"Go!"
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Just go! I've got your friend!"
The girl who seemed to appear out of nowhere starts to weave through almost empty streets, finding her way through them and somehow no getting lost. She's helping Charli walk, but somehow still managing to jog slowly.
Finally she gets to a tunnel and dives in, jogging a bit more before going through a small door. When we enter through the door we end up in a small-ish room with a stool and some books in the corner. There are also two torches and five battery packs and a chest of drawers.
The girl slowly sets down Charli and walks towards the drawers. She then pulls out a first-aid kit and surgical spirit.
"Are you going to tell me who you are now?" I ask her while Charli winces as the girl disinfects the cut on her forehead.
"Well, first I think you should thank me, since I was kind enough to help you and your friend get out of there. So, I'm waiting."
"Thank you for being so kind as to help me and my friend get out of there. Now, will you answer my question?"
"Well, ok then. Why not? I am Tess Ebert, from the magical city of Londinium, in the magical county of Greater London, in the magical country of England, on the magical planet of Earth. You?"
"All of that but I'm Amaya and this is Charli, and I think we're in another universe."
