"Beni?!"
Dorothea cried out as she stumbled through the darkness. Somehow she had gotten separated from him during the panic. Holding onto the walls, she inched forward feeling her heart pound in her chest.
How did this ever happen?
One moment she was looking deep into Beni's beautiful blue eyes, hearing him ask her to become his wife. Before any true happiness could set in before the overwhelming shock, she heard that voice through the desert air.
"YOU MUST NOT READ FROM THE BOOK!"
Next thing she knew she had taken off running, now she was completely alone.
Cursing under her breath, she finally felt a draft of air. Walking faster, she found an opening and walked out, looking at the darkness of the desert around her. Taking in a deep breath of fresh air, she looked around and saw she must of walked out from a different entrance in the ruins. Rubbing her arms she felt a chill before bloody curdling screams came through the air.
Freezing she looked.
Seconds later Henderson and Daniels appeared out of nowhere, pistols raised.
"Come on lady!"
Grabbing her before she could even speak, they ran through the sand before they heard voices.
It was the men of the desert, they sat on their horses with serious looks on their faces. Dorothea stood back, noticing the others were there as well. Searching, she tried to find Beni.
The men spoke for a moment, warning them that they unleashed a plague that would kill all of them before destroying the world itself. Standing back, trying her hardest she kept looking for Beni.
That's when Burns was shown, his eyes missing.
Dorothea jumped back nearly screaming.
What had done this?
Right away everyone began getting on their horses and camels to leave. Dorothea stood there puzzled, looking at the ruins. Beni had to still be in there. Biting her bottom lip, she thought about running inside.
"Come on!"
"Wait Beniā¦"
"Come on we're gonna leave without you!"
Dorothea stared at the ruins before turning around and getting on a horse with one of the men. Looking over her shoulder she prayed that Beni had escaped.
