The walls look higher and higher as we make our way down. Cece grips my waist tighter. At least it's silent so I can actually think, which is something I need to do more than ever. Who has the sword? It's someone from my homeland, but who...? I didn't tell anyone about the whereabouts of the sword. 

"Hey... Eugene?" Lance whispers.

"Shhh." Eugene whispers.

Someone knew where the sword was. Were we followed into the underworld? Cece? No... not Cece. She doesn't have the balls for a sword. Especially that sword. Was it someone from my own crew? It's not a bad possibility. The prophet did say betrayal. Though, he was probably talking about me. Was it when the muntiny happened?

"Eugene... help. There's a spider." Lance whispers.

Eugene starts swatting.

"Lance be quiet." Rapunzel tries to calm him down. 

"AAAAH!!! SPIDER!!!" Lance screams.

The rocks begin to shake. I glare at Lance. Remind me why we brought him? A pile of rocks rain down. The horses let out a scream. Cece stands up and shoots her hand out. The rocks burst into petals. Petals that rain down on us.

"Thanks." I say.

"I've got you." Cece smiles.

"That was close." Eugene glares at Lance.

"What part of being quiet do you not understand?" I ask.

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry." Lance says.

"It's okay Lance. You were scared. That's okay." Rapunzel smiles.

"Listen, fear is one thing we can't afford here." I say.
