Underworlds #2: When Monsters Escape - Plot & Excerpts
To get to the top, we had to climb straight up an iron ladder that was dripping with cold rainwater. “Wherever the Cyclopes are hiding,” Dana said, clinging to the rungs below me, “the tower will give us the best view.” Sydney chuckled behind her. “Also the best view of where we’ll land when we fall.” “Please don’t say things like that,” Jon squeaked. Poor Jon. I felt bad dragging him up there, knowing he didn’t like heights. I also knew he wouldn’t let us go without him. With a final pull, I swung my arms up and around the support posts of the iron railing, crawled between them, and slumped down on the cold walkway at the top of the tower. “The lyre’s keeping dry?” asked Sydney, when she joined me. I checked it, then pulled my hoodie tight around my head. “It’s good. Dana, you have your book?” “Safe.” Dana patted the pocket of her sweatshirt. Dana’s battered copy of Bulfinch’s Mythology had been our major source of information about the Underworlds.
