Chapter One Arkarian
Looking down at Dillon, I can't help but feel an absolute feeling of despair. It's just as if all the evils of this Underworld are sitting there and taunting me. They are waving my only thread of hope in front of my face, and I hate it.
I look up to see Isabel and Ethan share a look. Judging by their expressions, they don't like our other and only alternative.
"There's nothing we can do about, Ethan," Isabel says in a quiet voice.
"I know," he says back. Running a hand through his hair he continues on with, "I just hate it. I never want to have to see what I saw again. It was worse than…." he looks at Sera, his voice cutting off.
Looking back and forth between the pair, I can't help but think that I was wrong in thinking that Isabel could really want me, despite what had happened just a few minutes ago. Man, this sucks.
Clearing my throat, I add on my own opinion. "If we are going to go anywhere, we should probably go out a different way than how you all came in, considering the dogs and what not."
Isabel and Ethan nod in agreement. Looking down at Sera, Ethan asks, "Is there another way out of here?"
"I think that there is a secret passageway out of here. I was always too scared to try it out though," Sera murmured while pointing to somewhere on the other side of the room. Isabel gasps at the sight of it. Of course she would though. I had forgotten about her affinity with the light. Good thing that they have torches as well.
"Well, Sera. There is only one way to find out if that passageway works or not."
