Dunkim

Chapter 34

Hannah's POV

I sat with my head against the cold stone wall, thinking. I wondered where Kim was know, and if she was okay. I wondered if Kew!s was ever going to come for me, and I wondered weather or not I would get out of here alive. But most of all, I wondered if Lewis still loves me. Surely he does. Right?

My thoughts were interrupted by the floor shaking. I fell onto my stomach as the ground shock and tiny bots of rubble fell from the ceiling. I went on my hands and knees for extra support and looked around for the cause of this sudden movement. Maybe it was an earthquake. But that didn't seem true, as only the floor in our cell was shaking violently. I was able to see that this was confines to our cell.

"What's...going...on? Zoey asked between the violent shaking.

"No...idea." I replied, still on my hands and knees for support.

"Me...neither." Rowan said, also on he hands and knees.

"Wow...you...are....just full... of answers." Zoey said sarcastically. She moved onto her hands and knees as well, and gained a bit more balance.

One particularly violent shake caused us all to fall into the floor. We all lay there, to scared to get up and risk falling into the hard stone floor.

There was a bang and the floor shook violently once more, than was as still as if nothing had happened.

The room was silent as we all waited to see if anything was going to happen. When nothing did, I stood up and walked over to see if Rowan and Zoey were okay. Rowan was fine, but Zoey had a big cut in her leg. The cut wasn't deep, but it still seemed to be hurting Zoey.

"Zoey, how much does your leg hurt? On a scale from 1-10." I asked her. looking at her leg.

"8 or 9." Zoey said, tears streaming down her face. I quickly pulled off my sweater, and wrapped it around her leg. It was the closest to a bandage she would get.

"That's as close to a bandage we can get you right now." I said, tying the sleeves together and backing away. Zoey nodded, and tried to stand up. Zoey fell, and Rowan caught her.

"Be careful, you don't want to hurt yourself more." Rowan said, putting her on the stone floor, and leaning her against the cold wall. I shivered, it was freezing in here without my sweater, but Zoey needed it more that I did.

"I wonder what made the floor shake like that." Rowan said, sitting down on Zoey's left side.

"Don't we all Rowan, don't we all." I said, sitting on Zoey's right, and staring at the floor.

Duncan's POV

We finally reached a hidden sort of base in the forest. As we got closer we noticed that a certain part of the building's floor was shaking, vigorously. We stayed slightly away, until the shaking stopped. Then we, naturally, went to that part.

We stopped in front of the wall that was closest.

"Okay guys. I'm going to put some ethereal dust in your hand. When I say go I want you to throw it over your head so it falls on you. Then walk into the wall, you will go right through it. Do you all understand?" Rythian asked, we nodded in agreement.

Rythian pulled out a jar that had a ghost on it, he took off the lid to reveal silvery-purple dust. We held out our hands, and Rythian sprinkled some dust on our hands.

"Go." Rythian said. We all sprinkled the dust on ourselves. I, for one, felt like a fairy using fairy dust. We all walked through the wall.

Martyn's POV

We walked through the wall, and I saw Rowan huddled against the wall.

"Rowan!" I said, rushing towards her. I embraced her, and heart her heart beating in her chest. She winced and I quickly let her go.

"Are you okay?" I asked, looking at her worried, she had a cut on her shoulder, and she seemed weak.

"I'm fine." She said. I picked her up bridal style, and went to see if the other girls were okay.

I saw that Hannah was fine, she had a small cut on her chin, but nothing else. Next I turned to see Zoey. Zoey's face was pale, and she was unconscious. Her leg was rapped in a blood stained sweater, that looked like Hannah's. I was about to kneel down and help her when,

"Where. Is Kim." Duncan said stiffly, looking at Hannah, and Rowan.

"We don't know. She was taken somewhere else. By a man with a snake-staff." Hannah said. To my surprise, at the mention of the man with the snake staff, Rowan's muscles tightened, and snuggled closer into my chest. I heard a mutter,

"No, no, he wasn't real, he couldn't be real, he couldn't be."

"Shh, shh. It's okay Rowan. Your safe now." I whispered in her ear.

"He can't be here. He-he-he isn't alive. He can't be." She said, tears pouring from her eyes.

"Oh but I am." I heard a voice say from behind me. "Looking for her?" The man asked, holding an unconscious Kim.

"Kim!" Duncan said trying to run towards the man and Kim, but they disappeared.

"I'll take that as a yes. I won't get in your way, but you have to find her first." His voice said, coming from everywhere.

"I'm coming for you Kim." Duncan said, determination in his voice, "I'm coming."
