The metal contraption activated and slammed shut around Maya.
Maya's eyes began to fill with tears as she felt the cage being lowered toward the pit of fire. She banged her fists against the metal. "No! Let me out! Let me out!"
She knew it was fruitless. No one could hear her. Not through metal this thick. The tears fell from her face.
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die… Nick, please, help!
A few more seconds passed and Maya's hope faded. Through her sobs, she actually formed a smile. And even let out a very light chuckle.
I guess expecting Nick to fight through a bunch of knights is a bit much. Sis… I'll see you soon.
As she resigned herself to her fate, she closed her eyes tight and spoke her final words.
"Goodbye, Nick… I love you."
