The females milled around on the flat land around the outside of the cave, and within the mouth of the cave itself.
Nick on her heels, Sasha pushed through the crowd, reminding them all to stay in their groups and to be focusing. When she got to the Gateway itself, Patty stood there waiting patiently, her own bag over her shoulder. She looked relieved when she saw Sasha and Nick.
Sasha was about to tell her to lead in, when it occurred to her that the Chimera didn't know they were coming. Not exactly. And she couldn't afford for Nick or Patty to get attacked, or set up any kind of trap by going through the gateway first.
She blew out a breath. She'd come so close to making a stupid mistake—what if she didn't catch herself next time.
