We crept through the hallways like a tiger hunting. We shouldn't make a sound. If we did, we'd get caught and most likely die, or worse tortured. The Sky People are great at torture, I speak from experience. 

"It's so cold in here." Lo'ak said. 

"You want a cuddle?" I chuckle. 

Lo'ak shoves me gently. I giggle slightly.

"What is up with you two?" Spider asked.

"Nothing." We both said. 

Spider turned. We walked slowly. I know where Tuk is. I can hear her snivels. She was sad and scared, mostly scared. We walk through the rooms. I go first. I know this place better than anyone. A place where I was tortured for years. I was tortured here for years.

I wince. I stepped on something sharp.  Glass. Looks like someone had an accident. I didn't scream. I didn't need to. For ten years I have laid waste in the Sky People's hands, so I've endured so much pain.

"Are you alright?" Lo'ak asks.

He nuzzles the side of my head. Spider looks disgusted. 

"Seriously, what is with you two?" He asked. 

"We're uh... a couple." Lo'ak answers. 

"We had a day of bliss." I say.

Spider stares at us in silence. Oops. He looked pale. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates.

"Hey, how did you people get here?!" A person asked. 

"Run!" I yell.
