Esther turned to Finnegan, her eyes full of hope, waiting for him to share his plan.
But Finnegan just snorted. "Don't poke your nose into it. All you need to know is that you'll be saved." Then, he walked away back to his study, not wanting to talk more. Esther watched him go, feeling something wasn't right. She couldn't figure out why he suddenly became angry.

Richard gave her a serious look. "Have you been here before?"
Pearl shook her head. "No, never. But these houses look familiar. Wait, I

It was unlikely Richard had read a story about a college girl being kidnapped to a mountain village, but to her surprise, he nodded. "Yes, I have."
"You read that?"
Richard slowly explained, "A friend of mine wrote it and asked me to give it a read. So, I did."
