The now “normalâ€? Kayla slowly started to cry. “I can’t,â€? she said. “I have one thing to say to you and one thing only. It’s a riddle. You need to listen.â€?
“Anyone who enters here will
Face the consequences of their actions.
Doesn’t matter if they meant no harm
They’ll suffer painful breaks and fractions.
The daylight shrouds
The true dark lives
Of darkened clouds,
And crowded hives
Of broken souls
And crooked smiles,
Of burning coals
And crocodiles.
Will they rip you to parts?
Or swallow you whole?
Will they eat your heart?
Or maul your soul?
Where sleep can walk
And sleep can talk
And foot steps mark the time
You’ll have to find
The reason why
You soul’s trapped in with mine.â€?
She walked over to him, and grasped his shoulder so tightly that he had to close his eyes. When he opened his eyes, Kayla was gone.
