"Next time look at the map." I say. Killian ripped the map out of my hands mumbling something I couldn't hear. It probably had something to do with me knowing how women think because I am one.
"Let's go. We still have a long way to go." says Killian. He starts walking through the middle tunnel, the further we walked the darker it got.
"I found a torch, but I don't have anything to light it with." says Trevor. I pull out a match box out of my pocket. I take out a match and lit it the use it to light the torch.
"Where did you get that?" asks Killian. I look at the match box in my hand then back at him and shrug. I put the box back in my pocket. Trevor keeps the torch as we continue through the cave. The next thing I know my foot slips and I fall over the side of the path, I grab onto the edge before I could fall all the way down.
"Desiree!" yell Trevor and Killian. I look over my shoulder and see purple goo at the bottom of the hole... with stalagmites forming. I can feel my hands start slipping. I can hear the goo bubbling from below.
"Killian... my hands are slipping." I say, my heart is pounding in my chest.
"Don't worry I'll get you." he says. I'm holding on my fingers now. I feel the ledge leave my fingers and I start falling. I fall a little bit, but someone grabs my wrist. I look up and see Killian is the one who caught my wrist. "I've got ya."
"Oh God." I say breathlessly. I take my free hand and grab Killian's arm and he starts pulling me up. Once he pulled me up far enough he uses his other arm and wraps it around my waist and pulls me up the rest of the way. My feet hit the ground and they feel weak and wobbly. I wrap my arms around Killian's neck and nuzzle my face into the crook of his neck.
"Hey, hey it's okay." he says rubbing my back. My heart is still pounding, my brain hasn't processed what actually happened up until now. I feel like crying my eyes out, because I was so scared. Killian tightens his hold on me and shushing me to try and sooth me.
"I... I don't know if... if I can continue." I say trying not to cry.
"Yes you can. You're the strongest woman I've met. Come on." says Killian. He grabs my shoulders and makes me look at him. "Come on love. You can do this." I feel my heart flutter instead of pounding. I take a deep breath in and let it out to clear my head.
"Right. You're right. Let's keep going." I say. We walk further and some how Trevor got in front. We heard something click and we all stopped in our tracks. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something shimmer, I turned and looked. It was a huge swinging blade that was about to hit Trevor. Everything turned into slow motion.
I started running towards Trevor, the closer I got to him the closer the blade got. I felt my chest burning as I run, when I got close enough I jumped and pushed Trevor out of the way. As I did I felt the blade cut the side of my leg pretty deep. Once Trevor and I were out of harms way everything went back to normal.
"Desiree, Trevor are you two okay!" calls Killian.
"We're fine!" I say.
"Desi you're not fine. The blade cut your leg." says Trevor. He ripped the sleeve of his shirt off and tied it around my leg. Once the blade stopped swinging Killian came over and looked me over like and overprotective father.
"I'm fine... now." I say as Trevor and I stand up. When I put pressure on my leg pain shot through it and I let outa yelp.
"Here." says Killian as he grabs my arm on my bad side and wraps it around his shoulder, he wraps his arm around my waist. "I'll be your balance." he says. I nod not wanting to argue with him, because I know I can't walk on my own just yet. We continue walking/ limping through the cave until we came into an opening. There were two ways to go. Left or right.
"Which way should we go?" asks Trevor. The next thing I know I'm pushed out of Killian's arms and pinned to the ground. I groan in pain and look up to see who was behind this. I gasped when I saw... me? I was pinning myself down.
"Alright you shapeshifting monster this is where the line ends for you." she says.
"Me? If anyone here is a shape shifter then it's more then likely you. I'm the real Desiree." I say using my good leg to kick the imposter off of me. She rolls over and stands up and doesn't put her full weight on one of her legs which is the wrong leg if she's trying to fake my injury. I stand up the best I can and hiss with pain as my wound on my legs hurts like hell.
The imposter lunges at me and knocks me back down. We fight for dominance, rolling around in the dirt. whenever I'd pin her down she'd find away to pin me down. Soon enough Killian and Trevor pull us apart. Killian has one arm wrapped around the imposter with a gun pointed to her head while Trevor had a grip on my arm and a gun pointed to my head.
"Killian come on it's me Desi. She's the imposer here." she says.
"I'm not fighting, I'm not gonna plead my case because you know who's the fake one. You both do." I say.
"See she would fight or plead or something if she was the real one." she says.
"I know the real Desi when I see her." says Killian. I close my eyes and wait for the gun shot.
To be continued...
