Wicked Without Remorse

EPISODE 6

          Vikhoune held Adam’s hand as they walked out of the room. Adam is seeing the surroundings for the first time. He realized that Vikhoune had taken him in a bunker. There were people all over the place, dressed in weird forms of clothing. Adam now knows that they are not part of a parade. They are dead men and women from various periods of time.

          Vikhoune led him to several hallways and flights of stairs until they reached a glass door. No, wait. It ain’t glass at all. It’s made of thick ice.

          "Where are you taking me?" asked Adam. Vikhoune did not respond. She pressed her hand on the door, which suddenly went ablaze. Adam removed his hand from Vikhoune’s grasp and stepped back, feeling a mix of shock and amazement.

          "Do not be afraid, Adam," Vikhoune said softly.

          Maybe it was the reassuring tone of her voice. Maybe it was the way she looked at him. Maybe it was the calmness in the way she moves. Whatever the reason, Adam knew it was safe to follow her, even as she entered the blazing door. She vanished, swallowed up by the flames.

          Adam stood there for a moment. He doesn’t know what awaits him on the other side. But he knew he had to take that step. He closed his eyes tightly and balled his hands into fists. He held his breath and plunged into the fiery gate.
