"One more night," Aiden said. "We'll only stay for one more night."
"I think one night is generous," said Ivan, his body trembling.
"If you want, we can leave now. But we have to hope that plant thing won't come after us when we leave," Ember stated.
He gave Ember a glare, and she shrugged.
The plant attack shook them to their core. Their understanding of the world has changed. If plants can attack people, what else might be lurking out there?
The group didn't want to leave today. Even though the danger of the plant was still very much alive, the danger of the unknown made them much more fearful. For the rest of that day, they spent their time staring out the window, packing any essentials they thought they might need, and stress eating.
The night was quiet. No one spoke. As soon as the sun went down, everyone went straight to their rooms. No one suggested an orgy or having some fun. Even Ivan was shaken after almost being lunch for an aggressive plant.
