Three days pass in the abyss, with no action. Then a portal opens. I'm in my 18 year-old form, walking across a broken stone wall. The portal doesn't surprise me, many Chains are dumped here after their clocks are complete. But no, an unconscious girl falls through. She can't be any older than 13.
"Baskervilles," I say aloud, "always dumping random kids in here. Probably to feed the Chains."
No sooner have the words left my mouth when three, probably starving Trumps barge over.
"I SMELL SOMETHING TASTY!" the third one says, in its strange, echoing tone.
"TASTY, TASTY,TASTY!" the other three chant, in the same tone.
The human wakes, then stares, frozen, in horror, at the three incoming trumps. I don't think she even noticed me yet. Oh well, if she hasn't already , she will soon.
