back soon and save all of you. But for now, I need you to wait. Can you do that for me?"

I saw several heads bob timidly, and that was all I needed. I pushed past the door and walked out of the room.
