Done His Part

Knock. Knock. 

As the rhythmic tap Malachi gave the wooden door in front of him echoed, he saw the bodies of the two adults on the other side stiffen, freezing in place. 

With his ability to peer through obstacles and see what was happening on the other side, Malachi observed as one of the adults, whose outline appeared to be female in his eyes, used her hand to cover the mouth of the child emitting a red light from the chest, similar to him and David.

They immediately went on guard Malachi thought as he continued to stare at the group of three in front of him. He could see them, but they couldn't see him.

Understanding that the reason the trio had fallen into complete silence was their caution toward whatever was on the other side of the knocking door, Malachi decided to make his presence known.

"Hello there!" Malachi spoke out with a voice loud enough to carry without seeming like a shout, and he knocked on the door again.
