"I think when this is all over (assuming I live) I am going to need a very long vacation." I complained as I followed Will blindly in the dark. If he hadn't been holding my hand I probably would have lost him hours ago.

What was this creature they were all talking about anyway? I didn't get a very good look at him when the lightening shined on him. He didn't look human, that's for sure. Perhaps he was one of those werewolves my elders had spoke of, but everyone assumed that was only a story. Either way, I did not want to be in it's path.

"I wish we could get out of here, it's a death trap. I hope my brother makes it out. . .though, he is a very clever boy." I tried to reassure myself. Will's hand tightened around mine as he tried to comfort me. My whole life had changed in an instance those many months ago. All because I had taken Randy's rations. Part of me regretted it and wished I could take it all back, but another part of me (a part I had never known before) was glad to have had such adventures with Will by my side nearly the whole time.

I let my mind wander as we ran through the darkness, it was much better than worrying about death. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I almost didn't hear the shrill screams coming from the darkness. "Mira?" I asked Will, incoherently.

Before Will could say anything, someone grabbed my from behind and pulled me away from Will. I wanted to scream, but his hand was covering my mouth. I started to panic again, until I heard a familiar voice whisper in my ear, "I think I've found a way out."

"What has happened to Mira?" Will interjected.

"The guards have got her, I was able to get away. They'll be looking for me. But I suspect they will be taking her somewhere first. They have torches to see in the dark. Seems to me, if they are smart they will be wanting to get out of here before the monster gets them."

"How did you. . .?" I was about to ask, but it wasn't really important.

"if we follow them quietly, they will surely lead us to an exit." Anuja informed us.

What other choice did we have at this point? On the other hand, what if the guards were taking her to the creature?
