Maggitron ran as fast as she could down the stone corridors. Skyler clung to her back, hanging on for dear life. The pain in the teen's head worsened as they got nearer and nearer to the exit. She grit her teeth trying to ignore it but failing.

"Scid," Skyler whispered, "Turn here. Into that wall." The girl stopped running abruptly.

"Are you insane?" She whispered loudly, "Into that wall?" She looked at the child in disbelief, but the child only stared back with her piercing golden eyes.
