The cave was dead silent, with only the distant sound of water flowing through the tunnels and our steady breathing to be heard. After the previous events with the bats, Maggie grew quiet, perhaps too tired to actually do anything.
Her usual long black curls had become an unruly mess, and it would require extra effort and patience to restore them to their normal state. She was also wearing a newly designed cape, which had several holes around it to make it even more stylish and unique, all thanks to the bats.
