Jasmine followed right behind them while Anna who was very much skeptical followed like a scared cat.
They went through the catacombs and finally went to a door that led up to a long stairway.
It was dark and hollow and it was also spiral.
They walked on ahead after the two witches.
Anna grabbed Jasmine’s arm.
"I don’t like this." Anna said. "Let’s go back."
"We’ve come so far for us to go back." Jasmine said. "I need to know who I am."
"To know who you are?" Anna whispered back sharply. "By the time they kill us and use us for their potions, there won’t be any need for you to know who you are will there?"
Jasmine shook her head. "They are not doing to do that to us."
Anna gasped annoyed. "You are so certain of them. Like you know them before. We do not know these people and we should be heading back home."
Anna started to go back down the stairs.
Jasmine grabbed her arm.
"You are not going to ruin this for me Jessica." Jasmine warned.
"It’s Anna now!" Anna hissed and she grabbed her arm away from Jasmine.
She looked down and saw that it had a burning print. "You hurt me you stupid girl!"
The other two women had noticed the ruckus and seen that they were not following up to them yet.
"Is everything alright down there?" They asked.
"Yes." Jasmine called up. "We would be up Just in a bit."
Jasmine turned to look at Anna with rage written all over her face.
"You want to go? Fine. Go ahead." Jasmine said and started to ascend back up the stairs.
"I would tell my brother you dragged me here and intended on kidnapping and selling me off when I get back to the camp." Anna threatened. "This is not going to be the first or second time that I have set you up and you always get into trouble for it and I will do it again.
Jasmine turned back to her and gave her a wry smile. "Fine. Do it. Do whatever makes you happy but today you would not come in between me and my own self discovery. You were the one who sneaked up on me and insisted that you come along not me. So deal with the repercussions of your actions."
And Jasmine turned back up the stairs and followed up.
Anna stood at the spot very skeptical and too much of a coward to go back Alone.
Who knew what she would face or how would she even find her way back.
She rushed back up after Jasmine after she decided that hanging around Jasmine was going to be a much better idea.
She said nothing once she caught up with them because her pride won’t let her.
After about five minutes of climbing the stairs, they finally came to a doorway and stepped in.
They were in an open space that looked like a gazebo.
The windows were without glasses and it simply formed an archways.
Anna looked down to see how far up they had gone.
