Peter woke to a bright sunbeam shining on his face. His eyelids flickered then opened. He sat up, and felt a stabbing pain in his head. He put his hand to the back of his head and felt blood in his hair and a large gash running down his head. He looked back to see a puddle of blood on the floor where his head was.
The floor was a hard stone, he noticed. And the walls were of the same material but in bricks. He pulled off his shirt and began to tear it. He then noticed a dark figure sitting in the corner with her legs up against her chest. Peter squinted, to get a better look. It shifted, and he almost fell backwards. I was defiantly a girl. It had really long hair, and small figure. But it was no one he had ever seen.
She shifted again, and Peter backed away a little further. He gulped, and waited for her to do something. But then he realized, she was sleeping! He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. He couldn't see her face, because it was on her knees buried in her clothes. She was hunched over, in the darkness. He hair was a light color, maybe blonde.
Peter was reminded of his head when a drop of blood fell onto his back. He sighed and tied a strip of his shirt around his head. It was pretty loose, but he thought it would do.
The girl shifted more, and lifted muttered. "You need to put pressure on it." She said, lifting her head. Her face and voice were unmistakable. Peter looked at her.
"Lily?" he asked her, squinting. A small silver tear ran down her cheek, and she nodded slightly. His eyes widened, and he pulled her in a large hug. He had finally found her. He looked down at her. Her hair wasn't the usual brown. In fact, it was…
"White?" he asked her, confused. She nodded, and sniffed. She was crying.
"It means I've been touched by a demon." She said quietly. He hugged her again, but gripped her shoulders and pulled away. He looked into her eyes. Normal, but they were last time too, and it was really Aries. He gulped again. She looked so fragile and scared.
"What happened to you?" he asked her. He decided to trust her for now. She hung her head sadly.
"I've been here. I ran away, and fell down a cliff. I lost my friends. Then, Aires found me. I was trying to escape her. But then, she trapped me in here with magic. It's been a couple days." Lily explained. She burst out in tears. Peter hugged her again.
"Ok, but we need to find a way out." He said, stroking her head. She nodded. She looked up at him.
"Not yet." She said. She stood up, and took the cloth he had wrapped around his head. She untied it and took the scraps of his shirt. She put pressure on his gash, and then tied the cloth is place around his head. She smiled at her work and kneeled next to him. "That should hold until we get to the castle. If we ever get back." Her smile faded and she hung her head.
Peter hugged her again. "Don't worry, everything will be okay." Was all he said.
A/N: ok, I've got extreme writers block! I had to end this chapter short. This is what I need you to do. When you review, tell me how you think Aries should be defeated. Give me suggestions for an ending. If I use your ideas, I'll post it in the beginning of the chapter. So, please review! Thanks, Jenna
