Skye walked down the path towards the final challenge, head full of that kiss.
"Was it to calm me down? Did it mean anything?" Skye wondered as she put one foot in front of the other.
A ringing phone brought her out of her senses. She looked around for it and found a lit phone box.
Cautiously she walked into the phone box and answered the phone.
"Hello?" Skye asked.
"Help me." A meek female voice said in response.
"I can help you, what do you need?"
The door to the phone booth slammed shut behind her, making Skye jump. Out of the corner of her eye Skye saw a small girl wearing a red coat holding a telephone.
"Help me." She said into the phone.
Skye screamed in shock.
"What do you want from me?" she asked down the phone.
The light went off and when it came back on the girl was stood closer to the phone box, making Skye jump again.
"What do you want from me?" Skye shouted at the girl.
She stayed quiet. Skye noticed something wet covering her hand and looked down.
There was water pouring out of the microphone of the phone.
"Oh my God!" Skye screamed as the water climbed slowly up her legs.
The girl walked closer to Skye and the phone booth and took out a marker pen.
The gong sounded as the girl took the pen to the window and started writing a series of numbers.
"What are you doing?" Skye yelled as the girl started her second line of numbers.
"Wait a second, numbers, phone box." Skye realised and she started typing the numbers into the phone.
"The number dialled cannot be recognised" The receiver kept telling her as she dialled.
When the girl finished writing the numbers on the door she disappeared, leaving Skye in a half full phone booth of water.
Skye kept typing the numbers into the phone. The water was rising rapidly so she now had to duck her head under to read the remaining numbers. She entered the last number and there was a loud bang and the door behind her blew out, allowing the water and more importantly Skye to get out of the phone booth.
Looking around her Skye wondered where the girl went and where the key was located.
A light suddenly shone in some nearby trees and Skye ran over to it. She saw the hooded cape the girl was wearing on the floor and picked it up. Something heavy fell out of it.
Skye bent down to see what it was and upon realising it was the key picked it up.
"I've got it!" Skye shouted, relieved.
"Congratulations. You did it and all on your own too. You may be happy to know that you have earned an 81 metre head start. Follow the arrows."
"81 metres. I think I can live with that."
Skye set off to follow the arrows. She was proud of herself. She hadn't panicked and had earned the best head start they had earned all night. Yet again she could feel Ward's touch on her face and his lips pressing to hers.
"I believe in you"
His words were ringing around her head.
Skye suddenly felt weak around the knees and found herself having to stop and sit for a minute.
Pushing fantasies of Ward to one side, Skye got back to her feet and set off towards the kennels. As she got closer she could hear the dogs barking and she started to shake. She crept towards the only unopened box and opened it. She picked out the final piece of the puzzle and put it in her backpack.
Turning around she slowly walked towards the gate. She was shaking, she now felt weak and tired and she could still smell those body parts on her.
She looked at the wall and saw Coulson, May and Ward ready to cheer her on.
She smiled to herself as she saw the hay stuck to Ward.
