Hunter was slowly waking. She felt as though she was in a cloud. Warm, and soft and safe.

Kye was moving slow as to not jostle Hunter around a lot. Then he stopped. There was someone following them… or there were more then one. He couldn't tell. Not wanting to know who was following them, Kye started moving a bit faster than before.

Hunter stirred slightly.

Kye noticed her stir but couldn't stop. Whoever, or whatever was following them was getting rapidly closer. A howl rang through the cave and deafond him. Oh no… he knew what it was now. He broke into a full blown sprint, taking corners at random, and trying every trick in the book to try and shake their pursuers.

Hunter feltherself jerked awake. She was being carried-why, oh why, did it have to be him?-by Kye, who was running at top speed.

Suddenly Kye leaped forwards and they seemed suspended in mid air for a moment before it was clear that they were falling. More howling could be heard from all parts of the cave all around them. They hit the ground sliding down a steep slope. Kye jumped off of the slope and landed on a ledge, he stopped there to breath for a moment. His breathing was hard and almost raged sounding.

Hunter tried to sit Ip, but fell back, too weak.

Kye looked down at her. "Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked setting her down carefully. Howling could be heard from every direction.

“Sore,” she said. “What is with the howling?”

"Uh," Kye looked around the cave before looking back to her. "Our friends from above ground may have caught up."

She groaned. “Of course they did. That means we’re close.”

"Well, good to know I was headed in the right direction," Kye sighed. "Oh geez," he pulled away from the edge as a black shape launched up snapping at the air where he had been.

Hunter snickered. “Don’t you have a weapon or something?”

Kye gave her a look. "No, that is why I had a dagger earlier," he said pulling his dagger out. Another dark shape jumped up clawing at the ledge and pulling them-self up. Kye dragged his dagger along the wall making a god awful sound and sparking his blade. It caught fire and he placed himself in front of the creature.

She smirked, heaving herself up onto her feet. She glanced around the dark cavern, eyes wary. A narrow passage seemed to emerge, and she eyed it.

Kye sent the creature off the ledge and turned back to Hunter. "We need a way out of here." Two more creatures launched up the ledge.

She pointed to the narrow passage. “Unless you want to jump…”

"That is a mile down," Kye called over his shoulder sending one of the creatures over the edge. "No I do not want to jump." He began tussling with the other creature.

She grinned. Putting her fingers to her mouth, she whistled piercingly, the sound echoing painfully through the cavern.

The creature pulled back and glared at Hunter before jumping away. Silence soon settled on them. Kye was rubbing his ears. "Next time you do something like that do please warn me," he groaned.

Hunter grinned. She seems to be back to normal, although her face was still grayish. “But where’s the fun in that?” She pulled his arm. “Come on. We only have so much time.”

Kye rolled his eyes, but smiled. He'd stared to follow her when another creature launched out of nowhere, slamming into him. He was flung backwards and the creature landed on top of him digging it's claws into his chest. He let out a half shocked, half pained yell.

Hunter turned back… and froze. Kye was pinned to the ground.
Memories filtered into her mind, ones she’d rather forget.
Her brother, pinned to the ground, while she stood in terror.
Her best friend, bleeding out in her arms.
Him, staring at her with betrayal as his therapy was slit.
Coming back a sob, Hunter pulled a dagger from her belt and threw it. It spun, end over end, towards the creature, glowing deep silver.

The dagger buried itself into the creature's hide. It screeched and slipped off the edge, raking its's claws across Kye's core as it fell. Then in one last attempt to kill it's prey, it lunged and snapped it's jaws down on Kye's shoulder dragging him with it. Kye's pained cry echoing around the cave.

“Another one bites the dust.” The line came into Hunter’s head.
She snarled, a sound of pure rage, beforee running into the passage. It was more important than ever to get Order. Order could save Kye. If Hunter tried, she would kill him.
