WantNovelChapter 607
Sarah carefully closed the window, making sure to secure the latch. Her expression grew serious - there would be
no escaping this storm.
The rain finally began to fall. The yellowed light bulb in the room provided her with a small sense of warmth and
security.
The patter of rain drummed steadily against the roof, striking the tiles heavily. Silence enveloped everything
except for the dancing raindrops.
Though Sarah's room was dilapidated, at least it had tile roofing. In West Ridge, while most homes used tile
roofs, spoorer residents had earthen shelters - structures made of packed soil and straw that would likely
dissolve into mud after a heavy rain.
Lightning flashed and thunder rolled as the downpour intensified. Water collected along the eaves, forming thick
droplets that fell continuously.
Brilliant flashes illuminated the entire landscape as the rain grew heavier.
BOOM!
A massive thunderclap made Sarah's heart jump. Despite being prepared, fear still gripped her.
The lightning's reflection through the window revealed every detail of the shabby
room.

She wrapped the blanket tightly around herself, trying to ward off the nightmarish storm.
But what Sarah had worried about happened. The old room should have been safe aside from sdampness
and occasional insects or mice.
Then a drop of water hit her head, the cold shock making her jolt.
A second drop landed on her nose, and a third on her hand.
The roof was leaking.
"It's leaking," she said, looking up at the ceiling where, in the yellowish light, she could see a continuous line of
water droplets.
Sarah wiped the water from her face and quickly moved her bedding to the other side, making sure none of it
got wet.
She carefully rolled up the tattered bamboo mat beneath her bedding and grabbed a basin from near the door,
placing it under the leak. The sound of water hitting the basin was loud, splashing drops everywhere.
Sarah placed a damp cloth under the basin to muffle the sound. That was better.
Unfortunately, the decaying structure, meeting such a powerful storm, couldn't possibly have just one weak
spot. Just as Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, another cold raindrop landed on her face.
Her heart sank like it had fallen into an icy pit. She understood Charlie wanted to make things difficult for her,
but would he really risk someone's life if the building collapsed?
Sarah quickly searched for more containers to catch the rain, but there weren't enough for all the leaks.
The room was becoming like a water cave. Sarah grabbed her phone to keep it dry.
Water fell near the bed, flowing into a large crack in the floor.
She leaned against the wall - her last line of defense.

In this moment, she was transported back to the mountain where she'd been tied
