Chapter 8

Kay strained to keep up with Miguel, as they continued their flee from Aubrey. Her vision was beginning to blur.

"Kay, what's' wrong with you?" Miguel asked as he stopped running and turned around to face Kay, "Ever since you came back you've been acting really strange."

"Miguel..." Kay said looking down at the ground.

"Don't tell me nothing's wrong, I know better than that, Kay."

"Fine, I'll tell you what's wrong," Kay lifted her head and her pale eyes met with Miguel's. "It all started at this club..." Kay felt something hard hit the back of her neck and her vision went black.

Kay woke up several hours later chained to Aubrey's dungeon wall, "Miguel, where are you?" she whispered, trying to free herself from her chains.

"I'm here, Kay," Miguel whispered from across the dungeon, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Kay lied, as her side continued to bleed.

"I'm going to try and get free," Miguel said, moving his arms causing his chains to rattle.

"No, Miguel!" Kay said, with her vision finaling adjusting again to see the floor aflame with blue fire, "The whole floor is on fire!"

"It can't be on fire, Kay, there's no heat or noise coming from it," Miguel said, rattling his chains again.

"I just know it, Miguel, trust me please," Kay begged.

"Kay, I've almost got the chains off of my arms, I'm going to get both of us free!" Miguel said.

"No, Miguel, don't!" Kay screamed as she saw Miguel remove his chains and begin to fall into the flames.

Chapter 9

Kay fought and broke her chains and jumped after Miguel. Kay grabbed a hold of Miguel's shirt tail but flinched as she felt the sharp pain from her wound shoot up her spine.

She pulled Miguel tighter to her as they fell into the blue flames, "Miguel, if we don't wake it, I want you to know that I love you." The flames engulfed them and Kay's vision went black.

When she woke up Miguel's arms were wrapped around her and she was laying on the stone floor in Aubrey's dungeon, 'It was just and illusion,' she thought pulling herself up off of the cold floor.

The pain from her back crippled her and she fell back to the floor with a thud, which woke Miguel.

"Kay? Is that you?" he asked, Kay's vision was adjusted to the dark and she hadn't even noticed how pitch black it was until Miguel spoke.

"Yes, Miguel it is me," she answered, trying to position herself to ease the pain.

She didn't understand how her wound hadn't grown back, unless Aubrey had dipped the dagger he stabbed her with in gods' blood. If that was the case she would be dead in a matter of hours.
