"I'm going to take a wild guess, and say that this is the hole?" Axle questioned, gazing upwards at
the large hole above him, the shattered wood from when Michael and Luna feel through the floor was scattered around his feet and before long it began to smoulder and soon after erupted into flames before turning to ash, "This could be a problem, Michael" Axle said, still gazing up at the hole above him, he hadn't saw the wood burn, but he knew what had happened. "I think it'll be okay, if you move fast enough to the tiles we won't have to worry" Luna stated, standing forward beside the man as Michael sat back, scratching the back of his head as he calculated the best way out.
"I think I have it!" I called; approaching the other with a smile on my face, "the rope in my backpack might be long enough for us to climb up there" I said, still smiling as I reached for the strap on my shoulder, "The one I appear to have left at home" I sighed and dropped down onto my knees, punching my thighs with both of my clenched hands as tried to think of another way out. "Up yah go then!" Axle said, kneeling down on one knee he cupped both of his hands together into a platform, Luna hopped up onto his hands, and with a leap from Luna and an upward toss from Axle, the girl sailed up into the air, grasping the edge of the hole tightly, at first I thought she was going to slip, but as she strained her body, I watched her slowly pull herself up over the ledge, panting in relief as she rolled over out of the way of the hole, "Come on up, it looks safe" she called out; I then turned to Axle as he settled back down into his prior position, ready for me to stand on his hands, "Now or never mate" he said, smiling at me as I put my right foot into his grasp, it was cold, very cold, just like when Chris touched me, I shivered slightly but soon found myself launching up into the air, I grabbed the ledge and slowly began to pull myself up.
A few seconds later I felt Luna tugging at my wrist, hoisting me up onto the same level as here; as I got up onto my feet I turned to her and smiled, "Thanks" I chimed turning around and gazing down the hole at Axle, "And now it's my turn!" he called up, a smile on his face as with one great leap, and a cloud of smoke, he rose up beside us, landing with a soft thud upon the wooden floor. The floor immediately began to smoulder and we knew it was time to go, "Alright, the door at the end of the hallway!" I called, turning to face the black door with the plaque, I still couldn't read it, but I saw blood stains on the door, and more tiled flooring around it, "This way!" I ordered dashing towards the door, Axle and Luna following closely, the smell of smoke filling the air as the wood smouldered beneath Axle's feet.
