Edit: The blog WOULD have been on time if I’d set the time right. 🤦🏼‍♀️Annnd I messed up the coding. Boy do I need coffee!!!

No AC! It’s Fall! And I have new words for Wednesday. And the blog is on time because I made sure to get it set up yesterday before I pooped out. Life is good. I hope the words are too. Psst Since I won Thursday Threads two weeks ago, last week’s prompt was picked from my snippet. Normally, I don’t do a follow on scene the following week. This time, I did. So… if you need a refresher, go back and read last week’s Wednesday Words and then jump into this week’s. Oh, by the way, the prompt is: *”Have you something to add?”*

Nikos turned his icy gaze on Sinjen. “Have you something to add?”

The vampire smiled, showing a hint of fang. “Rumor has it that there’s not a lock made that can defeat a dragon.”

“Fine.” Nikos inhaled. He exhaled a torrent of fire, melting the lock.

“Never seen it done that way before,” Ariel said.

Caleb had one word. “Cool.” Then he kicked the doors. They bounced open on groaning hinges. The four men leaned forward to peer through the opening. A tunnel filled with darkness stretched before them.

“I vote the werewolf goes first,” Ariel suggested. “Caleb has the best nose for trouble.”

Sniffing the air, Caleb shrugged. “Nothing but stale air and—” He sneezed. “Mildew. I don’t think Sade and Aisling were brought this way.

Ariel produced a globe of fae light in his hand and peered at the floor. “Whose footprints then?”

Sinjen’s head jerked and he took three steps beyond the doors. “She’s in there.” He glanced at Ariel. “And she won’t be alone.”

The Fae nodded. “I know. She’ll take care of Aisling.”

“Anybody got a clue about where this goes?” Caleb, ever practical, pointed down the passage. “Is this a portal or just another one of those weird tunnels that apparently bisect most of Rochester. The magic in this place is so wild, I can’t tell widdershins from a mudra.”

Sinjen strode into the darkness. “Does it matter? Sade is this way. I will find her, with or without the rest of you.”

Time for fun and games, boys and girls. The plot thickens and all that. Writers, you know the routine. Use the prompt to free write if it will help. Readers, what would you add to the story?
