The door slid open to reveal Raven staring at me with his piercing grey eyes. "How can you bear to be in here? You do realise this is the room were IT happened. "Raven shot accusingly.

"Two patrols have been past in the time it took for you to get here, and yes, I'm here before you because I knew where I wanted to go and took a short cut." I explained, avoiding his question.

If I could, I would have collapsed to the ground but I couldn't, I had to save us. I couldn't do that either because people were grabbing me, stoping me from moving. As I struggled to get free, darkness covered my field of vision, the warning messages froze, my heart pounded and my head hurt.
