He approached it.
"That's impossible."
Scarlet looked at it.
"Please tell me we're not going to open another mysterious door."
"We need to get back to the village," Serena said.
Jude reached for the handle.
Sol suddenly stepped in front of him.
"Wait."
"What now?"
"Listen."
They became silent.
At first, Jude heard only the faint humming of the underground chamber.
Then came a familiar sound.
A cooking pot being placed on a wooden table.
Footsteps.
Someone humming a little tune.
And then a woman's voice.
"Jude? Are you coming? The food is getting cold."
Jude recognised it immediately.
It was Layla.
His hand fell away from the handle.
Serena looked at him.
"That sounds like her."
Sol shook his head.
"It's not."
"How do you know?" Scarlet asked.
"Because she's here."
He pointed towards the closed door at the end of the corridor.
The name LAYLA was still visible.
A soft knocking came from behind it.
Three times.
Then a pause.
Three more.
