The path was mostly clear, leaving the three in harmony as the escaped from the cave. Dean led the group as he searched for a door, or an exit at least. Faint footsteps were heard all about the underground crucible, growing closer and closer with ever step.
Vanesse tapped his shoulder daintily, "Dean, I don't want to rush you, but…" She trailed off.
Dean nodded her off as
he led the others in a sharp turn. The darkness was bold, creeping
around each corner of the damp cave. They walked for a few minutes,
listening as the footsteps grew louder and louder.
As they
turned one last time, they found themselves staring at empty
wall-space. Dean examined the wall, tracing his fingers around a
curving crack in the cave. "There's a door here…" He
whispered. "Help me push."
The three pushed against the cracked rock, watching the daylight leak through the opening cave.
"NO!" A voice screamed from a distance, "They're escaping! Quick cease them!" Altesse ordered. Three vampires made a dodge for their prisoners, but found themselves drowned in the newfound light.
Dean slipped himself out of the door, followed by Emmiliano and then Vanesse. They stood in the light for a few moments, gladly accepting the daylight.
Author's Note: I know what you're thinking! Short chapter, right? Yeah, I know... Writer's block has been killing me lately.
