I Do not own The Underland Series (Howard reads)
Everyone walked into the kitchen in a somber mood; even Ripred seemed to keep his mouth shut. Queen Luxa made everybody sandwiches, as they all sat down at the table in silence. Grace had been holding on to her three children in silence, not wanting them to leave her arms. The Warrior looked at Grace, wondering if she was going to ask; if she did he knew the obvious reply.
Queen Luxa put a platter of different sandwiches in the middle of the table. She went and sat next to The Warrior as he reached for her hand, and intertwined their fingers under the table.
The silence was broken by Grace asking, "A-am I alive?"
Gregor sighed and was about to reply, when he was interrupted by a knock. Everyone looked towards the door as it opened slowly and a boy who looked to be fourteen stepped in the room. He looked about 5'4" and was shifting nervously from foot to foot. He had black hair that was curled around his face and lime green eyes. He was pale; he looked like an Overlander except for the pale skin.
"Hazard!" Queen Luxa exclaimed in joy as she ran up to hug him.
The boy, Hazard, laughed. "Hey, Luxa!"
The Warrior chuckled, "So, joining us?"
Hazard nodded, "Yup, I'm coming up soon."
The Warrior got up and gave Hazard a hug with a pat on the back. "Good to see you."
Everyone watched as they interacted, wondering who this person was that they knew so well.
"Oh! Everyone, this is Hazard." Queen Luxa introduced.
Hazard sheepishly rubbed his cheek, "It's kind of weird, seeing you all so young."
There were scattered chuckles, but it became awkward after that.
"Why don't we all continue reading?" Queen Luxa asked, breaking the silence.
Everyone nodded, agreeing as Hazard was sneaking glances at Lizzie and turning a bright red. They went back to the living room and Hazard sat in between The Warrior and Queen Luxa. Howard eyed that a bit, but shrugged and picked up the book.
"Part 2: The Jungle."
