"Thorne wait up, please?" Emma called out after Thorne as he walked high- speed down the tunnel.

"Stop following me Emma. Leave me alone" Thorne spat out.

Emma was trying to keep up with him but it was so dark. She tripped in a medium sized hole and landed in a thud on the dirt floor.

"Ouch!" She cried out.

Thorne heard her and hesitated before turning back and helping her up.

"Are you alright?" He said as he grabbed her hand and helped her to her feet.

"I will live" she said. "Thanks."

Emma got many mixed feelings off of holding Thorne's hand. She got many warm, comfortable hits from him. She actually felt safe with him. She new he could never hurt her.

Thorne realized he still had her hand and apologized as he let go.

Emma began blushing. She couldn't explain it. What was she feeling? She was glad that it was dark so he could not see the red in her cheeks.

"Em? Emma? Em?" Brennan called out down the tunnel. They could see the light from his powers coming directly towards them.

"In front of you Bren" Emma called out.

"There you are. I was already worried about you. I am so sorry Em. Please forgive me?" Brennan said as he wrapped his arms around Emma's neck and placed his forehead on hers.

"Do I have a choice?" Emma said sarcastically.

Brennan paused for a moment before responding, "No, no you don't".

"Thorne, I am sorry for being an ass. I should be concentrating on getting us out of her, not giving you a hard time" Brennan said in a tone like he was being forced to be courteous.

"You have every right," said Thorne. "I deserve it. Tell you what, lets put all energies into getting the hell out of here, and once we are free I will give you every opportunity to get your revenge on me."

"Well Thorne, you sure know how to throw out some incentive!" Brennan said in a humorous tone. "I am motivated already. Let get the hell out of here! Marshal, how many of these passageways have you explored since you have been here?"

Marshal pointed in the directions he had been down, and they all agreed to continue the way they were heading.

Thoughts from Thorne: God I hate that Mulwray! What a jerk. How long to I have to pretend we are cool. I should just snap his neck while he is sleeping. No, no I can't do that, not yet. We may need him to get out of here. Emma trusts me, I think. She is so pretty. Maybe if I play my cards right she could.No it is a trick. She hates me. She is too close with him. I will just wait for the right moment. He deserves to die. He will die.

Everyone proceeded to walk down the tunnels at an average pace. Brennan was doing well with his walking. He could not stop thinking about Shalimar. Her beautiful smile, her soft lips, her curves. Thinking about her helped him keep his pace and determination to survive and find a way out. He wondered how Adam was, and if Jesse and Shal were safe too. It had felt like he was separated from Shal for months. His heart felt empty and sad.

"We will get out of here Bren." Emma whispered into Brennan's ear and grabbed his hand.

Brennan glanced over at Emma.

"Sorry Bren, could not help reading you, you were sending out too strong of emotions."

Brennan let out a small sigh and kept his silence.
