Ethans Unsettling Connection to Sabina in the Mysterious Subterranean City
Chapter 3
Ethan was laying on his back staring up at the ceiling when he felt Sabina stir next to him. He turned to watch her as she shifted in her sleep, on the verge of waking up. He'd found it strange when he woke to the room being completely dark, the strange part was he could see even though he was still aware of how dark it was. Sabina mumbled as she slowly rose to consciousness and turned her face towards him unconsciously seeking him even in her sleep. The dim shadows danced across her face, caressing her sun kissed skin in inky satin darkness. Ethan fought down a surge of desire as he watched her and tried to acclimate himself to the weird double vision of seeing the darkness and seeing through it as the same time. It was if the darkness was a filmy screen that with a thought from him would fade away to translucency and reveal the world it hid from everyone else. He smiled at her when her eyes fluttered open, even though he knew she wouldn't be able to see him.
"Morning," he said and she smiled.
"Morning little brother," she replied.
"Ready for your first day of school," he asked and she groaned and buried her face back into the pillow.
"Come on, it is seven now if we go bathe now there shouldn't be anyone in there," he said and she perked up at the word 'bathe' but groaned again when she remembered where it was. He cajoled her out the door and woke their mother and they all headed to the bath house together. The street was dimly lit and deserted as they walked to the corner and entered the big square stone building. Like every other building they been inside in this subterranean city the inside and the outside were vastly different. On the outside it was just a large stone square nestled against the neighboring buildings, but on the inside it was beautiful. The inside appeared to be made of white marble and decorative columns lined the walls giving it the look of an ancient Greek temple. Inside the door were rows of lockers with keys that they left their stuff in after stripping down to bathing suits. Ethan wouldn't have minded going nude for bathing but he knew that neither his mother nor his sister would be comfortable with that so he kept his bathing suit on so they wouldn't be the only ones. Just past the lockers was what looked like a giant pool but it was only two feet deep, the water was steaming hot and smelled faintly of kiwi. Ethan grabbed a wash cloth and a bar of soap from the stack near THE END
