Happiness is not a gift Book 2: The Pheonix and the sapphire of science

Chapter 3 Stealth

Ragina, Kevin and Nanyine were carried through lots of tunnels until they stopped in a room that was made out of chiseled marble.

The three each got lowered to the ground and chains tightened around their necks. Ragina could hardly breathe.

Then, leather straps with spikes jutted on the end wrapped around Ragina's wrists and feet. Holding her down to the ground.

A manowlf stood guard at the entrance, growling fiercely.

The time went slow for Ragina and her friends, but not for Angel. Angel woke up halfway while the manowlfs were carrying her. She pulled out a pocket knife from her pocket and stabbed a manowlf in the chest.

As the manowlf gave an wailing cry, the other manowlfs circled around Angel again.

The manowlfs lunged towards her and grabbed a handhold in the roof. The manowlfs crashed into each other, sending them sprawled out on the floor, dazed.

Angel walked away, in pursuit of finding her friends.

Angel went right, and then left, then left again. But the network of tunnels seemed to go on forever. Just when Angel started to give up hope, she turned a corner and saw two manowlfs guarding an entrance to the room.

Angel just had to see what they were doing, standing like that. So she pulled out her pocket knife and silently ran towards the manowlfs.

She made a mistake.

When the manowlf saw him, he gave a battle cry, which attracted other manowlfs. Soon there were fifty of them, and whatever way Angel looked, there was always a manowlf growling at her.

One of the manowlfs leaped at her, she stabbed it in the head and ducked down while another two crashed in midair.

Then, someone screamed.

"Aarg,ga!"
